For normal client usage, this is sufficient:

## API Features

### API Discovery

To take full advantage of the client, load API definitions prior to use. To load an API:

urlshortener = client.discovered_api('urlshortener')
```ruby
urlshortener = client.discovered_api('urlshortener')
```

Specific versions of the API can be loaded as well:

drive = client.discovered_api('drive', 'v2')
```ruby
drive = client.discovered_api('drive', 'v2')
```

Locally cached discovery documents may be used as well. To load an API from a local file:

doc = File.read('my-api.json')
my_api = client.register_discovery_document('myapi', 'v1', doc)
```ruby
doc = File.read('my-api.json')
my_api = client.register_discovery_document('myapi', 'v1', doc)
```

batch = Google::APIClient::BatchRequest.new do |result|

batch.add(:api_method => urlshortener.url.insert,
:body_object => { 'longUrl' => 'http://example.com/bar' })
client.execute(batch)
```

Blocks for handling responses can be specified either at the batch level or when adding an individual API call. For example:

batch.add(:api_method=>urlshortener.url.insert, :body_object => { 'longUrl' => 'http://example.com/bar' }) do |result|
puts result.data
end
```ruby
batch.add(:api_method=>urlshortener.url.insert, :body_object => { 'longUrl' => 'http://example.com/bar' }) do |result|
puts result.data
end
```

### Media Upload

For APIs that support file uploads, use `Google::APIClient::UploadIO` to load the stream. Both multipart and resumable
uploads can be used. For example, to upload a file to Google Drive using multipart

drive = client.discovered_api('drive', 'v2')
```ruby
drive = client.discovered_api('drive', 'v2')

media = Google::APIClient::UploadIO.new('mymovie.m4v', 'video/mp4')
metadata = {
'title' => 'My movie',
'description' => 'The best home movie ever made'
}
client.execute(:api_method => drive.files.insert,
:parameters => { 'uploadType' => 'multipart' },
:body_object => metadata,
:media => media )
media = Google::APIClient::UploadIO.new('mymovie.m4v', 'video/mp4')
metadata = {
'title' => 'My movie',
'description' => 'The best home movie ever made'
}
client.execute(:api_method => drive.files.insert,
:parameters => { 'uploadType' => 'multipart' },
:body_object => metadata,
:media => media )
```

To use resumable uploads, change the `uploadType` parameter to `resumable`. To check the status of the upload
and continue if necessary, check `result.resumable_upload`.

client.execute(:api_method => drive.files.insert,
:parameters => { 'uploadType' => 'resumable' },
:body_object => metadata,
:media => media )
upload = result.resumable_upload
```ruby
client.execute(:api_method => drive.files.insert,
:parameters => { 'uploadType' => 'resumable' },
:body_object => metadata,
:media => media )
upload = result.resumable_upload

# Resume if needed
if upload.resumable?
client.execute(upload)
end
# Resume if needed
if upload.resumable?
client.execute(upload)
end
```

## Command Line

Included with the gem is a command line interface for working with Google APIs.

# Log in
google-api oauth-2-login --client-id='...' --client-secret='...' --scope="https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me"
```bash
# Log in
google-api oauth-2-login --client-id='...' --client-secret='...' --scope="https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me"

# List the signed-in user's activities
google-api execute plus.activities.list --api=plus -- userId="me" collection="public"
# List the signed-in user's activities
google-api execute plus.activities.list --api=plus -- userId="me" collection="public"

# Start an interactive API session
google-api irb
>> plus = $client.discovered_api('plus')
>> $client.execute(plus.activities.list, {'userId' => 'me', 'collection' => 'public'})
=> # returns a response from the API
# Start an interactive API session
google-api irb
>> plus = $client.discovered_api('plus')
>> $client.execute(plus.activities.list, {'userId' => 'me', 'collection' => 'public'})
=> # returns a response from the API
