• Documentation

Quick Start

$ pip install --upgrade google-cloud-pubsub

Authentication

With google-cloud-python we try to make authentication as painless as possible. Check out the Authentication section in our documentation to learn more. You may also find the authentication document shared by all the google-cloud-* libraries to be helpful.

Using the API

Google Cloud Pub/Sub (Pub/Sub API docs) is designed to provide reliable, many-to-many, asynchronous messaging between applications. Publisher applications can send messages to a topic and other applications can subscribe to that topic to receive the messages. By decoupling senders and receivers, Google Cloud Pub/Sub allows developers to communicate between independently written applications.

See the google-cloud-python API Pub/Sub documentation to learn how to connect to Cloud Pub/Sub using this Client Library.

To get started with this API, you'll need to create

from google.cloud import pubsub

client = pubsub.Client()
topic = client.topic('topic_name')
topic.create()

topic.publish('this is the message_payload',
              attr1='value1', attr2='value2')
