This codelab requires you to use the Python language (although many languages are supported by the Google APIs client libraries, so feel free to build something equivalent in your favorite development tool and simply use the Python as pseudocode). If you prefer not to use Python, you're welcome to implement the codelab in your favorite development tool (supported languages' client libraries are available here) and simply refer to the Python examples as (executable) pseudocode.

Familiarity to POSIX-compliant systems like Linux & Mac OS X.A Google account (Google Workspace accounts may require administrator approval).Access to the internet and a web browser.Obtain file and folder information with the Google Drive API.Write applications using Google & Google Workspace APIs.Learn about using the Google APIs Client Libraries.Obtain & use OAuth2 application credentials in your app.Create a project using the Google/Cloud Developers Console.

With the formalities taken care of, you'll write an app to display the first 100 files & folders in your Google Drive by using its API. You'll be exposed to introductory topics such as how to use the developer console to create/manage projects, obtaining authorization credentials, and installing the API client libraries. The example will be done in Python for brevity and availability, but you can also choose to use your favorite development language. This codelab introduces you to using Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) HTTP-based RESTful APIs.
