```
Optional extras:
```bash
pip install gsuite-sdk[cloudrun] # Google Cloud Secret Manager support
pip install gsuite-sdk[all] # All optional dependencies (FastAPI, CLI)
```
## Quick Start
### Prerequisites
You need OAuth credentials from Google Cloud Console. See [Getting Credentials](docs/GETTING_CREDENTIALS.md) for a step-by-step guide.
### Authentication
```python
from gsuite_core import GoogleAuth
# OAuth (interactive, opens browser)
auth = GoogleAuth()
auth.authenticate()
# Or with service account
auth = GoogleAuth.from_service_account("service-account.json")
```
### Gmail
```python
from gsuite_gmail import Gmail, query
gmail = Gmail(auth)
# Get unread messages with fluent API
for message in gmail.get_unread():
print(f"{message.sender}: {message.subject}")
message.mark_as_read().archive() # Fluent chaining!
# Send email with signature
gmail.send(
to=["recipient@example.com"],
subject="Hello",
body="World",
signature=True, # Appends your Gmail signature
)
# Search with query builder (inspired by simplegmail)
messages = gmail.search(
query.newer_than(days=7) & query.has_attachment() & query.from_("boss@company.com")
)
# Or use construct_query for dict-style
messages = gmail.search(query.construct_query(
unread=True,
newer_than=(7, "day"),
labels=["Work"],
))
```
### Drive
```python
from gsuite_drive import Drive
drive = Drive(auth)
# List files
for file in drive.list_files():
print(f"{file.name} ({file.mime_type})")
# Upload
uploaded = drive.upload("document.pdf")
print(f"Uploaded: {uploaded.web_view_link}")
# Download
file = drive.get("file_id")
file.download("local_copy.pdf")
# Create folder and upload into it
folder = drive.create_folder("My Folder")
drive.upload("file.txt", parent_id=folder.id)
```
### Calendar
```python
from gsuite_calendar import Calendar
calendar = Calendar(auth)
# Get upcoming events
events = calendar.get_upcoming(days=7)
for event in events:
print(f"{event.start}: {event.summary}")
# Create event
calendar.create_event(
summary="Meeting",
start="2026-01-30T10:00:00",
end="2026-01-30T11:00:00",
)
```
### Sheets
```python
from gsuite_sheets import Sheets
sheets = Sheets(auth)
# Open spreadsheet by title or URL
sheet = sheets.open("My Spreadsheet")
# Or by key
sheet = sheets.open_by_key("1A2B3C...")
# Or by URL
sheet = sheets.open_by_url("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/...")
# Read values
values = sheet.get_values("Sheet1!A1:D10")
print(values) # [[row1], [row2], ...]
# Write values
sheet.update_values("Sheet1!A1", [["Name", "Email"], ["John", "john@example.com"]])
# Append rows
sheet.append_values("Sheet1", [["Jane", "jane@example.com"]])
# Batch operations
sheet.batch_update([
{"range": "Sheet1!A1", "values": [["Header1", "Header2"]]},
{"range": "Sheet1!A2", "values": [["Data1", "Data2"]]},
])
# Create new spreadsheet
new_sheet = sheets.create("Budget 2026")
print(f"Created: {new_sheet.url}")
# List all spreadsheets
for spreadsheet in sheets.list_spreadsheets():
print(f"{spreadsheet['name']} - {spreadsheet['id']}")
```
### Tasks and Contacts
Tasks and Contacts are opt-in: their scopes are not in the default login
(contacts is a sensitive scope). Log in with them and enable the **Google Tasks
API** / **People API** in your Cloud project:
```bash
gsuite auth login --force --scopes default,tasks,contacts
```
```python
from datetime import date
from gsuite_contacts import Contacts
from gsuite_tasks import Tasks
tasks = Tasks(auth)
task = tasks.create_task("Pay rent", due=date(2026, 2, 1))
for t in tasks.list_tasks(show_completed=False):
print(t.title, t.due, "overdue" if t.is_overdue else "")
tasks.complete_task(task.id)
contacts = Contacts(auth)
for c in contacts.search("ana"):
print(c.display_name, c.email, c.phone)
ana = contacts.create(given_name="Ana", emails=["ana@example.com"])
contacts.update(ana.id, phones=["+54 11 5555-5555"])
```
### REST API
```bash
# Start unified API server
gsuite serve --port 8080
# Or with Docker
docker run -p 8080:8080 gsuite-api
```
```bash
# All services under one roof
curl http://localhost:8080/gmail/messages/unread
curl http://localhost:8080/calendar/events/upcoming
curl http://localhost:8080/drive/files
curl http://localhost:8080/sheets/list
curl http://localhost:8080/sheets/{spreadsheet_id}/values/Sheet1!A1:D10
curl http://localhost:8080/tasks/lists/@default/tasks
curl "http://localhost:8080/contacts/search?q=ana"
```
**Interactive API docs available at `/docs` when server is running.** See [API Documentation](#api-documentation) section below for details.

### Design Principles
- **Clean Architecture** - Domain entities, interfaces, infrastructure separation
- **Provider Agnostic** - Swap implementations via interfaces
- **Shared Auth** - One OAuth flow grants access to all services
- **Independent Packages** - Install only what you need
- **Unified Gateway** - Single API/CLI for all services
For detailed architecture decisions and design patterns, see [Architecture Documentation](docs/ARCHITECTURE.md).
## Use with AI agents
[`skills/gsuite-sdk`](skills/gsuite-sdk/SKILL.md) is an
[Agent Skill](https://agentskills.io) that teaches an agent to use the `gsuite`
CLI (JSON output) and the SDK. Install it in your agent:
```bash
npx skills add PabloAlaniz/google-suite # Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot, ...
claude plugin marketplace add PabloAlaniz/google-suite # Claude Code plugin
claude plugin install gsuite-sdk@gsuite-sdk
gemini extensions install https://github.com/PabloAlaniz/google-suite # Gemini CLI extension
```
In a Claude Code session: `/plugin install gsuite-sdk --marketplace PabloAlaniz/google-suite`.
### MCP server
[`gsuite-mcp`](packages/mcp/README.md) exposes Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Sheets,
Tasks and Contacts as MCP tools for any MCP client:
```bash
claude mcp add gsuite -e GSUITE_TOKEN_DB_PATH="$PWD/tokens.db" -- uvx gsuite-mcp
```
It is in the [official MCP Registry](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io)
as `io.github.PabloAlaniz/gsuite-sdk`.
On OpenClaw it is [`pabloalaniz/gsuite-sdk`](https://clawhub.ai/pabloalaniz/gsuite-sdk) on ClawHub.
The agent still needs the SDK and a login: `pip install "gsuite-sdk[cli]"` and
`gsuite auth login` (see [Quick Start](#quick-start)).
## Standalone Repos
This monorepo consolidates and extends these standalone projects:
- [Gmail-API](https://github.com/PabloAlaniz/Gmail-API) - Standalone Gmail API
- [Calendar-API](https://github.com/PabloAlaniz/Calendar-API) - Standalone Calendar API
The standalone repos remain functional for existing deployments.
## Configuration
Environment variables (prefix `GSUITE_`):
| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `GSUITE_CREDENTIALS_FILE` | OAuth credentials JSON path |
| `GSUITE_TOKEN_STORAGE` | `sqlite` or `secretmanager` |
| `GSUITE_TOKEN_DB_PATH` | SQLite token database path |
| `GSUITE_GCP_PROJECT_ID` | GCP project (for Secret Manager) |
| `GSUITE_API_KEY` | API key for REST endpoints (required unless `GSUITE_ALLOW_NO_API_KEY=true`) |
| `GSUITE_CORS_ORIGINS` | Comma-separated origins allowed by CORS (off by default) |
See [api/README.md](api/README.md#configuration) for every REST API setting.
## Development
```bash
# Clone
git clone https://github.com/PabloAlaniz/google-suite.git
cd google-suite
# Install everything, pinned by uv.lock
uv sync --all-extras
# Run tests
uv run pytest
# Lint
uv run ruff check packages api cli
```
## Deployment
### Cloud Run (GCP)
Deploy the REST API to Cloud Run with Secret Manager for token storage:
```bash
# Build and push Docker image (from the repo root)
docker build -f api/Dockerfile -t gcr.io/YOUR_PROJECT/gsuite-api .
docker push gcr.io/YOUR_PROJECT/gsuite-api
# Deploy to Cloud Run
gcloud run deploy gsuite-api \
--image gcr.io/YOUR_PROJECT/gsuite-api \
--platform managed \
--region us-central1 \
--set-env-vars GSUITE_TOKEN_STORAGE=secretmanager \
--set-env-vars GSUITE_GCP_PROJECT_ID=YOUR_PROJECT \
--set-secrets GSUITE_API_KEY=gsuite-api-key:latest \
--allow-unauthenticated
```
The API rejects every request until `GSUITE_API_KEY` is set. If you protect
the service with IAM instead (`--no-allow-unauthenticated`), set
`GSUITE_ALLOW_NO_API_KEY=true` rather than the key.
**Note:** For Secret Manager token storage, ensure your Cloud Run service account has `secretmanager.versions.access` permission.
### Docker Compose
For local development or self-hosted deployment:
```yaml
version: '3.8'
services:
gsuite-api:
build:
context: .
dockerfile: api/Dockerfile
ports:
- "8080:8080"
environment:
GSUITE_CREDENTIALS_FILE: /secrets/credentials.json
GSUITE_TOKEN_DB_PATH: /data/tokens.db
GSUITE_API_KEY: your-api-key-here
volumes:
- ./credentials.json:/secrets/credentials.json:ro
- ./data:/data
```
## API Documentation
When running the REST API server, interactive API docs are available at:
- **Swagger UI**: `http://localhost:8080/docs`
- **ReDoc**: `http://localhost:8080/redoc`
## Troubleshooting
### Token refresh failed
**Problem:** `TokenRefreshError: Failed to refresh token`
**Solution:**
- Delete the token database: `rm ~/.gsuite/tokens.db` (or your configured path)
- Re-authenticate: `gsuite auth login`
- For service accounts, verify the JSON file hasn't expired
### Missing scopes
**Problem:** `HttpError 403: Insufficient Permission`
**Solution:**
- Check required scopes in error message
- Re-authenticate with additional scopes:
```bash
gsuite auth login --scopes gmail.readonly,calendar,drive
```
- Or update `GSUITE_DEFAULT_SCOPES` environment variable
### Credentials not found
**Problem:** `CredentialsNotFoundError: OAuth credentials file not found`
**Solution:**
- Download OAuth credentials from [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials)
- Save as `credentials.json` in working directory
- Or set `GSUITE_CREDENTIALS_FILE` environment variable
### Import errors
**Problem:** `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gsuite_gmail'`
**Solution:**
- Install the package: `pip install gsuite-sdk`
- Or for development: `uv sync --all-extras` (see [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md))
