<h3 class="block-title">What is it?</h3>

<p>Node idiomatic client for Google Cloud services.</p>
<p><code>gcloud-node</code> is a client library for accessing Google Cloud Platform services that significantly reduces the boilerplate code you have to write. The library is provides high-level API abstractions so they're easier to understand. And, it embraces idioms of Node.js, such as returning Readable streams or errors as the first object in callbacks. All this means you spend more time creating code that matters to you.</p>
<p><code>gcloud-node</code> is configured to access Google Cloud services and authorize (OAuth2) automatically on your behalf. With a one line install and a private key, you are up and ready to go. Better yet, if you are running on a Google Compute Engine instance, the one line install is enough!</p>
