All Google APIs are available to .NET developers through the NuGet package
manager.
To add Google APIs to your project in Visual Studio:
Right-click Project references.
Click Manage NuGet Packages.
Choose the Browse tab.
Before searching, make sure that Include prerelease is checked to show
all Google Cloud libraries.
Note: Some of the libraries listed are Beta.
Enter a search string, for example google pubsub.
Searching returns two different types of results:
Results with a Google Cloud prefix are the Cloud Client Libraries
and the recommended way to access Google Cloud APIs
programmatically. For more information and a list of APIs, see
.NET Cloud Client Libraries.
Results with a Google.Apis prefix are Google API Client Libraries that are
available for all Google APIs. You might want to use these libraries if a
Cloud Client Library isn't available for the API you're using. For a
complete list of Google API Client Libraries, see
.NET.
