Google Cloud Endpoints sample

This sample demonstrates how to use Google Cloud Endpoints on Google App Engine flexible environment using Node.js.

Running locally​

Refer to the [appengine/README.md] file for instructions on running locally.

Deploying to Google App Engine​

Open the openapi.yaml file and in the host property, replace YOUR-PROJECT-ID with your project's ID.

Then, deploy the sample using gcloud:

gcloud beta app deploy

Once deployed, you can access the application at https://YOUR-PROJECT-ID.appspot.com/.

Send an echo request​

Choose your local or production server:

# If you're running locally, you won't need an API key.
$ export ENDPOINTS_HOST=http://localhost:8080

$ export ENDPOINTS_HOST=https://PROJECT-ID.appspot.com
$ export ENDPOINTS_KEY=AIza...

Send the request:

$ curl -vv -d '{"message":"foo"}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' "${ENDPOINTS_HOST}/echo?key=${ENDPOINTS_KEY}"

If you're running locally, you won't need an API key.

Sending authenticated requests​

No Node.js client is written yet, but you can try the Python client found here. It will send authenticated JWT requests using a Google Cloud service account, or using a three-legged OAuth flow.
