TypeScript typings for Books API v1

The Google Books API allows clients to access the Google Books repository. For detailed description please check documentation.

Installing

Install typings for Books API:

npm install @types/gapi.client.books-v1 --save-dev

Usage

You need to initialize Google API client in your code:

gapi.load('client', () => {
  // now we can use gapi.client
  // ...
});

Then load api client wrapper:

gapi.client.load(
  'https://books.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v1',
  () => {
    // now we can use:
    // gapi.client.books
  },
);

// Deprecated, use discovery document URL, see https://github.com/google/google-api-javascript-client/blob/master/docs/reference.md#----gapiclientloadname----version----callback--
gapi.client.load('books', 'v1', () => {
  // now we can use:
  // gapi.client.books
});

Don't forget to authenticate your client before sending any request to resources:

// declare client_id registered in Google Developers Console
var client_id = '',
  scope = [
    // Manage your books
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/books',
  ],
  immediate = true;
// ...

gapi.auth.authorize(
  {client_id: client_id, scope: scope, immediate: immediate},
  authResult => {
    if (authResult && !authResult.error) {
      /* handle successful authorization */
    } else {
      /* handle authorization error */
    }
  },
);

After that you can use Books API resources:

/*

*/
await gapi.client.books.bookshelves.get({shelf: 'shelf', userId: 'userId'});

/*
Retrieves a list of public bookshelves for the specified user.

await gapi.client.books.cloudloading.deleteBook({volumeId: 'volumeId'});

/*

  volumeIds: 'volumeIds',
});

/*

await gapi.client.books.myconfig.requestAccess({
  cpksver: 'cpksver',
  nonce: 'nonce',
  source: 'source',
  volumeId: 'volumeId',
});

/*

*/
await gapi.client.books.myconfig.syncVolumeLicenses({
  cpksver: 'cpksver',
  nonce: 'nonce',
  source: 'source',
});

/*
