Gapi to GraphQL

Converts almost any Google Data API to a GraphQL API via the Google API Discovery Service

Limitations

• Read only
• No downloading (think Drive documents ... )

Supports 138 Google APIs!

Full list of APIs and their require() path

Usage

npm i gapi-to-graphql --save

Example on the server

index.mjs

import { gql, ApolloServer } from 'apollo-server'
import gapiToGraphQL from 'gapi-to-graphql'
import YouTubeAPI from 'gapi-to-graphql/google_apis/youtube-v3'

const { schema, resolvers } = gapiToGraphQL({ gapiAsJsonSchema: YouTubeAPI })

const server = new ApolloServer({
  typeDefs: gql`
    ${schema}
  `,
  resolvers
})

server.listen({ port: 3031 }).then(({ url }) => {
  console.log(`🚀  Server ready at ${url}`)
})

Run example with node --experimental-modules index.mjs

Query usage

{
  YoutubeApi(key: "YOUR_API_KEY") {
    search {
      list(q: "graphql", part: "snippet") {
        items {
          id {
            videoId
          }
          snippet {
            title
            thumbnails {
              default {
                url
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

FAQ

Should this API be exposed to web clients

Yes, but be sure to add API keys and sanitize other parameters via a middleware solution like https://www.npmjs.com/package/graphql-add-middleware

Can I use this in production

Yes, since all its doing is making API calls it's fairly safe to use in production if your use cases have been well tested in development.
