Google Cloud Storage: Node.js Client
Node.js idiomatic client for Cloud Storage.
Cloud Storage allows world-wide storage and retrieval of any amount of data at any time. You can use Google Cloud Storage for a range of scenarios including serving website content, storing data for archival and disaster recovery, or distributing large data objects to users via direct download.
A comprehensive list of changes in each version may be found in the CHANGELOG.

Quickstart
Before you begin
- Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
- Enable billing for your project.
- Enable the Google Cloud Storage API.
- Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.
Installing the client library
npm install @google-cloud/storage
Using the client library
// Imports the Google Cloud client library
const {Storage} = require('@google-cloud/storage');
// For more information on ways to initialize Storage, please see
// https://googleapis.dev/nodejs/storage/latest/Storage.html
// Creates a client using Application Default Credentials
const storage = new Storage();
// Creates a client from a Google service account key
// const storage = new Storage({keyFilename: 'key.json'});
/**
* TODO(developer): Uncomment these variables before running the sample.
*/
// The ID of your GCS bucket
// const bucketName = 'your-unique-bucket-name';
async function createBucket() {
// Creates the new bucket
await storage.createBucket(bucketName);
console.log(`Bucket ${bucketName} created.`);
}
createBucket().catch(console.error);

Supported Node.js Versions
Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js. If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.
Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a best-efforts basis with the following warnings:
- Legacy versions are not tested in continuous integration.
- Some security patches and features cannot be backported.
- Dependencies cannot be kept up-to-date.
Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and
can be installed through npm dist-tags.
The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version).
For example, npm install @google-cloud/storage@legacy-8 installs client libraries
for versions compatible with Node.js 8.
Versioning
This library follows Semantic Versioning.
This library is considered to be stable. The code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against stable libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
