Today we are announcing a major milestone for another one of the Google APIs client libraries. The Google APIs Client Library for PHP has officially reached Beta.

This means we're comfortable enough with the stability and features of the library that we'd like you to start building real production applications on top of it and send us your feedback. The library now includes service-specific libraries and samples for several Google APIs, built on our new client library generation infrastructure.

The Google API PHP client supports the following Google APIs right now, with more on the way.

• Buzz API - Sample
• Books API - Sample
• Latitude API - Sample
• Page Speed Online API - Sample
• Tasks API - Sample
• URL Shortener API - Sample

To grab the latest version of the library, simply run the following commands:

curl "http://google-api-php-client.googlecode.com/files/google-api-php-client-0.4.1.tar.gz" -O
tar -xvf  google-api-php-client-0.4.1.tar.gz
cd google-api-php-client/examples/

Here is some sample code that demonstrates how to use the library and the Google Books API to search for and print the titles of free ebooks by Henry David Thoreau:

<?php
require_once 'path/to/src/apiClient.php';
require_once 'path/to/src/contrib/apiBooksService.php';

$client = new apiClient();
$client->setApplicationName("My_Books_API_Example");
$service = new apiBooksService($client);

$optParams = array('filter' => 'free-ebooks');
$results = $service->volumes->listVolumes('Henry David Thoreau', $optParams);

foreach ($results['items'] as $item) {
  print($item['volumeInfo']['title'] . '<br>');
}

Let us know what you think. We would love to hear your feedback and are always happy to help you out on the forums.

Since Google I/O 2010, we've been developing APIs that can provide descriptions of themselves via metadata. This new technique makes it easier to create and maintain client libraries that support more languages, work with more APIs, and are easier to use than ever before. This post announces one of several recent major milestones for our client libraries.

In June we released Swiffy, an experimental tool to convert Flash to HTML5, on Google Labs. We were thrilled with the response: in the first month, Swiffy users converted hundreds of thousands of files.

We received a lot of feedback from developers after the launch, and we learnt a lot from studying the warnings generated in the conversion process. As a result, we’ve released several improvements over the last few weeks. For example, Swiffy now supports shape tweening and drop shadow, blur and glow filters, all using SVG, CSS and JavaScript. Some of these filters can be seen in action in this Chrome ad (on a browser with SVG filter support).

We’ve also made Swiffy easier to use. You can now convert files of up to 1MB, and you’ll get a QR code to preview the output on a mobile device. We’ve also made it clear that you can host the Swiffy runtime (the JavaScript file that controls the animation) yourself if you need to.

Although Google Labs is winding down, Swiffy will continue to be available. We’re moving Swiffy to a new home: http://www.google.com/doubleclick/studio/swiffy (or, for those in a hurry, g.co/swiffy). Although it’s no longer a Labs product, it is still in beta, so it may not be able to convert all your Flash files, but we’re working to improve it all the time.
