Basic Usage

Let's explore the basic usage of the Google HTTP Client Library for Java through various examples.

1. Making a Simple GET Request

The following code demonstrates how to make a simple GET request using the Google HTTP Client Library:

import com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequest;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequestFactory;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpResponse;
import com.google.api.client.http.javanet.NetHttpTransport;
import com.google.api.client.http.GenericUrl;

public class HttpClientExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // Create a request factory using NetHttpTransport
            HttpRequestFactory requestFactory = new NetHttpTransport().createRequestFactory();
            // Define the URL for the GET request
            GenericUrl url = new GenericUrl("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1");
            // Build the GET request
            HttpRequest request = requestFactory.buildGetRequest(url);
            // Execute the request and get the response
            HttpResponse response = request.execute();
            // Parse the response as a String and print it
            System.out.println(response.parseAsString());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // Print the stack trace if an exception occurs
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequest;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequestFactory;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpResponse;
import com.google.api.client.http.javanet.NetHttpTransport;
import com.google.api.client.http.GenericUrl;

public class HttpClientExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // Create a request factory using NetHttpTransport
            HttpRequestFactory requestFactory = new NetHttpTransport().createRequestFactory();
            // Define the URL for the GET request
            GenericUrl url = new GenericUrl("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1");
            // Build the GET request
            HttpRequest request = requestFactory.buildGetRequest(url);
            // Execute the request and get the response
            HttpResponse response = request.execute();
            // Parse the response as a String and print it
            System.out.println(response.parseAsString());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // Print the stack trace if an exception occurs
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
JAVA

In this example, we create an HttpRequestFactory and use it to build and execute a GET request to a placeholder API. We use a try-catch block here to handle exceptions that may occur when the request fails. We then print the response to the console.

2. Making a POST Request with JSON Data

The following code demonstrates how to make a POST request with JSON data:

import com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequest;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequestFactory;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpResponse;
import com.google.api.client.http.javanet.NetHttpTransport;
import com.google.api.client.http.GenericUrl;
import com.google.api.client.http.json.JsonHttpContent;
import com.google.api.client.json.JsonFactory;
import com.google.api.client.json.jackson2.JacksonFactory;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

public class HttpClientExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // Create a request factory using NetHttpTransport
            HttpRequestFactory requestFactory = new NetHttpTransport().createRequestFactory();
            // Define the URL for the POST request
            GenericUrl url = new GenericUrl("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts");
            // Create a map to hold JSON data
            Map<String, Object> jsonMap = new HashMap<>();
            jsonMap.put("title", "foo");
            jsonMap.put("body", "bar");
            jsonMap.put("userId", 1);
            // Create a JSON content using the map
            JsonFactory jsonFactory = new JacksonFactory();
            JsonHttpContent content = new JsonHttpContent(jsonFactory, jsonMap);
            // Build the POST request
            HttpRequest request = requestFactory.buildPostRequest(url, content);
            // Execute the request and get the response
            HttpResponse response = request.execute();
            // Parse the response as a String and print it
            System.out.println(response.parseAsString());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // Print the stack trace if an exception occurs
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequest;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequestFactory;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpResponse;
import com.google.api.client.http.javanet.NetHttpTransport;
import com.google.api.client.http.GenericUrl;
import com.google.api.client.http.json.JsonHttpContent;
import com.google.api.client.json.JsonFactory;
import com.google.api.client.json.jackson2.JacksonFactory;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

public class HttpClientExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // Create a request factory using NetHttpTransport
            HttpRequestFactory requestFactory = new NetHttpTransport().createRequestFactory();
            // Define the URL for the POST request
            GenericUrl url = new GenericUrl("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts");
            // Create a map to hold JSON data
            Map<String, Object> jsonMap = new HashMap<>();
            jsonMap.put("title", "foo");
            jsonMap.put("body", "bar");
            jsonMap.put("userId", 1);
            // Create a JSON content using the map
            JsonFactory jsonFactory = new JacksonFactory();
            JsonHttpContent content = new JsonHttpContent(jsonFactory, jsonMap);
            // Build the POST request
            HttpRequest request = requestFactory.buildPostRequest(url, content);
            // Execute the request and get the response
            HttpResponse response = request.execute();
            // Parse the response as a String and print it
            System.out.println(response.parseAsString());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // Print the stack trace if an exception occurs
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
JAVA

In this example, we create a JSON object and use JsonHttpContent to send it in a POST request. The response is then printed to the console.

Using Google HTTP Client Library with IronPDF

In this section, we will demonstrate how to use the Google HTTP Client Library to fetch HTML content from a web service and then use IronPDF to convert that HTML content into a PDF document.

Example: Fetching HTML and Converting to PDF

import com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequest;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequestFactory;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpResponse;
import com.google.api.client.http.javanet.NetHttpTransport;
import com.google.api.client.http.GenericUrl;
import com.ironsoftware.ironpdf.PdfDocument;

public class HtmlToPdfExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // Fetch HTML content using Google HTTP Client Library
            HttpRequestFactory requestFactory = new NetHttpTransport().createRequestFactory();
            GenericUrl url = new GenericUrl("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1");
            HttpRequest request = requestFactory.buildGetRequest(url);
            HttpResponse response = request.execute();
            String htmlContent = response.parseAsString();

            // Convert HTML content to PDF using IronPDF
            PdfDocument pdf = PdfDocument.renderHtmlAsPdf(htmlContent);
            pdf.saveAs("output.pdf");

            System.out.println("PDF created successfully!");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // Print the stack trace if an exception occurs
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequest;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequestFactory;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpResponse;
import com.google.api.client.http.javanet.NetHttpTransport;
import com.google.api.client.http.GenericUrl;
import com.ironsoftware.ironpdf.PdfDocument;

public class HtmlToPdfExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // Fetch HTML content using Google HTTP Client Library
            HttpRequestFactory requestFactory = new NetHttpTransport().createRequestFactory();
            GenericUrl url = new GenericUrl("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1");
            HttpRequest request = requestFactory.buildGetRequest(url);
            HttpResponse response = request.execute();
            String htmlContent = response.parseAsString();

            // Convert HTML content to PDF using IronPDF
            PdfDocument pdf = PdfDocument.renderHtmlAsPdf(htmlContent);
            pdf.saveAs("output.pdf");

            System.out.println("PDF created successfully!");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // Print the stack trace if an exception occurs
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
JAVA

In this example, we first fetch HTML content from a placeholder API using the Google HTTP Client Library. We then use IronPDF to convert the fetched HTML content into a PDF document and save it as output.pdf.
