This is a simple web-based example of calling the Google Compute Engine API in JavaScript. It uses the [Google API JavaScript Client][1].

NOTE: This README assumes that you have enabled access to the Google Compute Engine API via the Google API Console page.

1. Visit https://code.google.com/apis/console/?api=compute to register your application.

• Click on "API Access" in the left column
• If you have not generated any client IDs, click the button labeled "Create an OAuth2 client ID...", otherwise, either select a previously created client ID, or click "Create another client ID..."
• Give your application a name and click "Next"
• Select "Web Application" as the "Application type"
• Click "Create client ID"
• Click "Edit settings..." for your new client ID
• Under the redirect URI, enter the location of your JavaScript application
• Under the JavaScript origin, enter the location of your JavaScript application
• Click "Update"

2. Update the following in app.html (projectId, clientId, apiKey).

3. Load app.html on your web server, and visit the appropriate website in your web browser.
