Quickstart
Before you begin
- Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
- Enable billing for your project.
- Enable the Google Cloud Key Management Service API.
- Set up authentication with a service account so you can access theAPI from your local workstation.
Installing the client library
npm install @google-cloud/kmsUsing the client library

Supported Node.js Versions
Our client libraries follow theNode.js release schedule.Libraries are compatible with all currentactive andmaintenance versions ofNode.js.
Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, andcan be installed via npmdist-tags.The dist-tags follow the naming conventionlegacy-(version).
Legacy Node.js versions are supported as a best effort:
- Legacy versions will not be tested in continuous integration.
- Some security patches may not be able to be backported.
- Dependencies will not be kept up-to-date, and features will not be backported.
Legacy tags available
legacy-8: install client libraries from this dist-tag for versionscompatible with Node.js 8.
Versioning
This library followsSemantic Versioning.
This library is considered to beGeneral Availability (GA). This means itis stable; the code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible waysunless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or withan extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests againstGA librariesare addressed with the highest priority.
