Google Workspace Changes

Google is deprecating and retiring the Realtime API.

Google announced the deprecation of the Realtime API in favor of newer cloud storage solutions like Google Cloud SQL, Firebase Realtime Database, and Google Cloud Firestore. Starting November 28, 2017, the API is no longer available for new projects. Existing applications will continue to work until December 11, 2018, when documents become read-only, and the API will be completely shut down on January 15, 2019, although a JSON export mechanism will remain available.
