Docs are so out of date. #3835
Description

Hi @StephenHodgson, thank you for filing this issue. Could you please provide a link to the site where you are referencing the documentation?
@quirogas all the docs.
Most of the examples and samples have obsolete or deprecated usages that aren't anywhere close to what the latest version requires for usages and type definitions.
@StephenHodgson, thank you for clarifying.
internal issue: b/454039544
Reacted by Stephen HodgsonIs this library abandoned? Hundreds of GitHub Issues with no responses and documentation/samples that are years out of date. Is there an alternative library that should be used instead?
Examples:
- https://docs.cloud.google.com/nodejs/docs/reference has no information on using Business Profile APIs (https://developers.google.com/my-business/ref_overview) even though such functionality does exist in the library.
- Client library authentication documentation (https://docs.cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/client-libraries) contains bare minimum examples, is missing some authentication scenarios, and references code that is no longer valid.
- This library contains authentication classes and methods, but many of them are marked as deprecated and have comments that you should instead use the "google-auth-library" package, but samples and docs don't explain anything about that?
- The authentication section in the readme instructs to use deprecated functionality: https://docs.cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/client-libraries
I suggest Google use a portion of its $100 billion quarterly revenue to update its documentation.
