英文:
List all variable fonts from Google Fonts API?
问题
我需要获取通过Google Fonts API可用的所有可变字体的列表。
我可以从这个端点获取所有字体名称。有一些参数可以添加,但我认为其中没有可变字体过滤器:
https://www.googleapis.com/webfonts/v1/webfonts?key=API_KEY&sort=popularity
我不认为我可以在调用API后过滤结果。在这里,"Open Sans"是一个可变字体,但我在响应中看不到任何指示这一点的信息。
英文:
I need to get a list of all variable fonts available through the Google Fonts API.
I can get all the font names from this endpoint. There are some parameters you can add but I don't think that a variable font filter is among them:
https://www.googleapis.com/webfonts/v1/webfonts?key=API_KEY&sort=popularity
I don't think I can filter the results after making the API call. Here "Open Sans" is a variable font but I don't see anything to indicate this in the response.

有一个网站列出了所有的可变字体。在开发者控制台(F12)中,我看到它正在下载这个文件:
https://fonts.google.com/metadata/fonts
这个文件包含了所有的字体。如果一个字体的“axes”数组不为空,那么它肯定是一个可变字体。也许你需要检查其他属性名称(我对可变字体不是很熟悉)。
英文:
There is this site which lists all variable fonts. In the developer console (F12) I saw it downloading this file:
https://fonts.google.com/metadata/fonts
This file contains all fonts. If the "axes" array of a font is not empty then it's definitely a variable font. Maybe you have to check other property names (I am not that familiar with variable fonts).

开放API:添加能力参数“VF”
如果您使用开发者API,您还需要设置参数**capability=VF**以检索轴数据:
https://www.googleapis.com/webfonts/v1/webfonts?capability=VF&sort=style&key=${apiKey}
其他能力选项:
WOFF2:返回woff2字体文件URLCAPABILITY_UNSPECIFIED:返回ttf/truetype字体文件URL
您可以结合这些选项获取woff2可变字体URL或truetype:
https://www.googleapis.com/webfonts/v1/webfonts?capability=VF&capability=WOFF2&sort=style&key=${apiKey}
然而,这不会将列表过滤为仅可变字体。因此,您需要手动过滤项目数组。
(async () => {
    // 获取字体JSON
    let listObj = await (await fetch(dataAPIStatic)).json();
    // 过滤带有轴属性的项目
    let itemsVariable = listObj.items.filter(item => item.axes && item.axes.length);
    output.value = JSON.stringify(itemsVariable, null, ' ');
})();
从元数据JSON检索数据
如果您没有API密钥,您也可以从上述元数据URL https://fonts.google.com/metadata/fonts 获取所需数据。
但是,您无法直接通过JavaScript fetch检索数据,因为该URL不允许跨域访问。
作为一种解决方法,您可以在本地或CDN上托管自己的副本。
显然,这个JSON不会自动更新,所以您需要不时更新文件。
元数据JSON也具有不同的结构。
例如,轴的最小值和最大值存储如下:
元数据
{tag: 'wdth', min: 100.0, max: 200.0, defaultValue: 100.0}
API
{tag: 'wdth', start: 100, end: 200}
因此,您需要调整您的过滤脚本。
示例:加载元数据或API数据助手
let apiKey = "您的API密钥";
let dataAPIStatic = "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/herrstrietzel/fonthelpers@main/json/gfontsAPI.json";
let dataMetaStatic = "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/herrstrietzel/fonthelpers@main/json/gfontsMeta.json";
// 设置查询选项
let options = {
    // apiKey: apiKey,
    format: 'woff2',
    variableFonts: true,
    staticURL: dataAPIStatic
};
// 初始化
(async () => {
    let googleFontList = await getGoogleFontList(options);
    // 生成自动填充
    populateDatalist(datalistFonts, googleFontList);
    // 获取URL
    let googleFontUrls = await getGoogleFontUrls(googleFontList);
    showLinkList(cssUrls, googleFontUrls);
    // 过滤字体
    inputFonts.addEventListener('change', async e => {
        let family = e.currentTarget.value;
        let familyQuery = family.replaceAll(' ', '+');
        let item = googleFontList.filter(item => item.family === family);
        // 更新链接
        googleFontUrls = await getGoogleFontUrls(item);
        showLinkList(cssUrls, googleFontUrls);
    });
})();
英文:
Open API: add capability parameter "VF"
If you're using the open developer API, you also need to set the parameter capability=VF to retrieve axes data:
https://www.googleapis.com/webfonts/v1/webfonts?capability=VF&sort=style&key=${apiKey}
Other capability options:
WOFF2: returns woff2 font file URLsCAPABILITY_UNSPECIFIED: returns ttf/truetype font file URLs
You can combine these options to get either woff2 variable font URLs or truetype:
https://www.googleapis.com/webfonts/v1/webfonts?capability=VF&capability=WOFF2&sort=style&key=${apiKey}
However, this won't filter the list to variable fonts only. So you need to filter the items array manually.
(async ()=>{
// fetch font JSON
let listObj = await (await fetch(dataAPIStatic)).json();
// filter items with axes properties
let itemsVariable = listObj.items.filter(item => item.axes && item.axes.length);
output.value= JSON.stringify(itemsVariable, null, ' ');
})()
<!-- begin snippet: js hide: true console: false babel: false -->
<!-- language: lang-js -->
/**
 * static copy of
 * https://www.googleapis.com/webfonts/v1/webfonts?capability=VF&capability=CAPABILITY_UNSPECIFIED&sort=style&key=APIKEY
 */
let dataAPIStatic = "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/herrstrietzel/fonthelpers@main/json/gfontsAPI.json";
(async() => {
  // fetch font JSON
  let listObj = await (await fetch(dataAPIStatic)).json();
  // filter items with axes properties
  let itemsVariable = listObj.items.filter(item => item.axes && item.axes.length);
  output.value = JSON.stringify(itemsVariable, null, ' ');
})()
<!-- language: lang-css -->

  width: 100%;
  min-height: 75vh;
}
<!-- language: lang-html -->
<textarea id="output"></textarea>
<!-- end snippet -->
Retrieve data from meta JSON
If you don't have an API key you can also get the required data from the aforementioned meta URL https://fonts.google.com/metadata/fonts.
But you can't retrieve the data directly via javaScript fetch as the URL doesn't allow cross origin access.
As a workaround you can host your own copy locally or on a cdn.
Obviously, this JSON won't update automatically, so you need to update the file once in a while.
The meta JSON also has a different structure. 
E.g. axes min and max values are stored like this:
Meta
{tag: 'wdth', min: 100.0, max: 200.0, defaultValue: 100.0}
API
{tag: 'wdth', start: 100, end: 200}
So you need to adapt your filtering script.
Example: load meta or API data helper
<!-- begin snippet: js hide: true console: false babel: false -->
<!-- language: lang-js -->
let apiKey = "your APi key";
let dataAPIStatic = "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/herrstrietzel/fonthelpers@main/json/gfontsAPI.json";
let dataMetaStatic = "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/herrstrietzel/fonthelpers@main/json/gfontsMeta.json";
// set query options
let options = {
  //apiKey: apiKey,
  format: 'woff2',
  variableFonts: true,
  staticURL: dataAPIStatic
};
// init
(async() => {
  let googleFontList = await getGoogleFontList(options);
  // generate autofill
  populateDatalist(datalistFonts, googleFontList)
  // get URLs
  let googleFontUrls = await getGoogleFontUrls(googleFontList);
  showLinkList(cssUrls, googleFontUrls)
  // filter fonts
  inputFonts.addEventListener('change', async e => {
    let family = e.currentTarget.value;
    let familyQuery = family.replaceAll(' ', '+');
    let item = googleFontList.filter(item => item.family === family);
    // update links
    googleFontUrls = await getGoogleFontUrls(item);
    showLinkList(cssUrls, googleFontUrls)
  });
})();
