You mean Google is discontinuing the API? (They had an API? They removed XMPP federation and eventually support, if that's what you mean).

The libpurple/Hangups projects for chat clients is the work of reverse engineering the existing Hangouts protocol (which apparently heavily relies on protocol buffers).

Yes, they had an API which could control and customize Hangouts https://developers.google.com/+/hangouts/
