You have 3 ways to send data to Google Analytics:

• Client-side tracking: such as web browser (gtag.js, analytics.js, AMP HTML), or mobile (iOS or Android)
• Data Import: these are bulk imports you can do either manually or through the management API (more specifically the v3 analytics uploadData endpoint)
• Server-side tracking: this is done via the measurement protocol which the official Google API client you mentioned doesn't provide an interface for. Instead you want to use a package such as this one (there may be others, just search on Github)

The code for sending a transaction using the aforementioned package would look as follows:

visitor
  .transaction({ti: "trans-12345", tr: 500, ts: 50, tt: 100, ta: "Partner 13"})
  .item({ip: 300, iq: 1, ic: "item-54321", in: "Item 54321", iv: "Blue"})
  .item({ip: 200, iq: 2, ic: "item-41325", in: "Item 41325", iv: "XXL"})
  .send()
