const topic = pubsub.topic(PUBSUB_TOPIC_NAME);
const publisher = topic.publisher();
const dataBuffer = Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(req.body));
publisher
.publish(dataBuffer)
.then(messageId => {
  console.log(`Message ${messageId} published.`);
  res.status(200).send('Message published.');
})
.catch(err => {
  console.error('ERROR:', err);
  res.status(500).send(err);
  return Promise.reject(err);
});

This error can be solved via installing the protos library:

pip install -U googleapis-common-protos

Note: The version of Pub/Sub that you are using is old. The current version is 0.39.0. Update: pip install -U google-cloud-pubsub
