feature request - support of catalog api

[MrMichaelWill]

https://cloud.google.com/billing/v1/how-tos/catalog-api is not currently in https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/apis/

I assume that means it is not implemented as a part of the google-api-python-client ?

How hard would it be to implement it?

Is there a good code example in any of the existing implementations to learn how to do so?

The generated documentation isn't always up to date. This is showing up in the api explorer so it should work here:

cloudbilling = googleapiclient.discovery.build('cloudbilling', 'v1')
response = cloudbilling.services().list().execute()

[MrMichaelWill]

Not sure what you mean by not up to date. The cloud billing api is listed, I was talking about the catalog api instead, that would allow me to see prices for instances and services and such.

[MrMichaelWill]

Also your code snipped gets me

Traceback (most recent call last): File "test3b.py", line 5, in response = cloudbilling.services().list().execute() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/oauth2client/_helpers.py", line 133, in positional_wrapper return wrapped(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/googleapiclient/http.py", line 844, in execute raise HttpError(resp, content, uri=self.uri) googleapiclient.errors.HttpError: <HttpError 400 when requesting https://cloudbilling.googleapis.com/v1/services?alt=json returned "Request contains an invalid argument.">

This is with:

import googleapiclient.discovery cloudbilling = googleapiclient.discovery.build('cloudbilling', 'v1') response = cloudbilling.services().list().execute() print response

The "Catalog API" is just a sub-resource in the cloud billing API.

Looks like that API just needs an API key, so just be sure to pass one with the developerKey argument to build.

[MrMichaelWill]

Thank you Jon, appreciated.

I am wondering, since I can do the following for the compute api, can I do something similar for the cloudbilling api as well?

compute = googleapiclient.discovery.build('compute', 'v1')

response = compute.zones().list(project='my-super-project').execute()

This works without me hardcoding or providing a key explicitely as a parameter because of having issued a gcloud auth login saved the necessary access credentials and/or tokens in ~/.config/gcloud/

Do I need to manage a separate key or is there a shorter path to use the same authentication for the googleapiclient cloudbilling resource ?

Cheers, Michael Will

You can, it's just for some reason the cloud billing API doesn't expose its scopes, so you'll need to make sure the credentials have the cloud-platform scope:

credentials, _ = google.auth.default(scopes=['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform'])

.. = googleapiclient.discovery.build('cloudbilling', 'v1', credentials=credentials)

[MrMichaelWill]

Fails already earlier:

import google

import googleapiclient.discovery

credentials, _ = google.auth.default(scopes=[' https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform'])

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "test4b.py", line 3, in

credentials, _ = google.auth.default(scopes=['

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform'])

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'auth'

You'll need to install google-auth and google-auth-httplib2.

Done that, still not working:

import google import google.auth import googleapiclient.discovery

credentials, _ = google.auth.default(scopes=['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform']) cloudbilling = googleapiclient.discovery.build('cloudbilling', 'v1', credentials=credentials)

servicesList = cloudbilling.services().list().execute() print servicesList

Traceback (most recent call last): File "test3b.py", line 17, in servicesList = cloudbilling.services().list().execute() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/oauth2client/util.py", line 137, in positional_wrapper return wrapped(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/googleapiclient/http.py", line 844, in execute raise HttpError(resp, content, uri=self.uri) googleapiclient.errors.HttpError: <HttpError 400 when requesting https://cloudbilling.googleapis.com/v1/services?alt=json returned "Request contains an invalid argument.">

I read that googleapiclient is in maintenance mode and I should just use google-cloud instead, but unfortunately that one does not support the catalog api either yet.

So maybe I have to use the better documented rest interface with my own curl calls instead...
