Class GatewayServiceAsyncClient (0.8.11) 

GatewayServiceAsyncClient(*, credentials: typing.Optional[google.auth.credentials.Credentials] = None, transport: typing.Optional[typing.Union[str, google.cloud.gkeconnect.gateway_v1beta1.services.gateway_service.transports.base.GatewayServiceTransport, typing.Callable[[...], google.cloud.gkeconnect.gateway_v1beta1.services.gateway_service.transports.base.GatewayServiceTransport]]] = 'grpc_asyncio', client_options: typing.Optional[google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions] = None, client_info: google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo = <google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo object>)

Gateway service is a public API which works as a Kubernetes resource model proxy between end users and registered Kubernetes clusters. Each RPC in this service matches with an HTTP verb. End user will initiate kubectl commands against the Gateway service, and Gateway service will forward user requests to clusters.

Properties

api_endpoint

Return the API endpoint used by the client instance.

Returns
Type Description
str The API endpoint used by the client instance.

transport

Returns the transport used by the client instance.

Returns
Type Description
GatewayServiceTransport The transport used by the client instance.

universe_domain

Return the universe domain used by the client instance.

Returns
Type Description
str The universe domain used by the client instance.

Methods

GatewayServiceAsyncClient

GatewayServiceAsyncClient(*, credentials: typing.Optional[google.auth.credentials.Credentials] = None, transport: typing.Optional[typing.Union[str, google.cloud.gkeconnect.gateway_v1beta1.services.gateway_service.transports.base.GatewayServiceTransport, typing.Callable[[...], google.cloud.gkeconnect.gateway_v1beta1.services.gateway_service.transports.base.GatewayServiceTransport]]] = 'grpc_asyncio', client_options: typing.Optional[google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions] = None, client_info: google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo = <google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo object>)

Instantiates the gateway service async client.

Parameters
Name Description
credentials Optional[google.auth.credentials.Credentials]

The authorization credentials to attach to requests. These credentials identify the application to the service; if none are specified, the client will attempt to ascertain the credentials from the environment.
transport Optional[Union[str,GatewayServiceTransport,Callable[..., GatewayServiceTransport]]]

The transport to use, or a Callable that constructs and returns a new transport to use. If a Callable is given, it will be called with the same set of initialization arguments as used in the GatewayServiceTransport constructor. If set to None, a transport is chosen automatically.
client_options Optional[Union[google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions, dict]]

Custom options for the client. 1. The api_endpoint property can be used to override the default endpoint provided by the client when transport is not explicitly provided. Only if this property is not set and transport was not explicitly provided, the endpoint is determined by the GOOGLE_API_USE_MTLS_ENDPOINT environment variable, which have one of the following values: "always" (always use the default mTLS endpoint), "never" (always use the default regular endpoint) and "auto" (auto-switch to the default mTLS endpoint if client certificate is present; this is the default value). 2. If the GOOGLE_API_USE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE environment variable is "true", then the client_cert_source property can be used to provide a client certificate for mTLS transport. If not provided, the default SSL client certificate will be used if present. If GOOGLE_API_USE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE is "false" or not set, no client certificate will be used. 3. The universe_domain property can be used to override the default "googleapis.com" universe. Note that api_endpoint property still takes precedence; and universe_domain is currently not supported for mTLS.
client_info google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo

The client info used to send a user-agent string along with API requests. If None, then default info will be used. Generally, you only need to set this if you're developing your own client library.
Exceptions
Type Description
google.auth.exceptions.MutualTlsChannelError If mutual TLS transport creation failed for any reason.

common_billing_account_path

common_billing_account_path(billing_account: str) -> str

common_folder_path

common_folder_path(folder: str) -> str

Returns a fully-qualified folder string.

Returns a fully-qualified location string.

common_organization_path

common_organization_path(organization: str) -> str

Returns a fully-qualified organization string.

common_project_path

common_project_path(project: str) -> str

Returns a fully-qualified project string.

Parameters
Name Description
request Optional[Union[google.api.httpbody_pb2.HttpBody, dict]]

The request object. Message that represents an arbitrary HTTP body. It should only be used for payload formats that can't be represented as JSON, such as raw binary or an HTML page. This message can be used both in streaming and non-streaming API methods in the request as well as the response. It can be used as a top-level request field, which is convenient if one wants to extract parameters from either the URL or HTTP template into the request fields and also want access to the raw HTTP body. Example: :: message GetResourceRequest { // A unique request id. string request_id = 1; // The raw HTTP body is bound to this field. google.api.HttpBody http_body = 2; } service ResourceService { rpc GetResource(GetResourceRequest) returns (google.api.HttpBody); rpc UpdateResource(google.api.HttpBody) returns (google.protobuf.Empty); } Example with streaming methods: :: service CaldavService { rpc GetCalendar(stream google.api.HttpBody) returns (stream google.api.HttpBody); rpc UpdateCalendar(stream google.api.HttpBody) returns (stream google.api.HttpBody); } Use of this type only changes how the request and response bodies are handled, all other features will continue to work unchanged.
retry google.api_core.retry_async.AsyncRetry

Designation of what errors, if any, should be retried.
timeout float

The timeout for this request.
metadata Sequence[Tuple[str, str]]

Strings which should be sent along with the request as metadata.
Returns
