An idiomatic C++ client library for theAPI Keys API, a service to manage the API keys associated with developer projects.
While this library isGA, please note Google Cloud C++ client libraries donotfollowSemantic Versioning.
Quickstart
The following shows the code that you'll run in thegoogle/cloud/apikeys/quickstart/directory, which should give you a taste of the API Keys API C++ client library API.
#include "google/cloud/apikeys/v2/api_keys_client.h"
#include "google/cloud/location.h"
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
if (argc != 2) {
std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " project-id\n";
return 1;
}
auto const location = google::cloud::Location(argv[1], "global");
namespace apikeys = ::google::cloud::apikeys_v2;
auto client = apikeys::ApiKeysClient(apikeys::MakeApiKeysConnection());
for (auto k : client.ListKeys(location.FullName())) {
if (!k) throw std::move(k).status();
std::cout << k->DebugString() << "\n";
}
return 0;
} catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) {
std::cerr << "google::cloud::Status thrown: " << status << "\n";
return 1;
}
Main classes
The main class in this library isapikeys_v2::ApiKeysClient. All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mockapikeys_v2::ApiKeysClientwhen testing your application.
