Move a space to a different section

This guide explains how to use the move method on the SectionItem resource of the Google Chat API to move an item (such as a space) from one section to another.

For more information, see Create and organize sections in Google Chat .

Prerequisites

Move a space to a different section

To move a space to a different section with user authentication , pass the following in your request:

• Specify the chat.users.sections authorization scope.
• Call the MoveSectionItem method.
• In the request body, specify the name of the section item to move and the targetSection :
  • Set name to the resource name of the section item (for example, users/me/sections/default-spaces/items/spaces/123456 ).
  • Set targetSection to the resource name of the section you want to move the item to.

The following example moves a space to a different section:

  from 
  
 google.cloud 
  
 import 
 chat_v1 
 def 
  
 move_section_item 
 (): 
 # Create a client 
 client 
 = 
 chat_v1 
 . 
 ChatServiceClient 
 () 
 # Initialize request 
 request 
 = 
 chat_v1 
 . 
 MoveSectionItemRequest 
 ( 
 name 
 = 
 "SECTION_ITEM_NAME" 
 , 
 target_section 
 = 
 "TARGET_SECTION_NAME" 
 ) 
 # Make the request 
 response 
 = 
 client 
 . 
 move_section_item 
 ( 
 request 
 = 
 request 
 ) 
 print 
 ( 
 response 
 ) 
 

The Chat API returns the updated instance of SectionItem .
