An idiomatic C++ client library for theNotebooks API. Use this API to programmatically manage notebooks in Google Cloud. Learn more about notebooks at theVertex AI Workbenchsite.
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/notebooks/quickstart/directory, which should give you a taste of the Notebooks API C++ client library API.
This library offers multiple*Clientclasses, which are listed below. Each one of these classes exposes all the RPCs for a service as member functions of the class. This library groups multiple services because they are part of the same product or are often used together. A typical example may be the administrative and data plane operations for a single product.
The library also has other classes that provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock the*Clientclasses when testing your application.

Use this API to programmatically manage notebooks in Google Cloud. Learn more about notebooks at the [Vertex AI Workbench](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai-workbench) site.\n\nWhile this library is **GA** , please note Google Cloud C++ client libraries do **not** follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).\n\n### Quickstart\n\nThe following shows the code that you'll run in the `google/cloud/notebooks/quickstart/` directory, which should give you a taste of the Notebooks API C++ client library API. \n\n #include \"google/cloud/notebooks/v2/notebook_client.h\"\n #include \"google/cloud/location.h\"\n #include \u003ciostream\u003e\n\n int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {\n if (argc != 3) {\n std::cerr \u003c\u003c \"Usage: \" \u003c\u003c argv[0] \u003c\u003c \" project-id location-id\\n\";\n return 1;\n }\n\n auto const location = google::cloud::Location(argv[1], argv[2]);\n\n namespace notebooks = ::google::cloud::notebooks_v2;\n auto client = notebooks::NotebookServiceClient(\n notebooks::MakeNotebookServiceConnection());\n\n for (auto i : client.ListInstances(location.FullName())) {\n if (!i) throw std::move(i).status();\n std::cout \u003c\u003c i-\u003eDebugString() \u003c\u003c \"\\n\";\n }\n\n return 0;\n } catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) {\n std::cerr \u003c\u003c \"google::cloud::Status thrown: \" \u003c\u003c status \u003c\u003c \"\\n\";\n return 1;\n }\n\n### Main classes\n\nThis library offers multiple `*Client` classes, which are listed below. Each one of these classes exposes all the RPCs for a service as member functions of the class. This library groups multiple services because they are part of the same product or are often used together.
