API](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/insights/inventory-reports), a service that creates and manages inventory reports to help you manage your object storage at scale.\n\nWhile this library is **GA** , please note that the 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/storageinsights/quickstart/` directory, which should give you a taste of the Storage Insights API C++ client library API. \n\n #include \"google/cloud/storageinsights/v1/storage_insights_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 storageinsights = ::google::cloud::storageinsights_v1;\n auto client = storageinsights::StorageInsightsClient(\n storageinsights::MakeStorageInsightsConnection());\n\n for (auto rc : client.ListReportConfigs(location.FullName())) {\n if (!rc) throw std::move(rc).status();\n std::cout \u003c\u003c rc-\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\nThe main class in this library is [`storageinsights_v1::StorageInsightsClient`](/cpp/docs/reference/storageinsights/latest/classgoogle_1_1cloud_1_1storageinsights__v1_1_1StorageInsightsClient). All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock [`storageinsights_v1::StorageInsightsClient`](/cpp/docs/reference/storageinsights/latest/classgoogle_1_1cloud_1_1storageinsights__v1_1_1StorageInsightsClient) when testing your application.\n\n### More Information\n\n- [Error Handling](https://cloud.google.com/cpp/docs/reference/common/latest/common-error-handling.html) - describes how the library reports errors.\n- [How to Override the Default Endpoint](/cpp/docs/reference/storageinsights/latest/storageinsights-override-endpoint) - describes how to override the default endpoint.\n- [How to Override the Authentication Credentials](/cpp/docs/reference/storageinsights/latest/storageinsights-override-authentication) - describes how to change the authentication credentials used by the library.\n- [Override Retry, Backoff, and Idempotency Policies](/cpp/docs/reference/storageinsights/latest/storageinsights-override-retry) - describes how to change the default retry policies.\n- [Environment Variables](/cpp/docs/reference/storageinsights/latest/storageinsights-env) - describes environment variables that can configure the behavior of the library."]]
