Client
Parent client for calling the Google Cloud Bigtable API.
This is the base from which all interactions with the API occur.
In the hierarchy of API concepts
-
a
Client
owns anInstance
-
a
Table
owns aColumnFamily
google.cloud.bigtable.client.ADMIN_SCOPE( = ' https://www.googleapis.com/auth/bigtable.admin )
Scope for interacting with the Cluster Admin and Table Admin APIs.
class google.cloud.bigtable.client.Client(project=None, credentials=None, read_only=False, admin=False, client_info=None, client_options=None, admin_client_options=None, channel=None)
Bases: google.cloud.client.ClientWithProject
Client for interacting with Google Cloud Bigtable API.
NOTE: Since the Cloud Bigtable API requires the gRPC transport, no _http
argument is accepted by this class.
-
Parameters
-
project(
str
orunicode
) – (Optional) The ID of the project which owns the instances, tables and data. If not provided, will attempt to determine from the environment. -
credentials(
Credentials
) – (Optional) The OAuth2 Credentials to use for this client. If not passed, falls back to the default inferred from the environment. -
read_only( bool ) – (Optional) Boolean indicating if the data scope should be for reading only (or for writing as well). Defaults to
False
. -
admin( bool ) – (Optional) Boolean indicating if the client will be used to interact with the Instance Admin or Table Admin APIs. This requires the
ADMIN_SCOPE
. Defaults toFalse
. -
client_info– 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 library or partner tool. -
client_options(
ClientOptions
ordict
) – (Optional) Client options used to set user options on the client. API Endpoint should be set through client_options. -
admin_client_options(
ClientOptions
ordict
) – (Optional) Client options used to set user options on the client. API Endpoint for admin operations should be set through admin_client_options. -
( grpc.Channel )( channel ) – (Optional) DEPRECATED: A
Channel
instance through which to make calls. This argument is mutually exclusive withcredentials
; providing both will raise an exception. No longer used.

instance(instance_id, display_name=None, instance_type=None, labels=None)
Factory to create a instance associated with this client.
For example:
from google.cloud.bigtable import Client
from google.cloud.bigtable import enums
my_instance_id = "inst-my-" + UNIQUE_SUFFIX
my_cluster_id = "clus-my-" + UNIQUE_SUFFIX
location_id = "us-central1-f"
serve_nodes = 1
storage_type = enums. StorageType
.SSD
production = enums.Instance.Type.PRODUCTION
labels = {"prod-label": "prod-label"}
client = Client(admin=True)
instance = client
. instance
(my_instance_id, instance_type=production, labels=labels)
cluster = instance.cluster(
my_cluster_id,
location_id=location_id,
serve_nodes=serve_nodes,
default_storage_type=storage_type,
)
operation = instance.create(clusters=[cluster])
# We want to make sure the operation completes.
operation.result(timeout=100)
-
Parameters
-
instance_id( str ) – The ID of the instance.
-
display_name( str ) – (Optional) The display name for the instance in the Cloud Console UI. (Must be between 4 and 30 characters.) If this value is not set in the constructor, will fall back to the instance ID.
-
instance_type( int ) – (Optional) The type of the instance. Possible values are represented by the following constants:
google.cloud.bigtable.instance.InstanceType.PRODUCTION
.google.cloud.bigtable.instance.InstanceType.DEVELOPMENT
, Defaults togoogle.cloud.bigtable.instance.InstanceType.UNSPECIFIED
. -
labels( dict ) – (Optional) Labels are a flexible and lightweight mechanism for organizing cloud resources into groups that reflect a customer’s organizational needs and deployment strategies. They can be used to filter resources and aggregate metrics. Label keys must be between 1 and 63 characters long. Maximum 64 labels can be associated with a given resource. Label values must be between 0 and 63 characters long. Keys and values must both be under 128 bytes.

-
Return type
-
Returns
an instance owned by this client.
property instance_admin_client()
Getter for the gRPC stub used for the Table Admin API.
For example:
from google.cloud.bigtable import Client
client = Client(admin=True)
instance_admin_client = client
.instance_admin_client
-
Return type
bigtable_admin_pb2.BigtableInstanceAdmin
-
Returns
A BigtableInstanceAdmin instance.
-
Raises
ValueError
if the current client is not an admin client or if it has not beenstart()
-ed.
list_clusters()
List the clusters in the project.
For example:
from google.cloud.bigtable import Client
client = Client(admin=True)
(clusters_list, failed_locations_list) = client
. list_clusters
()
-
Return type
-
Returns
(clusters, failed_locations), where ‘clusters’ is list of
google.cloud.bigtable.instance.Cluster
, and ‘failed_locations’ is a list of strings representing locations which could not be resolved.

For example:
from google.cloud.bigtable import Client
client = Client(admin=True)
(instances_list, failed_locations_list) = client
. list_instances
()
-
Return type
-
Returns
(instances, failed_locations), where ‘instances’ is list of
google.cloud.bigtable.instance.Instance
, and ‘failed_locations’ is a list of locations which could not be resolved.
property project_path()
Project name to be used with Instance Admin API.
NOTE: This property will not change if project
does not, but the
return value is not cached.
