Access Approval API C++ Client Library

An idiomatic C++ client library for the Access Approval API, a service for controlling access to data by Google personnel.

While this library is GA, please note Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.

Quickstart

The following shows the code that you'll run in the google/cloud/accessapproval/quickstart/ directory, which should give you a taste of the Access Approval API C++ client library API.

#include "google/cloud/accessapproval/v1/access_approval_client.h"
#include "google/cloud/project.h"
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
  if (argc != 2) {
    std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " project-id\n";
    return 1;
  }

  namespace accessapproval = ::google::cloud::accessapproval_v1;
  auto client = accessapproval::AccessApprovalClient(
      accessapproval::MakeAccessApprovalConnection());
  auto const project = google::cloud::Project(argv[1]);
  for (auto a : client.ListApprovalRequests(project.FullName())) {
    if (!a) throw std::move(a).status();
    std::cout << a->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 is accessapproval_v1::AccessApprovalClient. All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock accessapproval_v1::AccessApprovalClient when testing your application.

Retry, Backoff, and Idempotency Policies.

The library automatically retries requests that fail with transient errors, and uses exponential backoff to backoff between retries. Application developers can override the default policies.
