Cloud Data Loss Prevention (DLP) API C++ Client Library
An idiomatic C++ client library for the Cloud Data Loss Prevention (DLP) API, a service that provides methods for detection, risk analysis, and de-identification of privacy-sensitive fragments in text, images, and Google Cloud Platform storage repositories.
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/dlp/quickstart/
directory, which should give you a taste of the Cloud Data Loss Prevention (DLP) API C++ client library API.
#include "google/cloud/dlp/v2/dlp_client.h"
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
if (argc != 3) {
std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " project-id location-id\n";
return 1;
}
namespace dlp = ::google::cloud::dlp_v2;
auto client = dlp::DlpServiceClient(dlp::MakeDlpServiceConnection());
auto const location =
"projects/" + std::string(argv[1]) + "/locations/" + std::string(argv[2]);
for (auto r : client.ListStoredInfoTypes(location)) {
if (!r) throw std::move(r).status();
std::cout << r->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 dlp_v2::DlpServiceClient
. All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock dlp_v2::DlpServiceClient
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.
