Web Risk API C++ Client Library

An idiomatic C++ client library for Web Risk, a service to detect malicious URLs on your website and in client applications.

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/webrisk/quickstart/ directory, which should give you a taste of the Web Risk API C++ client library API.

#include "google/cloud/webrisk/v1/web_risk_client.h"
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
  if (argc > 2) {
    std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0]
              << " [uri (default https://www.google.com)]\n";
    return 1;
  }

  namespace webrisk = ::google::cloud::webrisk_v1;
  auto client =
      webrisk::WebRiskServiceClient(webrisk::MakeWebRiskServiceConnection());

  auto const uri = std::string{argc == 2 ? argv[1] : "https://www.google.com/"};
  auto const threat_types = {google::cloud::webrisk::v1::MALWARE,
                             google::cloud::webrisk::v1::UNWANTED_SOFTWARE};
  auto response = client.SearchUris("https://www.google.com/", threat_types);
  if (!response) throw std::move(response).status();
  std::cout << response->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 webrisk_v1::WebRiskServiceClient. All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock webrisk_v1::WebRiskServiceClient 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.
