Class CloudBillingClient (1.6.1)

CloudBillingClient(*, credentials: Optional[google.auth.credentials.Credentials] = None, transport: Optional[Union[str, google.cloud.billing_v1.services.cloud_billing.transports.base.CloudBillingTransport]] = None, client_options: Optional[google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions] = None, client_info: google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo = <google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo object>)

Retrieves GCP Console billing accounts and associates them with projects.

Properties

transport

Returns the transport used by the client instance.

Returns

Type	Description
`CloudBillingTransport`	The transport used by the client instance.

Methods

CloudBillingClient

CloudBillingClient(*, credentials: Optional[google.auth.credentials.Credentials] = None, transport: Optional[Union[str, google.cloud.billing_v1.services.cloud_billing.transports.base.CloudBillingTransport]] = None, client_options: Optional[google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions] = None, client_info: google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo = <google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo object>)

Instantiates the cloud billing client.

Parameters

Name	Description
`credentials`	`Optional[google.auth.credentials.Credentials]` The authorization credentials to attach to requests. These credentials identify the application to the service; if none are specified, the client will attempt to ascertain the credentials from the environment.
`transport`	`Union[str, CloudBillingTransport]` The transport to use. If set to None, a transport is chosen automatically.
`client_options`	`google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions` Custom options for the client. It won't take effect if a `transport` instance is provided. (1) The `api_endpoint` property can be used to override the default endpoint provided by the client. GOOGLE_API_USE_MTLS_ENDPOINT environment variable can also be used to override the endpoint: "always" (always use the default mTLS endpoint), "never" (always use the default regular endpoint) and "auto" (auto switch to the default mTLS endpoint if client certificate is present, this is the default value). However, the `api_endpoint` property takes precedence if provided. (2) If GOOGLE_API_USE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE environment variable is "true", then the `client_cert_source` property can be used to provide client certificate for mutual TLS transport. If not provided, the default SSL client certificate will be used if present. If GOOGLE_API_USE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE is "false" or not set, no client certificate will be used.
`client_info`	`google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo` 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 client library.

Exceptions

Type	Description
`google.auth.exceptions.MutualTLSChannelError`	If mutual TLS transport creation failed for any reason.

exit

__exit__(type, value, traceback)

Releases underlying transport's resources.

Type Description

google.iam.v1.policy_pb2.Policy An Identity and Access Management (IAM) policy, which specifies access controls for Google Cloud resources. A Policy is a collection of bindings. A binding binds one or more members, or principals, to a single role. Principals can be user accounts, service accounts, Google groups, and domains (such as G Suite). A role is a named list of permissions; each role can be an IAM predefined role or a user-created custom role. For some types of Google Cloud resources, a binding can also specify a condition, which is a logical expression that allows access to a resource only if the expression evaluates to true. A condition can add constraints based on attributes of the request, the resource, or both. To learn which resources support conditions in their IAM policies, see the [IAM documentation](\ https://cloud.google.com/iam/help/conditions/resource-policies). **JSON example:** { "bindings": [ { "role": "roles/resourcemanager.organizationAdmin", "members": [ "user:mike@example.com", "group:admins@example.com", "domain:google.com", "serviceAccount:my-project-id@appspot.gserviceaccount.com" ] }, { "role": "roles/resourcemanager.organizationViewer", "members": [ "user:eve@example.com" ], "condition": { "title": "expirable access", "description": "Does not grant access after Sep 2020", "expression": "request.time < timestamp('2020-10-01t00:00:00.000z')",="" }="" }="" ],="" "etag":="" "bwwwja0yfja=", " version":="" 3="" }="" **yaml="" example:**="" bindings:="" -="" members:="" -="" user:\="" mike@example.com="" -="" group:\="" admins@example.com="" -="" domain:google.com="" -="" serviceaccount:\="" my-project-id@appspot.gserviceaccount.com="" role:="" roles/resourcemanager.organizationadmin="" -="" members:="" -="" user:\="" eve@example.com="" role:="" roles/resourcemanager.organizationviewer="" condition:="" title:="" expirable="" access="" description:="" does="" not="" grant="" access="" after="" sep="" 2020="" expression:="" request.time="">< timestamp('2020-10-01t00:00:00.000z')="" etag:="" bwwwja0yfja="version:" 3="" for="" a="" description="" of="" iam="" and="" its="" features,="" see="" the="" [iam="" documentation](\="">

update_project_billing_info

update_project_billing_info(request: Optional[Union[google.cloud.billing_v1.types.cloud_billing.UpdateProjectBillingInfoRequest, dict]] = None, *, name: Optional[str] = None, project_billing_info: Optional[google.cloud.billing_v1.types.cloud_billing.ProjectBillingInfo] = None, retry: Union[google.api_core.retry.Retry, google.api_core.gapic_v1.method._MethodDefault] = <_MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE: <object object>>, timeout: Optional[float] = None, metadata: Sequence[Tuple[str, str]] = ())

Sets or updates the billing account associated with a project. You specify the new billing account by setting the billing_account_name in the ProjectBillingInfo resource to the resource name of a billing account. Associating a project with an open billing account enables billing on the project and allows charges for resource usage. If the project already had a billing account, this method changes the billing account used for resource usage charges.

Note: Incurred charges that have not yet been reported in the transaction history of the GCP Console might be billed to the new billing account, even if the charge occurred before the new billing account was assigned to the project.

The current authenticated user must have ownership privileges for both the project <https://cloud.google.com/docs/permissions-overview#h.bgs0oxofvnoo> and the billing account <https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/billing-access>.

You can disable billing on the project by setting the billing_account_name field to empty. This action disassociates the current billing account from the project. Any billable activity of your in-use services will stop, and your application could stop functioning as expected. Any unbilled charges to date will be billed to the previously associated account. The current authenticated user must be either an owner of the project or an owner of the billing account for the project.

Note that associating a project with a closed billing account will have much the same effect as disabling billing on the project: any paid resources used by the project will be shut down. Thus, unless you wish to disable billing, you should always call this method with the name of an open billing account.

from google.cloud import billing_v1

def sample_update_project_billing_info():
    # Create a client
    client = billing_v1.CloudBillingClient()

    # Initialize request argument(s)
    request = billing_v1.UpdateProjectBillingInfoRequest(
        name="name_value",
    )

    # Make the request
    response = client.update_project_billing_info(request=request)

    # Handle the response
    print(response)

Parameters

Name	Description
`request`	`Union[google.cloud.billing_v1.types.UpdateProjectBillingInfoRequest, dict]` The request object. Request message for `UpdateProjectBillingInfo`.
`name`	`str` Required. The resource name of the project associated with the billing information that you want to update. For example, `projects/tokyo-rain-123`. This corresponds to the `name` field on the `request` instance; if `request` is provided, this should not be set.
`project_billing_info`	`google.cloud.billing_v1.types.ProjectBillingInfo` The new billing information for the project. Read-only fields are ignored; thus, you can leave empty all fields except `billing_account_name`. This corresponds to the `project_billing_info` field on the `request` instance; if `request` is provided, this should not be set.
`retry`	`google.api_core.retry.Retry` Designation of what errors, if any, should be retried.
`timeout`	`float` The timeout for this request.
`metadata`	`Sequence[Tuple[str, str]]` Strings which should be sent along with the request as metadata.

Returns

Type	Description
`google.cloud.billing_v1.types.ProjectBillingInfo`	Encapsulation of billing information for a GCP Console project. A project has at most one associated billing account at a time (but a billing account can be assigned to multiple projects).
