Client(project=<object object>, credentials=None, _http=None, client_info=None, client_options=None)

Client to bundle configuration needed for API requests.

Parameters
Name	Description
project	str or None the project which the client acts on behalf of. Will be passed when creating a topic. If not passed, falls back to the default inferred from the environment.
credentials	google.auth.credentials.Credentials (Optional) The OAuth2 Credentials to use for this client. If not passed (and if no _http object is passed), falls back to the default inferred from the environment.
_http	requests.Session (Optional) HTTP object to make requests. Can be any object that defines request() with the same interface as requests.Session.request. If not passed, an _http object is created that is bound to the credentials for the current object. This parameter should be considered private, and could change in the future.
client_info	google.api_core.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 library or partner tool.
client_options	google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions or dict (Optional) Client options used to set user options on the client. API Endpoint should be set through client_options.

Properties

current_batch

Currently-active batch.

Returns
Type	Description
Batch or NoneType (if no batch is active).	The batch at the top of the batch stack.

Methods

batch

batch()

Factory constructor for batch object.

Note: This will not make an HTTP request; it simply instantiates a batch object owned by this client.

Returns
Type	Description
Batch	The batch object created.

bucket

bucket(bucket_name, user_project=None)

Factory constructor for bucket object.

Note: This will not make an HTTP request; it simply instantiates a bucket object owned by this client.

Parameters
Name	Description
bucket_name	str The name of the bucket to be instantiated.
user_project	str (Optional) The project ID to be billed for API requests made via the bucket.

Returns
Type	Description
Bucket	The bucket object created.

create_anonymous_client

create_anonymous_client()

Factory: return client with anonymous credentials.

Note: Such a client has only limited access to "public" buckets: listing their contents and downloading their blobs.

Returns
Type	Description
Client	Instance w/ anonymous credentials and no project.

create_bucket

create_bucket(bucket_or_name, requester_pays=None, project=None, user_project=None, location=None, data_locations=None, predefined_acl=None, predefined_default_object_acl=None, timeout=60, retry=<google.api_core.retry.Retry object>)

Create a new bucket via a POST request.

See API reference docs and a code sample.

Parameters
Name	Description
bucket_or_name	Union[ Bucket, str, ] The bucket resource to pass or name to create.
requester_pays	bool DEPRECATED. Use Bucket().requester_pays instead. (Optional) Whether requester pays for API requests for this bucket and its blobs.
project	str (Optional) The project under which the bucket is to be created. If not passed, uses the project set on the client.
user_project	str (Optional) The project ID to be billed for API requests made via created bucket.
location	str (Optional) The location of the bucket. If not passed, the default location, US, will be used. If specifying a dual-region, data_locations should be set in conjunction. See: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/locations
data_locations	list of str (Optional) The list of regional locations of a custom dual-region bucket. Dual-regions require exactly 2 regional locations. See: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/locations
predefined_acl	str (Optional) Name of predefined ACL to apply to bucket. See: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/access-control/lists#predefined-acl
predefined_default_object_acl	str (Optional) Name of predefined ACL to apply to bucket's objects. See: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/access-control/lists#predefined-acl
timeout	Optional[Union[float, Tuple[float, float]]] The amount of time, in seconds, to wait for the server response. Can also be passed as a tuple (connect_timeout, read_timeout). See requests.Session.request documentation for details.
retry	Optional[Union[google.api_core.retry.Retry, google.cloud.storage.retry.ConditionalRetryPolicy]] How to retry the RPC. A None value will disable retries. A google.api_core.retry.Retry value will enable retries, and the object will define retriable response codes and errors and configure backoff and timeout options. A google.cloud.storage.retry.ConditionalRetryPolicy value wraps a Retry object and activates it only if certain conditions are met. This class exists to provide safe defaults for RPC calls that are not technically safe to retry normally (due to potential data duplication or other side-effects) but become safe to retry if a condition such as if_metageneration_match is set. See the retry.py source code and docstrings in this package (google.cloud.storage.retry) for information on retry types and how to configure them.

Exceptions
Type	Description
google.cloud.exceptions.Conflict	If the bucket already exists.

user_project	str (Optional) This parameter is currently ignored.
timeout	float or tuple (Optional) The amount of time, in seconds, to wait for the server response. See: configuring_timeouts
retry	google.api_core.retry.Retry or google.cloud.storage.retry.ConditionalRetryPolicy (Optional) How to retry the RPC. A None value will disable retries. A google.api_core.retry.Retry value will enable retries, and the object will define retriable response codes and errors and configure backoff and timeout options. A google.cloud.storage.retry.ConditionalRetryPolicy value wraps a Retry object and activates it only if certain conditions are met. This class exists to provide safe defaults for RPC calls that are not technically safe to retry normally (due to potential data duplication or other side-effects) but become safe to retry if a condition such as if_metageneration_match is set. See the retry.py source code and docstrings in this package (google.cloud.storage.retry) for information on retry types and how to configure them.

This class exists to provide safe defaults for RPC calls that are not technically safe to retry normally (due to potential data duplication or other side-effects) but become safe to retry if a condition such as if_metageneration_match is set. See the retry.py source code and docstrings in this package (google.cloud.storage.retry) for information on retry types and how to configure them. Media operations (downloads and uploads) do not support non-default predicates in a Retry object. The default will always be used. Other configuration changes for Retry objects such as delays and deadlines are respected.
