// getSource retrieves a source by its resource name and print it to w.
// sourceName is the full resource name of the source to be updated.

	// Instantiate a context and a security service client to make API calls.
	ctx := context.Background()
	client, err := securitycenter.NewClient(ctx)
	if err != nil {
		return fmt.Errorf("securitycenter.NewClient: %w", err)
	}
	defer client.Close() // Closing the client safely cleans up background resources.

	req := &securitycenterpb.GetSourceRequest{
		Name: sourceName,
	}
	source, err := client.GetSource(ctx, req)

	fmt.Fprintf(w, "Display Name: %v\n", source.DisplayName)
	fmt.Fprintf(w, "Description: %v\n", source.Description)
	return nil

    Source response = client.getSource(request.build());

    System.out.println("Source: " + response);
    return response;
  } catch (IOException e) {
    throw new RuntimeException("Couldn't create client.", e);

// Imports the Google Cloud client library.

// Creates a new client.
const client = new SecurityCenterClient();
// sourceName is the full resource name of the source to be retrieved.
/*
 * TODO(developer): Uncomment the following lines
 */

getSource();

Python

from google.cloud import securitycenter_v1

client = securitycenter_v1.SecurityCenterClient()

# 'source_name' is the resource path for a source that has been
# created previously (you can use list_sources to find a specific one).
# Its format is:
# source_name = "organizations/{organization_id}/sources/{source_id}"
# e.g.:
# source_name = "organizations/111122222444/sources/1234"
source = client.get_source(request={"name": source_name})

print(f"Source: {source}")
