Code sample

Go

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"io"

	securitycenter "cloud.google.com/go/securitycenter/apiv1"
	securitycenterpb "google.golang.org/genproto/googleapis/cloud/securitycenter/v1"
)

// 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.
func getSource(w io.Writer, sourceName string) error {
	// sourceName := "organizations/111122222444/sources/1234"
	// 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: %v", err)
	}
	defer client.Close() // Closing the client safely cleans up background resources.

	req := &securitycenterpb.GetSourceRequest{
		Name: sourceName,
	}
	source, err := client.GetSource(ctx, req)
	if err != nil {
		return fmt.Errorf("GetSource: %v", err)
	}
	fmt.Fprintf(w, "Source: %v\n", source.Name)
	fmt.Fprintf(w, "Display Name: %v\n", source.DisplayName)
	fmt.Fprintf(w, "Description: %v\n", source.Description)
	return nil
}

Node.js

// Imports the Google Cloud client library.
const {SecurityCenterClient} = require('@google-cloud/security-center');

// 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
 */
// const sourceName = "organizations/111122222444/sources/1234";
async function getSource() {
  const [source] = await client.getSource({name: sourceName});
  console.log('Source: %j', source);
}

getSource();

Python

from google.cloud import securitycenter

client = securitycenter.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("Source: {}".format(source))
