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})
