// 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.

	// 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: %w", 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: %w", err)

// Imports the Google Cloud client library.

Python

To authenticate to Security Command Center, set up Application Default Credentials. For more information, see Set up authentication for a local development environment.

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(f"Source: {source}")
