Migrating to the Storage Transfer Service Cloud Client Library

To ensure high quality and to be consistent with our other Cloud libraries, the documentation for Storage Transfer Service is now using the Cloud Client Libraries instead of the Google API Client Libraries. See Client libraries explained for more information about the two options.

The Google API Client Library continues to receive updates, but is no longer referenced in the documentation.

This guide covers the main differences as they apply to using Storage Transfer Service, and provides instructions on updating your clients when migrating to the Cloud Client Library.

Java

Updating dependencies

To switch to the new library, replace your dependency on google-api-services-storagetransfer with google-cloud-storage-transfer.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>google-cloud-storage-transfer</artifactId>
    <version>0.2.3</version>
</dependency>

If you are using Gradle without BOM, add this to your dependencies:

implementation 'com.google.cloud:google-cloud-storage-transfer:0.2.3'
<dependencyManagement>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId>
      <artifactId>libraries-bom</artifactId>
      <version>24.1.0</version>
      <type>pom</type>
      <scope>import</scope>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>google-cloud-storage-transfer</artifactId>
  </dependency>

For the most part, code can be pretty easily converted from the API Client Library to the Cloud Client Library. The following are some key differences between the two Java clients

Client instantiation

The Cloud Client Library reduces a lot of the boilerplate associated with client instantiation by handling it behind the scenes.

API Client Library

GoogleCredentials credential = GoogleCredentials.getApplicationDefault();
if (credential.createScopedRequired()) {
 credential = credential.createScoped(StoragetransferScopes.all());
}
Storagetransfer storageTransfer = new Storagetransfer.Builder(Utils.getDefaultTransport(),
   Utils.getDefaultJsonFactory(), new HttpCredentialsAdapter(credential))
   .build();

Cloud Client Library

StorageTransferServiceClient storageTransfer = StorageTransferServiceClient.create();

Builders for model classes

Model classes in the Cloud Client Library use builders instead of constructors.

API Client Library

TransferJob transferJob =
   new TransferJob()
       .setStatus("ENABLED");

Cloud Client Library

TransferJob transferJob =
   TransferJob.newBuilder()
       .setStatus(Status.ENABLED)
   .build();

List operations return iterables

List operations in the Cloud Client Library return simple iterables instead of the paginated results in the API Client Library.

API Client Library

public class StoragetransferExample {
  public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException, GeneralSecurityException {
    Storagetransfer storagetransferService = createStoragetransferService();
    Storagetransfer.TransferJobs.List request = storagetransferService.transferJobs().list();

    ListTransferJobsResponse response;
    do {
      response = request.execute();
      if (response.getTransferJobs() == null) {
        continue;
      }
      for (TransferJob transferJob : response.getTransferJobs()) {
        System.out.println(transferJob);
      }
      request.setPageToken(response.getNextPageToken());
    } while (response.getNextPageToken() != null);
  }

  public static Storagetransfer createStoragetransferService()
      throws IOException, GeneralSecurityException {
    HttpTransport httpTransport = GoogleNetHttpTransport.newTrustedTransport();
    JsonFactory jsonFactory = JacksonFactory.getDefaultInstance();

    GoogleCredential credential = GoogleCredential.getApplicationDefault();
    }

    return new Storagetransfer.Builder(httpTransport, jsonFactory, credential)
        .build();
  }
}

Cloud Client Library

public class StoragetransferExample {
 public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
   StorageTransferServiceClient storageTransfer = StorageTransferServiceClient.create();
   ListTransferJobsRequest request = ListTransferJobsRequest.newBuilder().build();
   for (TransferJob job : client.listTransferJobs(request).iterateAll()) {
     System.out.println(job);
   }
 }
}

Sample comparisons

Here, we include the old API Client Library samples, compared to their equivalent samples using the Cloud Client Library. If you used these samples before, you can use this comparison to understand how to move your code to the new Cloud Client Library.

Python

Updating dependencies

To use the new library, add a dependency on google-cloud-storage-transfer. This will be used instead of the discovery client from google-api-python-client.

pip install --upgrade google-cloud-storage-transfer

Client instantiation

Use the storage_transfer module instead of googleapiclient.discovery.

API Client Library

def create_transfer_client():
