Java idiomatic client for Google Cloud Platform services.

• [Homepage] (https://googlecloudplatform.github.io/gcloud-java/)
• [API Documentation] (http://googlecloudplatform.github.io/gcloud-java/apidocs)

This client supports the following Google Cloud Platform services:

• [Google Cloud BigQuery] (#google-cloud-bigquery-alpha) (Alpha)

Most gcloud-java libraries require a project ID. There are multiple ways to specify this project ID.

1. When using gcloud-java libraries from within Compute/App Engine, there's no need to specify a project ID. It is automatically inferred from the production environment.
2. When using gcloud-java elsewhere, you can do one of the following:

• Supply the project ID when building the service options. For example, to use Datastore from a project with ID "PROJECT_ID", you can write:

Datastore datastore = DatastoreOptions.builder().projectId("PROJECT_ID").build().service(); 

• Specify the environment variable GCLOUD_PROJECT to be your desired project ID.
• Set the project ID using the Google Cloud SDK. To use the SDK, download the SDK if you haven't already, and set the project ID from the command line. For example:

gcloud config set project PROJECT_ID

gcloud-java determines the project ID from the following sources in the listed order, stopping once it finds a value:

1. Project ID supplied when building the service options
2. Project ID specified by the environment variable GCLOUD_PROJECT
3. App Engine project ID
4. Google Cloud SDK project ID
5. Compute Engine project ID

First, ensure that the necessary Google Cloud APIs are enabled for your project. To do this, follow the instructions on the authentication document shared by all the gcloud language libraries.

Next, choose a method for authenticating API requests from within your project:

1. When using gcloud-java libraries from within Compute/App Engine, no additional authentication steps are necessary.
2. When using gcloud-java libraries elsewhere, there are two options:

• Generate a JSON service account key. After downloading that key, you must do one of the following:
  • Define the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS to be the location of the key. For example:

  export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/my/key.json

  • Supply the JSON credentials file when building the service options. For example, this Storage object has the necessary permissions to interact with your Google Cloud Storage data:

  Storage storage = StorageOptions.builder()
    .authCredentials(AuthCredentials.createForJson(new FileInputStream("/path/to/my/key.json"))
    .build()
    .service();

• If running locally for development/testing, you can use use Google Cloud SDK. Download the SDK if you haven't already, then login using the SDK (gcloud auth login in command line). Be sure to set your project ID as described above.

gcloud-java looks for credentials in the following order, stopping once it finds credentials:

1. Credentials supplied when building the service options
2. App Engine credentials
3. Key file pointed to by the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable
4. Google Cloud SDK credentials
5. Compute Engine credentials

Follow the activation instructions to use the Google Cloud Datastore API with your project.

Here are two code snippets showing simple usage examples from within Compute/App Engine. Note that you must supply credentials and a project ID if running this snippet elsewhere.

The first snippet shows how to create a Datastore entity. Complete source code can be found at CreateEntity.java.

import com.google.gcloud.datastore.Datastore;
import com.google.gcloud.datastore.DatastoreOptions;
import com.google.gcloud.datastore.DateTime;
import com.google.gcloud.datastore.Entity;
import com.google.gcloud.datastore.Key;
import com.google.gcloud.datastore.KeyFactory;

Datastore datastore = DatastoreOptions.defaultInstance().service();
KeyFactory keyFactory = datastore.newKeyFactory().kind("keyKind");
Key key = keyFactory.newKey("keyName");
Entity entity = Entity.builder(key)
    .set("name", "John Doe")
    .set("age", 30)
    .set("access_time", DateTime.now())
    .build();
datastore.put(entity);

The second snippet shows how to update a Datastore entity if it exists. Complete source code can be found at UpdateEntity.java.

import com.google.gcloud.datastore.Datastore;
import com.google.gcloud.datastore.DatastoreOptions;
import com.google.gcloud.datastore.DateTime;
import com.google.gcloud.datastore.Entity;
import com.google.gcloud.datastore.Key;
import com.google.gcloud.datastore.KeyFactory;

Datastore datastore = DatastoreOptions.defaultInstance().service();
KeyFactory keyFactory = datastore.newKeyFactory().kind("keyKind");
Key key = keyFactory.newKey("keyName");
Entity entity = datastore.get(key);
if (entity != null) {
  System.out.println("Updating access_time for " + entity.getString("name"));
  entity = Entity.builder(entity)
      .set("access_time", DateTime.now())
      .build();
  datastore.update(entity);
}

Here is a code snippet showing a simple usage example. Note that you must supply Google SDK credentials for this service, not other forms of authentication listed in the Authentication section. Complete source code can be found at UpdateAndListProjects.java.

import com.google.gcloud.resourcemanager.ResourceManager;
import com.google.gcloud.resourcemanager.ResourceManagerOptions;

import java.util.Iterator;

ResourceManager resourceManager = ResourceManagerOptions.defaultInstance().service();
Project project = resourceManager.get("some-project-id"); // Use an existing project's ID
if (project != null) {
  Project newProject = project.toBuilder()
      .addLabel("launch-status", "in-development")
      .build()
      .replace();
  System.out.println("Updated the labels of project " + newProject.projectId()
      + " to be " + newProject.labels());
}
Iterator<Project> projectIterator = resourceManager.list().iterateAll();
System.out.println("Projects I can view:");
while (projectIterator.hasNext()) {
  System.out.println(projectIterator.next().projectId());
