Google Developers Knowledge V1 Client - Class DeveloperKnowledgeClient (0.1.0)

Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Developers Knowledge V1 Client class DeveloperKnowledgeClient.

Service Description: The Developer Knowledge API provides programmatic access to Google's public developer documentation, enabling you to integrate this knowledge base into your own applications and workflows.

The API is designed to be the canonical source for machine-readable access to Google's developer documentation.

A typical use case is to first use DeveloperKnowledge.SearchDocumentChunks to find relevant page URIs based on a query, and then use DeveloperKnowledge.GetDocument or DeveloperKnowledge.BatchGetDocuments to fetch the full content of the top results.

All document content is provided in Markdown format.

This class provides the ability to make remote calls to the backing service through method calls that map to API methods.

Many parameters require resource names to be formatted in a particular way. To assist with these names, this class includes a format method for each type of name, and additionally a parseName method to extract the individual identifiers contained within formatted names that are returned by the API.

Namespace

Google \ Developers \ Knowledge \ V1 \ Client

Methods

__construct

Constructor.

Parameters
Name Description
options array|Google\ApiCore\Options\ClientOptions

Optional. Options for configuring the service API wrapper.

↳ apiEndpoint string

The address of the API remote host. May optionally include the port, formatted as "

↳ credentials FetchAuthTokenInterface|CredentialsWrapper

This option should only be used with a pre-constructed Google\Auth\FetchAuthTokenInterface or Google\ApiCore\CredentialsWrapper object. Note that when one of these objects are provided, any settings in $credentialsConfig will be ignored. Important: If you are providing a path to a credentials file, or a decoded credentials file as a PHP array, this usage is now DEPRECATED. Providing an unvalidated credential configuration to Google APIs can compromise the security of your systems and data. It is recommended to create the credentials explicitly use Google\Auth\Credentials\ServiceAccountCredentials; use Google\Developers\Knowledge\V1\DeveloperKnowledgeClient; $creds = new ServiceAccountCredentials($scopes, $json); $options = new DeveloperKnowledgeClient(['credentials' => $creds]); https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/external/externally-sourced-credentials

↳ credentialsConfig array

Options used to configure credentials, including auth token caching, for the client. For a full list of supporting configuration options, see Google\ApiCore\CredentialsWrapper::build() .

↳ disableRetries bool

Determines whether or not retries defined by the client configuration should be disabled. Defaults to false.

↳ clientConfig string|array

Client method configuration, including retry settings. This option can be either a path to a JSON file, or a PHP array containing the decoded JSON data. By default this settings points to the default client config file, which is provided in the resources folder.

↳ transport string|TransportInterface

The transport used for executing network requests. May be either the string rest or grpc. Defaults to grpc if gRPC support is detected on the system. Advanced usage: Additionally, it is possible to pass in an already instantiated Google\ApiCore\Transport\TransportInterface object. Note that when this object is provided, any settings in $transportConfig, and any $apiEndpoint setting, will be ignored.

↳ transportConfig array

Configuration options that will be used to construct the transport. Options for each supported transport type should be passed in a key for that transport. For example: $transportConfig = [ 'grpc' => [...], 'rest' => [...], ]; See the Google\ApiCore\Transport\GrpcTransport::build() and Google\ApiCore\Transport\RestTransport::build() methods for the supported options.

↳ clientCertSource callable

A callable which returns the client cert as a string. This can be used to provide a certificate and private key to the transport layer for mTLS.

↳ logger false|LoggerInterface

A PSR-3 compliant logger. If set to false, logging is disabled, ignoring the 'GOOGLE_SDK_PHP_LOGGING' environment flag

↳ universeDomain string

The service domain for the client. Defaults to 'googleapis.com'.

batchGetDocuments

Retrieves multiple documents, each with its full Markdown content.

The async variant is DeveloperKnowledgeClient::batchGetDocumentsAsync() .
