Container Analysis client libraries

This page shows how to get started with the Cloud Client Libraries for the Container Analysis API. Client libraries make it easier to access Google Cloud APIs from a supported language. Although you can use Google Cloud APIs directly by making raw requests to the server, client libraries provide simplifications that significantly reduce the amount of code you need to write.

Read more about the Cloud Client Libraries and the older Google API Client Libraries in Client libraries explained.

Install the client library

C++

See Setting up a C++ development environment for details about this client library's requirements and install dependencies.

Go

go get cloud.google.com/go/containeranalysis/apiv1

For more information, see Setting Up a Go Development Environment.

Java

If you are using Maven with a BOM, add the following to your pom.xml file:

<dependencyManagement>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId>
      <artifactId>libraries-bom</artifactId>
      <version>26.51.0</version>
      <type>pom</type>
      <scope>import</scope>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

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

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

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId>
  <artifactId>google-cloud-containeranalysis</artifactId>
  <version>2.55.0</version>
</dependency>

If you are using Gradle, add the following to your dependencies:

implementation 'com.google.cloud:google-cloud-containeranalysis:2.55.0'

If you are using sbt, add the following to your dependencies:

libraryDependencies += "com.google.cloud" % "google-cloud-containeranalysis" % "2.55.0"

If you're using Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ, or Eclipse, you can add client libraries to your project using the following IDE plugins:

The plugins provide additional functionality, such as key management for service accounts. Refer to each plugin's documentation for details.

For more information, see Setting Up a Java Development Environment.

Node.js

npm install @google-cloud/containeranalysis

For more information, see Setting Up a Node.js Development Environment.

Python

It is recommended to install this library in a virtualenv using pip. Virtualenv allows you to install the Python libraries in an isolated environment, preventing conflicts with the system dependencies.

Mac and Linux

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv <your-env>
source <your-env>/bin/activate
<your-env>/bin/pip install google-cloud-containeranalysis</your-env></your-env></your-env>

Windows

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv <your-env>
<your-env>\Scripts\activate
<your-env>\Scripts\pip.exe install google-cloud-containeranalysis</your-env></your-env></your-env>

For more information, see Setting Up a Python Development Environment.

Ruby

gem install google-cloud-container_analysis

For more information, see Setting Up a Ruby Development Environment.

Set up authentication

To authenticate calls to Google Cloud APIs, client libraries support Application Default Credentials (ADC); the libraries look for credentials in a set of defined locations and use those credentials to authenticate requests to the API. With ADC, you can make credentials available to your application in a variety of environments, such as local development or production, without needing to modify your application code.

For production environments, the way you set up ADC depends on the service and context. For more information, see Set up Application Default Credentials.

For a local development environment, you can set up ADC with the credentials that are associated with your Google Account:

Install the Google Cloud CLI, then initialize it by running the following command:
```
gcloud init
```
If you're using a local shell, then create local authentication credentials for your user account:
```
gcloud auth application-default login
```
You don't need to do this if you're using Cloud Shell.

A sign-in screen appears. After you sign in, your credentials are stored in the local credential file used by ADC.

Use the client library

The following example shows how to use the client library.

C++


#include "google/cloud/containeranalysis/v1/grafeas_client.h"
#include "google/cloud/project.h"
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
  if (argc != 2) {
    std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " project-id\n";
    return 1;
  }

  namespace containeranalysis = ::google::cloud::containeranalysis_v1;
  auto client = containeranalysis::GrafeasClient(
      containeranalysis::MakeGrafeasConnection());

  auto const project = google::cloud::Project(argv[1]);
  for (auto n : client.ListNotes(project.FullName(), /*filter=*/"")) {
    if (!n) throw std::move(n).status();
    std::cout << n->DebugString() << "\n";
  }

  return 0;
} catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) {
  std::cerr << "google::cloud::Status thrown: " << status << "\n";
  return 1;
}

Go


import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	containeranalysis "cloud.google.com/go/containeranalysis/apiv1"

// getOccurrence retrieves and prints a specified Occurrence from the server.
func getOccurrence(occurrenceID, projectID string) (*grafeaspb.Occurrence, error) {
	// occurrenceID := path.Base(occurrence.Name)
	ctx := context.Background()
	client, err := containeranalysis.NewClient(ctx)
	if err != nil {
		return nil, fmt.Errorf("NewClient: %w", err)
	}
	defer client.Close()

	req := &grafeaspb.GetOccurrenceRequest{
		Name: fmt.Sprintf("projects/%s/occurrences/%s", projectID, occurrenceID),
