Distribution
Distribution
contains summary statistics for a population of values. It
optionally contains a histogram representing the distribution of those values
across a set of buckets.
The summary statistics are the count, mean, sum of the squared deviation from the mean, the minimum, and the maximum of the set of population of values. The histogram is based on a sequence of buckets and gives a count of values that fall into each bucket. The boundaries of the buckets are given either explicitly or by formulas for buckets of fixed or exponentially increasing widths.
Although it is not forbidden, it is generally a bad idea to include
non-finite values (infinities or NaNs) in the population of values, as this
will render the mean
and sum_of_squared_deviation
fields meaningless.
Protobuf type google.api.Distribution
Distribution.BucketOptions
BucketOptions
describes the bucket boundaries used to create a histogram
for the distribution. The buckets can be in a linear sequence, an
exponential sequence, or each bucket can be specified explicitly.
BucketOptions
does not include the number of values in each bucket.
A bucket has an inclusive lower bound and exclusive upper bound for the values that are counted for that bucket. The upper bound of a bucket must be strictly greater than the lower bound. The sequence of N buckets for a distribution consists of an underflow bucket (number 0), zero or more finite buckets (number 1 through N - 2) and an overflow bucket (number N - 1). The buckets are contiguous: the lower bound of bucket i (i > 0) is the same as the upper bound of bucket i - 1. The buckets span the whole range of finite values: lower bound of the underflow bucket is -infinity and the upper bound of the overflow bucket is +infinity. The finite buckets are so-called because both bounds are finite.

HttpBody
Message that represents an arbitrary HTTP body. It should only be used for payload formats that can't be represented as JSON, such as raw binary or an HTML page.
This message can be used both in streaming and non-streaming API methods in the request as well as the response.
It can be used as a top-level request field, which is convenient if one wants to extract parameters from either the URL or HTTP template into the request fields and also want access to the raw HTTP body.
Example:
message GetResourceRequest {
// A unique request id.
string request_id = 1;
// The raw HTTP body is bound to this field.

gRPC Transcoding
gRPC Transcoding is a feature for mapping between a gRPC method and one or more HTTP REST endpoints. It allows developers to build a single API service that supports both gRPC APIs and REST APIs. Many systems, including Google APIs, Cloud Endpoints, gRPC Gateway, and Envoy proxy support this feature and use it for large scale production services.
HttpRule
defines the schema of the gRPC/REST mapping. The mapping specifies
how different portions of the gRPC request message are mapped to the URL
path, URL query parameters, and HTTP request body. It also controls how the
gRPC response message is mapped to the HTTP response body. HttpRule
is
typically specified as an google.api.http
annotation on the gRPC method.
Each mapping specifies a URL path template and an HTTP method. The path template may refer to one or more fields in the gRPC request message, as long as each field is a non-repeated field with a primitive (non-message) type. The path template controls how fields of the request message are mapped to the URL path.
Example:
service Messaging {
rpc GetMessage(GetMessageRequest) returns (Message) {
option (google.api.http) = {
get: "/v1/{name=messages/*}"
};
}
}
message GetMessageRequest {
string name = 1; // Mapped to URL path.
}
message Message {
string text = 1; // The resource content.
}
This enables an HTTP REST to gRPC mapping as below:
HTTP | gRPC |
---|---|
GET /v1/messages/123456 | GetMessage(name: "messages/123456") |
Any fields in the request message which are not bound by the path template automatically become HTTP query parameters if there is no HTTP request body. For example:
service Messaging {
rpc GetMessage(GetMessageRequest) returns (Message) {
option (google.api.http) = {
get:"/v1/messages/{message_id}"
};
}
}
message GetMessageRequest {
message SubMessage {
string subfield = 1;
}
string message_id = 1; // Mapped to URL path.
int64 revision = 2; // Mapped to URL query parameter <code>revision</code>.
SubMessage sub = 3; // Mapped to URL query parameter <code>sub.subfield</code>.
}
This enables a HTTP JSON to RPC mapping as below:
HTTP | gRPC |
---|---|
GET /v1/messages/123456?revision=2&sub.subfield=foo |
GetMessage(message_id: "123456" revision: 2 sub: SubMessage(subfield:
"foo"))
Note that fields which are mapped to URL query parameters must have a
primitive type or a repeated primitive type or a non-repeated message type.
In the case of a repeated type, the parameter can be repeated in the URL
as ...?param=A¶m=B
. In the case of a message type, each field of the
message is mapped to a separate parameter, such as
...?foo.a=A&foo.b=B&foo.c=C
.
For HTTP methods that allow a request body, the body
field
specifies the mapping. Consider a REST update method on the
message resource collection:
service Messaging {
rpc UpdateMessage(UpdateMessageRequest) returns (Message) {
option (google.api.http) = {
patch: "/v1/messages/{message_id}"
body: "message"
};
}
}
message UpdateMessageRequest {
string message_id = 1; // mapped to the URL
Message message = 2; // mapped to the body
}
The following HTTP JSON to RPC mapping is enabled, where the representation of the JSON in the request body is determined by protos JSON encoding:
HTTP | gRPC |
---|---|
PATCH /v1/messages/123456 { "text": "Hi!" } | UpdateMessage(message_id: |
"123456" message { text: "Hi!" })
The special name *
can be used in the body mapping to define that
every field not bound by the path template should be mapped to the
request body. This enables the following alternative definition of
the update method:
service Messaging {
rpc UpdateMessage(Message) returns (Message) {
option (google.api.http) = {
patch: "/v1/messages/{message_id}"
body: "*"
};
}
}
message Message {
string message_id = 1;

}
The following HTTP JSON to RPC mapping is enabled:
HTTP | gRPC |
---|---|
PATCH /v1/messages/123456 { "text": "Hi!" } | UpdateMessage(message_id: |
"123456" text: "Hi!")
Note that when using in the body mapping, it is not possible to
have HTTP parameters, as all fields not bound by the path end in
the body. This makes this option more rarely used in practice when
defining REST APIs. The common usage of
is in custom methods
which don't use the URL at all for transferring data.
It is possible to define multiple HTTP methods for one RPC by using
the additional_bindings
option. Example:
service Messaging {
rpc GetMessage(GetMessageRequest) returns (Message) {
option (google.api.http) = {
get: "/v1/messages/{message_id}"
additional_bindings {
get: "/v1/users/{user_id}/messages/{message_id}"
}
};
}
}
message GetMessageRequest {
string message_id = 1;
string user_id = 2;
}
This enables the following two alternative HTTP JSON to RPC mappings:
HTTP | gRPC |
---|---|
GET /v1/messages/123456 | GetMessage(message_id: "123456") |
GET /v1/users/me/messages/123456 | GetMessage(user_id: "me" message_id: |
"123456")
Rules for HTTP mapping
Leaf request fields (recursive expansion nested messages in the request message) are classified into three categories:
- Fields referred by the path template. They are passed via the URL path.
- Fields referred by the HttpRule.body. They are passed via the HTTP request body.
- All other fields are passed via the URL query parameters, and the parameter name is the field path in the request message. A repeated field can be represented as multiple query parameters under the same name.
- If HttpRule.body is "*", there is no URL query parameter, all fields are passed via URL path and HTTP request body.
- If HttpRule.body is omitted, there is no HTTP request body, all fields are passed via URL path and URL query parameters.
Path template syntax
Template = "/" Segments [ Verb ] ; Segments = Segment { "/" Segment } ; Segment = "" | "*" | LITERAL | Variable ; Variable = "{" FieldPath [ "=" Segments ] "}" ; FieldPath = IDENT { "." IDENT } ; Verb = ":" LITERAL ;
The syntax
matches a single URL path segment. The syntax
*
matches zero or more URL path segments, which must be the last part of the URL path except theVerb
.The syntax
Variable
matches part of the URL path as specified by its template. A variable template must not contain other variables. If a variable matches a single path segment, its template may be omitted, e.g.{var}
is equivalent to{var=*}
.The syntax
LITERAL
matches literal text in the URL path. If theLITERAL
contains any reserved character, such characters should be percent-encoded before the matching.If a variable contains exactly one path segment, such as
"{var}"
or"{var=*}"
, when such a variable is expanded into a URL path on the client side, all characters except[-_.~0-9a-zA-Z]
are percent-encoded. The server side does the reverse decoding. Such variables show up in the Discovery Document as{var}
.If a variable contains multiple path segments, such as
"{var=foo/*}"
or"{var=**}"
, when such a variable is expanded into a URL path on the client side, all characters except[-_.~/0-9a-zA-Z]
are percent-encoded. The server side does the reverse decoding, except "%2F" and "%2f" are left unchanged. Such variables show up in the Discovery Document as{+var}
.Using gRPC API Service Configuration
gRPC API Service Configuration (service config) is a configuration language for configuring a gRPC service to become a user-facing product. The service config is simply the YAML representation of the
google.api.Service
proto message.As an alternative to annotating your proto file, you can configure gRPC transcoding in your service config YAML files. You do this by specifying a
HttpRule
that maps the gRPC method to a REST endpoint, achieving the same effect as the proto annotation. This can be particularly useful if you have a proto that is reused in multiple services. Note that any transcoding specified in the service config will override any matching transcoding configuration in the proto.Example:
http: rules:
Selects a gRPC method and applies HttpRule to it.
- selector: example.v1.Messaging.GetMessage get: /v1/messages/{message_id}/{sub.subfield}
Special notes
When gRPC Transcoding is used to map a gRPC to JSON REST endpoints, the proto to JSON conversion must follow the proto3 specification.
While the single segment variable follows the semantics of RFC 6570 Section 3.2.2 Simple String Expansion, the multi segment variable does not follow RFC 6570 Section 3.2.3 Reserved Expansion. The reason is that the Reserved Expansion does not expand special characters like
?
and#
, which would lead to invalid URLs. As the result, gRPC Transcoding uses a custom encoding for multi segment variables.The path variables must not refer to any repeated or mapped field, because client libraries are not capable of handling such variable expansion.
The path variables must not capture the leading "/" character. The reason is that the most common use case "{var}" does not capture the leading "/" character. For consistency, all path variables must share the same behavior.
Repeated message fields must not be mapped to URL query parameters, because no client library can support such complicated mapping.
If an API needs to use a JSON array for request or response body, it can map the request or response body to a repeated field. However, some gRPC Transcoding implementations may not support this feature.
Protobuf type google.api.HttpRule
HttpRule.Builder
gRPC Transcoding
gRPC Transcoding is a feature for mapping between a gRPC method and one or more HTTP REST endpoints. It allows developers to build a single API service that supports both gRPC APIs and REST APIs. Many systems, including Google APIs, Cloud Endpoints, gRPC Gateway, and Envoy proxy support this feature and use it for large scale production services.
HttpRule
defines the schema of the gRPC/REST mapping. The mapping specifies
how different portions of the gRPC request message are mapped to the URL
path, URL query parameters, and HTTP request body. It also controls how the
gRPC response message is mapped to the HTTP response body. HttpRule
is
typically specified as an google.api.http
annotation on the gRPC method.
Each mapping specifies a URL path template and an HTTP method. The path template may refer to one or more fields in the gRPC request message, as long as each field is a non-repeated field with a primitive (non-message) type. The path template controls how fields of the request message are mapped to the URL path.
Example:
service Messaging {
rpc GetMessage(GetMessageRequest) returns (Message) {
option (google.api.http) = {
get: "/v1/{name=messages/*}"
};
}
}
message GetMessageRequest {
string name = 1; // Mapped to URL path.
}
message Message {
string text = 1; // The resource content.
}
This enables an HTTP REST to gRPC mapping as below:
HTTP | gRPC |
---|---|
GET /v1/messages/123456 | GetMessage(name: "messages/123456") |
Any fields in the request message which are not bound by the path template automatically become HTTP query parameters if there is no HTTP request body. For example:
service Messaging {
rpc GetMessage(GetMessageRequest) returns (Message) {
option (google.api.http) = {
get:"/v1/messages/{message_id}"
};
}
}
message GetMessageRequest {
message SubMessage {
string subfield = 1;
}
string message_id = 1; // Mapped to URL path.
int64 revision = 2; // Mapped to URL query parameter <code>revision</code>.
SubMessage sub = 3; // Mapped to URL query parameter <code>sub.subfield</code>.
}
This enables a HTTP JSON to RPC mapping as below:
HTTP | gRPC |
---|---|
GET /v1/messages/123456?revision=2&sub.subfield=foo |
GetMessage(message_id: "123456" revision: 2 sub: SubMessage(subfield:
"foo"))
Note that fields which are mapped to URL query parameters must have a
primitive type or a repeated primitive type or a non-repeated message type.
In the case of a repeated type, the parameter can be repeated in the URL
as ...?param=A¶m=B
. In the case of a message type, each field of the
message is mapped to a separate parameter, such as
...?foo.a=A&foo.b=B&foo.c=C
.
For HTTP methods that allow a request body, the body
field
specifies the mapping. Consider a REST update method on the
message resource collection:
service Messaging {
rpc UpdateMessage(UpdateMessageRequest) returns (Message) {
option (google.api.http) = {
patch: "/v1/messages/{message_id}"
body: "message"
};
}
}
message UpdateMessageRequest {
string message_id = 1; // mapped to the URL
Message message = 2; // mapped to the body
}
The following HTTP JSON to RPC mapping is enabled, where the representation of the JSON in the request body is determined by protos JSON encoding:
HTTP | gRPC |
---|---|
PATCH /v1/messages/123456 { "text": "Hi!" } | UpdateMessage(message_id: |
"123456" message { text: "Hi!" })
The special name *
can be used in the body mapping to define that
every field not bound by the path template should be mapped to the
request body. This enables the following alternative definition of
the update method:
service Messaging {
rpc UpdateMessage(Message) returns (Message) {
option (google.api.http) = {
patch: "/v1/messages/{message_id}"
body: "*"
};
}
}
message Message {
string message_id = 1;
string text = 2;
}
The following HTTP JSON to RPC mapping is enabled:
HTTP | gRPC |
---|---|
PATCH /v1/messages/123456 { "text": "Hi!" } | UpdateMessage(message_id: |
"123456" text: "Hi!")
Note that when using in the body mapping, it is not possible to
have HTTP parameters, as all fields not bound by the path end in
the body. This makes this option more rarely used in practice when

get: "/v1/users/{user_id}/messages/{message_id}"
}
};
}
}
message GetMessageRequest {
string message_id = 1;
string user_id = 2;
}
This enables the following two alternative HTTP JSON to RPC mappings:
HTTP | gRPC |
---|---|
GET /v1/messages/123456 | GetMessage(message_id: "123456") |
GET /v1/users/me/messages/123456 | GetMessage(user_id: "me" message_id: |

OAuthRequirements
OAuth scopes are a way to define data and permissions on data. For example, there are scopes defined for "Read-only access to Google Calendar" and "Access to Cloud Platform". Users can consent to a scope for an application, giving it permission to access that data on their behalf.
OAuth scope specifications should be fairly coarse grained; a user will need to see and understand the text description of what your scope means.
In most cases: use one or at most two OAuth scopes for an entire family of products. If your product has multiple APIs, you should probably be sharing the OAuth scope across all of those APIs.
When you need finer grained OAuth consent screens: talk with your product management about how developers will use them in practice.
Please note that even though each of the canonical scopes is enough for a request to be accepted and passed to the backend, a request can still fail due to the backend requiring additional scopes or permissions.

A descriptor for defining project properties for a service. One service may have many consumer projects, and the service may want to behave differently depending on some properties on the project. For example, a project may be associated with a school, or a business, or a government agency, a business type property on the project may affect how a service responds to the client. This descriptor defines which properties are allowed to be set on a project.
Example:
project_properties:
properties:
- name: NO_WATERMARK
type: BOOL
description: Allows usage of the API without watermarks.
- name: EXTENDED_TILE_CACHE_PERIOD
type: INT64

Protobuf type google.api.ProjectProperties
Property
Defines project properties.
API services can define properties that can be assigned to consumer projects so that backends can perform response customization without having to make additional calls or maintain additional storage. For example, Maps API defines properties that controls map tile cache period, or whether to embed a watermark in a result.
These values can be set via API producer console. Only API providers can define and set these properties.

Quota
Quota configuration helps to achieve fairness and budgeting in service usage.
The metric based quota configuration works this way:
- The service configuration defines a set of metrics.
- For API calls, the quota.metric_rules maps methods to metrics with corresponding costs.
The quota.limits defines limits on the metrics, which will be used for quota checks at runtime.
An example quota configuration in yaml format:
quota: limits:
- name: apiWriteQpsPerProject metric: library.googleapis.com/write_calls unit: "1/min/{project}" # rate limit for consumer projects values: STANDARD: 10000
(The metric rules bind all methods to the read_calls metric,
except for the UpdateBook and DeleteBook methods. These two methods
are mapped to the write_calls metric, with the UpdateBook method
consuming at twice rate as the DeleteBook method.)
metric_rules:
- selector: "*"
metric_costs:
library.googleapis.com/read_calls: 1
- selector: google.example.library.v1.LibraryService.UpdateBook
metric_costs:
library.googleapis.com/write_calls: 2

ResourceDescriptor
A simple descriptor of a resource type.
ResourceDescriptor annotates a resource message (either by means of a protobuf annotation or use in the service config), and associates the resource's schema, the resource type, and the pattern of the resource name.
Example:
message Topic {
// Indicates this message defines a resource schema.
// Declares the resource type in the format of {service}/{kind}.
// For Kubernetes resources, the format is {api group}/{kind}.
option (google.api.resource) = {
type: "pubsub.googleapis.com/Topic"
pattern: "projects/{project}/topics/{topic}"
};
}
The ResourceDescriptor Yaml config will look like:
resources:
- type: "pubsub.googleapis.com/Topic"
pattern: "projects/{project}/topics/{topic}"
Sometimes, resources have multiple patterns, typically because they can live under multiple parents.
Example:
message LogEntry {
option (google.api.resource) = {
type: "logging.googleapis.com/LogEntry"
pattern: "projects/{project}/logs/{log}"
pattern: "folders/{folder}/logs/{log}"
pattern: "organizations/{organization}/logs/{log}"
pattern: "billingAccounts/{billing_account}/logs/{log}"
};
}
The ResourceDescriptor Yaml config will look like:
resources:
- type: 'logging.googleapis.com/LogEntry'
pattern: "projects/{project}/logs/{log}"
pattern: "folders/{folder}/logs/{log}"
pattern: "organizations/{organization}/logs/{log}"

RoutingRule
Specifies the routing information that should be sent along with the request in the form of routing header. NOTE: All service configuration rules follow the "last one wins" order.
The examples below will apply to an RPC which has the following request type:
Message Definition:
message Request {
// The name of the Table
// Values can be of the following formats:
// - <code>projects/<project>/tables/<table></code>
// - <code>projects/<project>/instances/<instance>/tables/<table></code>
// - <code>region/<region>/zones/<zone>/tables/<table></code>
string table_name = 1;
// This value specifies routing for replication.
// It can be in the following formats:
// - <code>profiles/<profile_id></code>
// - a legacy <code>profile_id</code> that can be any string
string app_profile_id = 2;
}
Example message:
{
table_name: projects/proj_foo/instances/instance_bar/table/table_baz,
app_profile_id: profiles/prof_qux
}
The routing header consists of one or multiple key-value pairs. Every key
and value must be percent-encoded, and joined together in the format of
key1=value1&key2=value2
.
In the examples below I am skipping the percent-encoding for readablity.
Example 1
Extracting a field from the request to put into the routing header unchanged, with the key equal to the field name.
annotation:
option (google.api.routing) = {
// Take the <code>app_profile_id</code>.
routing_parameters {
field: "app_profile_id"
}
};
result:
x-goog-request-params: app_profile_id=profiles/prof_qux
Example 2
Extracting a field from the request to put into the routing header unchanged, with the key different from the field name.
annotation:
option (google.api.routing) = {
// Take the <code>app_profile_id</code>, but name it <code>routing_id</code> in the header.
routing_parameters {
field: "app_profile_id"
path_template: "{routing_id=**}"
}
};
result:
x-goog-request-params: routing_id=profiles/prof_qux
Example 3
Extracting a field from the request to put into the routing header, while matching a path template syntax on the field's value.
NB: it is more useful to send nothing than to send garbage for the purpose of dynamic routing, since garbage pollutes cache. Thus the matching.
Sub-example 3a
The field matches the template.
annotation:
option (google.api.routing) = {
// Take the <code>table_name</code>, if it's well-formed (with project-based
// syntax).
routing_parameters {
field: "table_name"
path_template: "{table_name=projects/*/instances/*/**}"
}
};
result:
x-goog-request-params:
table_name=projects/proj_foo/instances/instance_bar/table/table_baz
Sub-example 3b
The field does not match the template.
annotation:
option (google.api.routing) = {
// Take the <code>table_name</code>, if it's well-formed (with region-based
// syntax).
routing_parameters {
field: "table_name"
path_template: "{table_name=regions/*/zones/*/**}"
}
};
result:
<no routing header will be sent>
Sub-example 3c
Multiple alternative conflictingly named path templates are specified. The one that matches is used to construct the header.
annotation:
option (google.api.routing) = {
// Take the <code>table_name</code>, if it's well-formed, whether
// using the region- or projects-based syntax.
routing_parameters {
field: "table_name"
path_template: "{table_name=regions/*/zones/*/**}"
}
routing_parameters {
field: "table_name"
path_template: "{table_name=projects/*/instances/*/**}"
}
};
result:
x-goog-request-params:
table_name=projects/proj_foo/instances/instance_bar/table/table_baz
Example 4
Extracting a single routing header key-value pair by matching a template syntax on (a part of) a single request field.
annotation:
option (google.api.routing) = {
// Take just the project id from the <code>table_name</code> field.
routing_parameters {
field: "table_name"
path_template: "{routing_id=projects/*}/**"
}
};
result:
x-goog-request-params: routing_id=projects/proj_foo
Example 5
Extracting a single routing header key-value pair by matching several conflictingly named path templates on (parts of) a single request field. The last template to match "wins" the conflict.
annotation:
option (google.api.routing) = {
// If the <code>table_name</code> does not have instances information,
// take just the project id for routing.
// Otherwise take project + instance.
routing_parameters {
field: "table_name"
path_template: "{routing_id=projects/*}/**"
}
routing_parameters {
field: "table_name"
path_template: "{routing_id=projects/*/instances/*}/**"
}
};
result:
x-goog-request-params:
routing_id=projects/proj_foo/instances/instance_bar
Example 6
Extracting multiple routing header key-value pairs by matching several non-conflicting path templates on (parts of) a single request field.
Sub-example 6a
Make the templates strict, so that if the table_name
does not
have an instance information, nothing is sent.
annotation:
option (google.api.routing) = {
// The routing code needs two keys instead of one composite
// but works only for the tables with the "project-instance" name
// syntax.
routing_parameters {
field: "table_name"
path_template: "{project_id=projects/*}/instances/*/**"
}
routing_parameters {
field: "table_name"
path_template: "projects/*/{instance_id=instances/*}/**"
}
};
result:
x-goog-request-params:
project_id=projects/proj_foo&instance_id=instances/instance_bar
Sub-example 6b
Make the templates loose, so that if the table_name
does not
have an instance information, just the project id part is sent.
annotation:
option (google.api.routing) = {
// The routing code wants two keys instead of one composite
// but will work with just the <code>project_id</code> for tables without
// an instance in the <code>table_name</code>.
routing_parameters {
field: "table_name"
path_template: "{project_id=projects/*}/**"
}
routing_parameters {
field: "table_name"
path_template: "projects/*/{instance_id=instances/*}/**"
}
};
result (is the same as 6a for our example message because it has the instance information):
x-goog-request-params:
project_id=projects/proj_foo&instance_id=instances/instance_bar
Example 7
Extracting multiple routing header key-value pairs by matching several path templates on multiple request fields.
NB: note that here there is no way to specify sending nothing if one of the
fields does not match its template. E.g. if the table_name
is in the wrong
format, the project_id
will not be sent, but the routing_id
will be.
The backend routing code has to be aware of that and be prepared to not
receive a full complement of keys if it expects multiple.
annotation:
option (google.api.routing) = {
// The routing needs both <code>project_id</code> and <code>routing_id</code>
// (from the <code>app_profile_id</code> field) for routing.

Service
Service
is the root object of Google API service configuration (service
config). It describes the basic information about a logical service,
such as the service name and the user-facing title, and delegates other
aspects to sub-sections. Each sub-section is either a proto message or a
repeated proto message that configures a specific aspect, such as auth.
For more information, see each proto message definition.
Example:
type: google.api.Service
name: calendar.googleapis.com
title: Google Calendar API
apis:
- name: google.calendar.v3.Calendar

SystemParameters
System parameter configuration
A system parameter is a special kind of parameter defined by the API system, not by an individual API. It is typically mapped to an HTTP header and/or a URL query parameter. This configuration specifies which methods change the names of the system parameters.

UsageRule
Usage configuration rules for the service.
NOTE: Under development.
Use this rule to configure unregistered calls for the service. Unregistered calls are calls that do not contain consumer project identity. (Example: calls that do not contain an API key). By default, API methods do not allow unregistered calls, and each method call must be identified by a consumer project identity. Use this rule to allow/disallow unregistered calls.
Example of an API that wants to allow unregistered calls for entire service.

Visibility
Visibility
restricts service consumer's access to service elements,
such as whether an application can call a visibility-restricted method.
The restriction is expressed by applying visibility labels on service
elements. The visibility labels are elsewhere linked to service consumers.
A service can define multiple visibility labels, but a service consumer should be granted at most one visibility label. Multiple visibility labels for a single service consumer are not supported.
If an element and all its parents have no visibility label, its visibility is unconditionally granted.
Example:
visibility:
rules:
- selector: google.calendar.Calendar.EnhancedSearch
restriction: PREVIEW
- selector: google.calendar.Calendar.Delegate
restriction: INTERNAL
Here, all methods are publicly visible except for the restricted methods EnhancedSearch and Delegate.

Enums
BackendRule.AuthenticationCase
BackendRule.PathTranslation
Path Translation specifies how to combine the backend address with the request path in order to produce the appropriate forwarding URL for the request.
Path Translation is applicable only to HTTP-based backends. Backends which
do not accept requests over HTTP/HTTPS should leave path_translation
unspecified.
Protobuf enum google.api.BackendRule.PathTranslation
ChangeType
Classifies set of possible modifications to an object in the service configuration.
Protobuf enum google.api.ChangeType
ClientLibraryDestination
To where should client libraries be published?
Protobuf enum google.api.ClientLibraryDestination
ClientLibraryOrganization
The organization for which the client libraries are being published. Affects the url where generated docs are published, etc.
Protobuf enum google.api.ClientLibraryOrganization
Distribution.BucketOptions.OptionsCase
ErrorReason
Defines the supported values for google.rpc.ErrorInfo.reason
for the
googleapis.com
error domain. This error domain is reserved for Service
Infrastructure.
For each error info of this domain, the metadata key "service" refers to the
logical identifier of an API service, such as "pubsub.googleapis.com". The
"consumer" refers to the entity that consumes an API Service. It typically is
a Google project that owns the client application or the server resource,
such as "projects/123". Other metadata keys are specific to each error
reason. For more information, see the definition of the specific error
reason.
Protobuf enum google.api.ErrorReason
FieldBehavior
An indicator of the behavior of a given field (for example, that a field is required in requests, or given as output but ignored as input). This does not change the behavior in protocol buffers itself; it only denotes the behavior and may affect how API tooling handles the field.
Note: This enum may receive new values in the future.
