Storage Transfer API C++ Client Library

This directory contains an idiomatic C++ client library for the Storage Transfer API, a service to transfer data from external data sources to a Google Cloud Storage bucket or between Google Cloud Storage buckets.

While this library is GA, please note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.

Quickstart

The quickstart/ directory contains a minimal environment to get started using this client library in a larger project. The following "Hello World" program is used in this quickstart, and should give you a taste of this library.

For detailed instructions on how to build and install this library, see the top-level README.

#include "google/cloud/storagetransfer/v1/storage_transfer_client.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

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

  namespace storagetransfer = ::google::cloud::storagetransfer_v1;
  auto client = storagetransfer::StorageTransferServiceClient(
      storagetransfer::MakeStorageTransferServiceConnection());

  ::google::storagetransfer::v1::ListTransferJobsRequest request;
  request.set_filter(R"""({"projectId": ")""" + std::string{argv[1]} + "\"}");
  for (auto r : client.ListTransferJobs(request)) {
    if (!r) throw std::move(r).status();
    std::cout << r->DebugString() << "\n";
  }

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