Introducing the Socket Python SDK
The initial version of the Socket Python SDK is now on PyPI, enabling developers to more easily interact with the Socket REST API in Python projects.
@google-cloud/common
Advanced tools
@google-cloud/common is a library that provides common functionality for Google Cloud Node.js client libraries. It includes utilities for logging, error handling, and making authenticated API requests.
Logging
The logging feature allows you to create and use a logger to log messages at different levels (info, error, etc.).
const { logger } = require('@google-cloud/common');
const log = logger();
log.info('This is an info message');
log.error('This is an error message');
Error Handling
The error handling feature provides a standardized way to create and handle API errors.
const { ApiError } = require('@google-cloud/common');
try {
throw new ApiError({ message: 'An error occurred', code: 500 });
} catch (err) {
console.error(err.message); // 'An error occurred'
console.error(err.code); // 500
}
Authenticated API Requests
This feature allows you to make authenticated API requests to Google Cloud services.
const { Service } = require('@google-cloud/common');
const service = new Service({
baseUrl: 'https://example.googleapis.com',
scopes: ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform']
});
service.request({
method: 'GET',
uri: '/v1/resource'
}, (err, response) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
} else {
console.log(response);
}
});
Axios is a promise-based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. It provides similar functionality for making HTTP requests but does not include built-in support for Google Cloud authentication.
Winston is a versatile logging library for Node.js. It offers more advanced logging features compared to @google-cloud/common but does not include other utilities like error handling or authenticated requests.
Request is a simplified HTTP client for Node.js. It provides similar functionality for making HTTP requests but is now deprecated in favor of more modern alternatives like axios.
