build_from_document(service, base=None, future=None, http=None, developerKey=None, model=None, requestBuilder=HttpRequest, credentials=None)

source code 
Create a Resource for interacting with an API.

Same as `build()`, but constructs the Resource object from a discovery
document that is it given, as opposed to retrieving one over HTTP.

Args:
  service: string or object, the JSON discovery document describing the API.
    The value passed in may either be the JSON string or the deserialized
    JSON.
  base: string, base URI for all HTTP requests, usually the discovery URI.
    This parameter is no longer used as rootUrl and servicePath are included
    within the discovery document. (deprecated)
  future: string, discovery document with future capabilities (deprecated).
  http: httplib2.Http, An instance of httplib2.Http or something that acts
    like it that HTTP requests will be made through.
  developerKey: string, Key for controlling API usage, generated
    from the API Console.
  model: Model class instance that serializes and de-serializes requests and
    responses.
  requestBuilder: Takes an http request and packages it up to be executed.
  credentials: oauth2client.Credentials or
    google.auth.credentials.Credentials, credentials to be used for
    authentication.

Returns:
  A Resource object with methods for interacting with the service.

Decorators:

See http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zyp-json-schema-03 for more details on
JSON Schema.

Args:
  value: any, the value to convert
  schema_type: string, the type that value should be interpreted as

Returns:
  A string representation of 'value' based on the schema_type.

_media_size_to_long(maxSize)

source code 
Convert a string media size, such as 10GB or 3TB into an integer.

Args:
  maxSize: string, size as a string, such as 2MB or 7GB.

Returns:
  The size as an integer value.

_media_path_url_from_info(root_desc, path_url)

source code 
Creates an absolute media path URL.

Constructed using the API root URI and service path from the discovery
document and the relative path for the API method.

Args:
  root_desc: Dictionary; the entire original deserialized discovery document.
  path_url: String; the relative URL for the API method. Relative to the API
      root, which is specified in the discovery document.

Returns:
  String; the absolute URI for media upload for the API method.

_fix_up_parameters(method_desc, root_desc, http_method, schema)

source code 
Updates parameters of an API method with values specific to this library.

Specifically, adds whatever global parameters are specified by the API to the
parameters for the individual method. Also adds parameters which don't
appear in the discovery document, but are available to all discovery based
APIs (these are listed in STACK_QUERY_PARAMETERS).

SIDE EFFECTS: This updates the parameters dictionary object in the method
description.

Args:
  method_desc: Dictionary with metadata describing an API method. Value comes
      from the dictionary of methods stored in the 'methods' key in the
      deserialized discovery document.
  root_desc: Dictionary; the entire original deserialized discovery document.
  http_method: String; the HTTP method used to call the API method described
      in method_desc.
  schema: Object, mapping of schema names to schema descriptions.

Returns:
  The updated Dictionary stored in the 'parameters' key of the method
      description dictionary.

_fix_up_media_upload(method_desc, root_desc, path_url, parameters)

source code 
Adds 'media_body' and 'media_mime_type' parameters if supported by method.

SIDE EFFECTS: If the method supports media upload and has a required body,
sets body to be optional (required=False) instead. Also, if there is a
'mediaUpload' in the method description, adds 'media_upload' key to
parameters.

Args:
  method_desc: Dictionary with metadata describing an API method. Value comes
      from the dictionary of methods stored in the 'methods' key in the
      deserialized discovery document.
  root_desc: Dictionary; the entire original deserialized discovery document.
  path_url: String; the relative URL for the API method. Relative to the API
      root, which is specified in the discovery document.
  parameters: A dictionary describing method parameters for method described
      in method_desc.

Returns:
  Triple (accept, max_size, media_path_url) where:
    - accept is a list of strings representing what content types are
      accepted for media upload. Defaults to empty list if not in the
      discovery document.
    - max_size is a long representing the max size in bytes allowed for a
      media upload. Defaults to 0L if not in the discovery document.
    - media_path_url is a String; the absolute URI for media upload for the
      API method. Constructed using the API root URI and service path from
      the discovery document and the relative path for the API method. If
      media upload is not supported, this is None.

_fix_up_method_description(method_desc, root_desc, schema)

source code 
Updates a method description in a discovery document.

SIDE EFFECTS: Changes the parameters dictionary in the method description with
extra parameters which are used locally.

Args:
  method_desc: Dictionary with metadata describing an API method. Value comes
      from the dictionary of methods stored in the 'methods' key in the
      deserialized discovery document.
  root_desc: Dictionary; the entire original deserialized discovery document.
  schema: Object, mapping of schema names to schema descriptions.

Returns:
  Tuple (path_url, http_method, method_id, accept, max_size, media_path_url)
  where:
    - path_url is a String; the relative URL for the API method. Relative to
      the API root, which is specified in the discovery document.
    - http_method is a String; the HTTP method used to call the API method
      described in the method description.
    - method_id is a String; the name of the RPC method associated with the
      API method, and is in the method description in the 'id' key.
    - accept is a list of strings representing what content types are
      accepted for media upload. Defaults to empty list if not in the
      discovery document.
    - max_size is a long representing the max size in bytes allowed for a
      media upload. Defaults to 0L if not in the discovery document.
    - media_path_url is a String; the absolute URI for media upload for the
      API method. Constructed using the API root URI and service path from
      the discovery document and the relative path for the API method. If
      media upload is not supported, this is None.
