Python Client for Google Cloud Pub / Sub

========================================



|GA| |pypi| |versions| 



`Google Cloud Pub / Sub`_ is a fully-managed real-time messaging service that

allows you to send and receive messages between independent applications. You

can leverage Cloud Pub/Sub’s flexibility to decouple systems and components

hosted on Google Cloud Platform or elsewhere on the Internet. By building on

the same technology Google uses, Cloud Pub / Sub is designed to provide “at

least once” delivery at low latency with on-demand scalability to 1 million

messages per second (and beyond).



Publisher applications can send messages to a ``topic`` and other applications

can subscribe to that topic to receive the messages. By decoupling senders and

receivers, Google Cloud Pub/Sub allows developers to communicate between

independently written applications.

Quick Start

-----------



In order to use this library, you first need to go through the following steps:



1. `Select or create a Cloud Platform project.`_

2. `Enable billing for your project.`_

3. `Enable the Google Cloud Pub / Sub API.`_

4. `Setup Authentication.`_



.. _Select or create a Cloud Platform project.: https://console.cloud.google.com/project

.. _Enable billing for your project.: https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/modify-project#enable_billing_for_a_project

.. _Enable the Google Cloud Pub / Sub API.:  https://cloud.google.com/pubsub

.. _Setup Authentication.: https://googleapis.dev/python/google-api-core/latest/auth.html



Installation

~~~~~~~~~~~~



Install this library in a `virtualenv`_ using pip. `virtualenv`_ is a tool to

create isolated Python environments. The basic problem it addresses is one of

dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions.



With `virtualenv`_, it's possible to install this library without needing system

install permissions, and without clashing with the installed system

dependencies.



.. _`virtualenv`: https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/



Supported Python Versions

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Python >= 3.7



Deprecated Python Versions

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Python <= 3.6.



The last version of this library compatible with Python 2.7 is google-cloud-pubsub==1.7.0.



Mac/Linux

^^^^^^^^^



.. code-block:: console



    pip install virtualenv

    virtualenv 

    source /bin/activate

    /bin/pip install google-cloud-pubsub



Windows

^^^^^^^



.. code-block:: console



    pip install virtualenv

    virtualenv 

    \Scripts\activate

    \Scripts\pip.exe install google-cloud-pubsub



Example Usage

~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Publishing

^^^^^^^^^^



To publish data to Cloud Pub/Sub you must create a topic, and then publish

messages to it



.. code-block:: python



    import os

    from google.cloud import pubsub_v1



    publisher = pubsub_v1.PublisherClient()

    topic_name = 'projects/{project_id}/topics/{topic}'.format(

        project_id=os.getenv('GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT'),

        topic='MY_TOPIC_NAME',  # Set this to something appropriate.

    )

    publisher.create_topic(name=topic_name)

    future = publisher.publish(topic_name, b'My first message!', spam='eggs')

    future.result()



To learn more, consult the `publishing documentation`_.



.. _publishing documentation: https://cloud.google.com/python/docs/reference/pubsub/latest



Subscribing

^^^^^^^^^^^



To subscribe to data in Cloud Pub/Sub, you create a subscription based on

the topic, and subscribe to that, passing a callback function.



.. code-block:: python



    import os

    from google.cloud import pubsub_v1



    topic_name = 'projects/{project_id}/topics/{topic}'.format(

        project_id=os.getenv('GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT'),

        topic='MY_TOPIC_NAME',  # Set this to something appropriate.

    )



    subscription_name = 'projects/{project_id}/subscriptions/{sub}'.format(

        project_id=os.getenv('GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT'),

        sub='MY_SUBSCRIPTION_NAME',  # Set this to something appropriate.

    )



    def callback(message):

        print(message.data)

        message.ack()



    with pubsub_v1.SubscriberClient() as subscriber:

        subscriber.create_subscription(

            name=subscription_name, topic=topic_name)  

        future = subscriber.subscribe(subscription_name, callback)



The future returned by the call to ``subscriber.subscribe`` can be used to

block the current thread until a given condition obtains:



.. code-block:: python



    try:

        future.result()

    except KeyboardInterrupt:

        future.cancel()



It is also possible to pull messages in a synchronous (blocking) fashion. To

learn more about subscribing, consult the `subscriber documentation`_.



.. _subscriber documentation: https://cloud.google.com/python/docs/reference/pubsub/latest



Authentication

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^



It is possible to specify the authentication method to use with the Pub/Sub

clients. This can be done by providing an explicit `Credentials`_ instance. Support

for various authentication methods is available from the `google-auth`_ library.



For example, to use JSON Web Tokens, provide a `google.auth.jwt.Credentials`_ instance:



.. code-block:: python



    import json

    from google.auth import jwt



    service_account_info = json.load(open("service-account-info.json"))

    audience = "https://pubsub.googleapis.com/google.pubsub.v1.Subscriber"



    credentials = jwt.Credentials.from_service_account_info(

        service_account_info, audience=audience

    )



    subscriber = pubsub_v1.SubscriberClient(credentials=credentials)



    # The same for the publisher, except that the "audience" claim needs to be adjusted

    publisher_audience = "https://pubsub.googleapis.com/google.pubsub.v1.Publisher"

    credentials_pub = credentials.with_claims(audience=publisher_audience) 

    publisher = pubsub_v1.PublisherClient(credentials=credentials_pub)
