How to find all the methods available using the 'google/api_client' for ruby?

[Richard Burton]

Hi Sergio,

The answer you provided on Stack Overflow was incredibly helpful:

http://stackoverflow.com/a/11659852/474701

All I had to do was modify this section:

  call = {
    :api_method => @adsense.reports.generate,
    :parameters => {
      'startDate' => '2011-01-01',
      'endDate' => '2011-08-31',
      'dimension' => ['MONTH', 'CUSTOM_CHANNEL_NAME'],
      'metric' => ['EARNINGS', 'TOTAL_EARNINGS']
    }
  }

  call = {
    :api_method => @adsense.reports.generate,
    :parameters => {
      'startDate' => '2011-01-01',
      'endDate' => '2011-08-31',
      'dimension' => ['MONTH'],
      'metric' => ['EARNINGS']
    }
  }

That returned lots of helpful data. What is the best way for me to find out about all the other methods available when querying AdSense? Should I dig through the 'google/api_client' gem?

I want to reconcile what I have read here: https://developers.google.com/adsense/management/v1.1/reference/index with the ruby methods I need to use. I also want to understand all the metrics and dimensions available and how they interact. 

Any guidance would be much-appreciated.

Thanks,

Richard

I have tried using the logic outlined here: https://github.com/google/google-api-ruby-client

# Discover available methods
method_names = client.discovered_api('plus').to_h.keys

However, I can't seem to get it to return the list of methods.

Found this finally: https://developers.google.com/adsense/management/v1.1/reference/reports/generate

Sorry for being dim!

Hi Richard,

Sorry for the late reply, I was away on vacation :)

The client library generates the classes on the fly, so you may be unable to get the keys, as you were describing. The documentation link you mentioned is indeed the canonical resource for the API.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Cheers,

Sérgio
