How can I list tags en Google Data Catalog?

Question

I'm creating tag templates programmatically and it doesn't appear in the section "Tag Templates" (the creation of each tag template was successful because I can attach it in each table), but when I create those tag templates by hand, they appear as a list.

Btw I'm trying to list the tag templates that I created, with the following sentence:

tag_list = datacatalog.list_tags(parent=f"projects/{project_id}/locations/{location}")

but when I print it says

google.api_core.exceptions.InvalidArgument: 400 Malformed Data Catalog resource name projects/sybogames-analytics-dev/locations/us.

anyone knows why?

thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I'm unfamiliar with the Data Catalog service but, looking at the possible methods in APIs Explorer, I think (!?) you may need to terminate parent with /entrygroup/{entrygroup}.

There are 2 (!?) possible methods for list_tags:

1. entryGroups.entries.tag_list
2. entryGroup.tags.list

Both define parent similarly and require /entryGroups/{entrygroup}:

The resource can be an Entry or an EntryGroup (without /entries/{entries} at the end). It takes the form projects/{project}/locations/{location}/entryGroups/{entrygroup}/entries/{entries}.

You can use APIs Explorer to invoke either method to test it.

You can also use gcloud data-catalog tags list and, if you append --log-http to it, you'll be able to see exactly what underlying REST call is being made.
