Retrieves the next page of results.

### Method Details

`checkValidCreds(name, body=None, x__xgafv=None)`

    Returns true if valid credentials exist for the given data source and
    requesting user.
    Some data sources doesn't support service account, so we need to talk to
    them on behalf of the end user. This API just checks whether we have OAuth
    token for the particular user, which is a pre-requisite before user can
    create a transfer config.

    Args:
      name: string, Required. The data source in the form:
    `projects/{project_id}/dataSources/{data_source_id}` or
    `projects/{project_id}/locations/{location_id}/dataSources/{data_source_id}`. (required)
      body: object, The request body.
        The object takes the form of:

    { # A request to determine whether the user has valid credentials. This method
          # is used to limit the number of OAuth popups in the user interface. The
          # user id is inferred from the API call context.
          # If the data source has the Google+ authorization type, this method
          # returns false, as it cannot be determined whether the credentials are
          # already valid merely based on the user id.
      }

      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.
        Allowed values
          1 - v1 error format
          2 - v2 error format

    Returns:
      An object of the form:

        { # A response indicating whether the credentials exist and are valid.
        "hasValidCreds": True or False, # If set to `true`, the credentials exist and are valid.
      }

`get(name, x__xgafv=None)`

    Retrieves a supported data source and returns its settings,
    which can be used for UI rendering.

    Args:
      name: string, Required. The field will contain name of the resource requested, for example:
    `projects/{project_id}/dataSources/{data_source_id}` or
    `projects/{project_id}/locations/{location_id}/dataSources/{data_source_id}` (required)
      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.
        Allowed values
          1 - v1 error format
          2 - v2 error format

    Returns:
      An object of the form:
