### build(serviceName, version, http=None, discoveryServiceUrl=DISCOVERY_URI, developerKey=None, model=None, requestBuilder=HttpRequest, credentials=None, cache_discovery=True, cache=None) | source code
    Construct a Resource for interacting with an API.

    Construct a Resource object for interacting with an API. The serviceName and
    version are the names from the Discovery service.

    Args:
      serviceName: string, name of the service.
      version: string, the version of the service.
      http: httplib2.Http, An instance of httplib2.Http or something that acts
        like it that HTTP requests will be made through.
      discoveryServiceUrl: string, a URI Template that points to the location of
        the discovery service. It should have two parameters {api} and
        {apiVersion} that when filled in produce an absolute URI to the discovery
        document for that service.
      developerKey: string, key obtained from
        https://code.google.com/apis/console.
      model: googleapiclient.Model, converts to and from the wire format.

        authentication.
      cache_discovery: Boolean, whether or not to cache the discovery doc.
      cache: googleapiclient.discovery_cache.base.CacheBase, an optional
        cache object for the discovery documents.

    Returns:
      A Resource object with methods for interacting with the service.
Decorators: `@positional(2)`

### _retrieve_discovery_doc(url, http, cache_discovery, cache=None) | source code
    Retrieves the discovery_doc from cache or the internet.

    Args:
      url: string, the URL of the discovery document.

### 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: object, credentials to be used for authentication.

    Returns:
      A Resource object with methods for interacting with the service.
Decorators: `@positional(1)`

### _cast(value, schema_type) | source code
    Convert value to a string based on JSON Schema type.

    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) | 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.

    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
    Updates parameters of API by adding 'media_body' 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) | 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.

    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.

### createMethod(methodName, methodDesc, rootDesc, schema) | source code
    Creates a method for attaching to a Resource.

    Args:
      methodName: string, name of the method to use.
      methodDesc: object, fragment of deserialized discovery document that
        describes the method.
      rootDesc: object, the entire deserialized discovery document.
      schema: object, mapping of schema names to schema descriptions.

### createNextMethod(methodName) | source code
    Creates any _next methods for attaching to a Resource.

    The _next methods allow for easy iteration through list() responses.

    Args:
