Public Certificate Authority API C++ Client Library

This directory contains an idiomatic C++ client library for the [Public Certificate Authority API][cloud-service-docs].

The Public Certificate Authority API may be used to create and manage ACME external account binding keys associated with Google Trust Services' publicly trusted certificate authority.

While this library is GA, please note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.

Quickstart

The quickstart/ directory contains a minimal environment to get started using this client library in a larger project. The following "Hello World" program is used in this quickstart, and should give you a taste of this library.

#include "google/cloud/publicca/v1/public_certificate_authority_client.h"
#include "google/cloud/location.h"
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
  if (argc != 3) {
    std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " project-id location-id\n";
    return 1;
  }
  auto const location = google::cloud::Location(argv[1], argv[2]);

  namespace publicca = ::google::cloud::publicca_v1;
  auto client = publicca::PublicCertificateAuthorityServiceClient(
      publicca::MakePublicCertificateAuthorityServiceConnection());

  auto key = client.CreateExternalAccountKey(location.FullName(), {});
  if (!key) throw std::move(key).status();
  std::cout << "Success!\n";
  return 0;
} catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) {
  std::cerr << "google::cloud::Status thrown: " << status << "\n";
  return 1;
}
