Google-api-python-client: v3 discovery json document does not contain rootURL.

[lgardner-condati]

Environment details

• Python version: Python 3.7.3
• pip version: pip 18.1
• google-api-python-client version: 1.12.3

Steps to reproduce

1. Attempt to build for analytics v3 build("analytics", "v3", ...)

2. Receive key error in below stack trace where service does not contain rootURL.

   a. traced code back to REST call to: "https://www.googleapis.com/discovery/v1/apis/analytics/v3/rest"
   b. return from GET to that endpoint does not contain a rootURL entry.
   c. cooreponding google bugtracker ticket @ https://issuetracker.google.com/u/1/issues/170661562 opened by another person.

Code example

build("analytics", "v3", credentials = get_ga_creds(creds), cache_discovery = False)

Start having exactly the same problem. It started around 9pm UTC. v1 version of API does have rootUrl key.

[lucasslf]

Same here, we noticed around 8:53 PM UTC.

[busunkim96]

There's nothing to do on the library side unfortunately. One thing that may work is downloading the JSON, manually adding a rootURL, and using build_from_document. (This is assuming the discovery doc has no other issues).

from googleapiclient import discovery

with open("analytics_v3.json") as f:
    document = f.read()
service = build_from_document(document)

Please continue to +1 on the issue tracker. https://issuetracker.google.com/u/1/issues/170661562

Problems like this will be somewhat mitigated by moving to pre-downloaded discovery docs. #1063

I believe it is possible to get the base URL from the attribute baseUrl instead of composing it from rootUrl.
So, instead of

base = urljoin(service["rootUrl"], service["servicePath"])

you could have

base = service["baseUrl"]

We are experiencing the same issue as of 5:50 this morning AEST.

It's strange that the API no longer returns the rootUrl, however.

Indeed, and even more strange that it is happening only with the Analytics API.

Same problem

[martonowibowo]

it's happened to me also

[jasongfr]

This happened to me also this afternoon, after 5PM EST. It seems the default service discovery document returned by the discovery endpoint of the client library no longer returns the rootUrl property in the document.

I managed to work around it by copying the response of https://www.googleapis.com/discovery/v1/apis/analytics/v3/rest in a JSON file hosted on S3, in that file I added the rootUrl property that the client library expects like this:

"rootUrl" : "https://www.googleapis.com/"

I then overrode the discoveryServiceUrl endpoint on the build method to point to a different service discovery document hosted by me in a custom endpoint:

service = build('analytics', 'v3', http=http, discoveryServiceUrl="https://example.com/service-discovery-v1.json")

Of course, this is a temporary solution for me since I need to keep my software running, but I ideally Google will fix this soon or provide more guidance.

I hope this helps someone.

Same problem

[mukunduashok]

+1. Facing the same issue. Can someone prioritise this bug please ?

[rishi599]

same issue i am facing i changed my timezone from UTC to IST but still no luck

[wilbertdevries]

Same issue here. Confirmation and an ETA from Google would be appreciated.

[nitinsharath]

Looks like it's fixed now.
https://www.googleapis.com/discovery/v1/apis/analytics/v3/rest has 'rootUrl' again.

[martonowibowo]

Looks like it's fixed now.
https://www.googleapis.com/discovery/v1/apis/analytics/v3/rest has 'rootUrl' again.

yeah, it's back to normal

[christianbookpwood]

It's working for me now. I did have to add cache_discovery=0 to my call to 'build' in order to ignore the cached value. Not sure how to purge the cache.
