Trying to write some python scripts to handle our infrastructure in GCP. I found that the Google Cloud Python SDK, does not easily convert into python using __dict__, and json.dumps() so I had to do some digging. It took a bit of time but found that we can use the Python proto library to handle conversion of the Google Cloud Objects to JSON. Here’s an example of listing GKE clusters.

from google.cloud import container_v1 import proto import json def list_gke_clusters(): """ Lists GKE clusters in the specified project. Args: project_id (str): Your GCP project ID. Returns: list: List of GKE clusters. """ project_id = 'myproject' client = container_v1.ClusterManagerClient() request = container_v1.ListClustersRequest( parent=f'projects/{project_id}/locations/-') # List clusters in the specified project response = client.list_clusters(request=request) return response.clusters if __name__ == "__main__": clusters = [] for cluster in list_gke_clusters(): if cluster.resource_labels['type'] == 'automation': clusters.append(json.loads(proto.Message.to_json(cluster))) for cluster in clusters: print(cluster['zone']) |
As you can see using proto.Message.to_json(object) allowed me to provide json parseable data. Just figured someone else can use this and I wanted to keep a note of it as the solution wasn’t something easily able to be found. Someone also found it works for other GCP objects.
