Updates an existing client.

Scopes

You will need authorization for the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/authorized-buyers-marketplace scope to make a valid call.

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/authorized-buyers-marketplace. You can set the scope for this method like this: authorizedbuyersmarketplace1 --scope <scope> buyers clients-patch ...

Required Scalar Argument

  • <name> (string)
    • Output only. The resource name of the client. Format: buyers/{accountId}/clients/{clientAccountId}

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

Client:
  display-name: string
  name: string
  partner-client-id: string
  role: string
  seller-visible: boolean
  state: string

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

  • -r . display-name=takimata
    • Required. Display name shown to publishers. Must be unique for clients without partnerClientId specified. Maximum length of 255 characters is allowed.
  • name=amet.
    • Output only. The resource name of the client. Format: buyers/{accountId}/clients/{clientAccountId}
  • partner-client-id=duo
    • Arbitrary unique identifier provided by the buyer. This field can be used to associate a client with an identifier in the namespace of the buyer, lookup clients by that identifier and verify whether an Authorized Buyers account of the client already exists. If present, must be unique across all the clients.
  • role=ipsum
    • Required. The role assigned to the client. Each role implies a set of permissions granted to the client.
  • seller-visible=true
    • Whether the client will be visible to sellers.
  • state=lorem
    • Output only. The state of the client.

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.

Optional Method Properties

You may set the following properties to further configure the call. Please note that -p is followed by one or more key-value-pairs, and is called like this -p k1=v1 k2=v2 even though the listing below repeats the -p for completeness.

  • -p update-mask=string
    • List of fields to be updated. If empty or unspecified, the service will update all fields populated in the update request excluding the output only fields and primitive fields with default value. Note that explicit field mask is required in order to reset a primitive field back to its default value, for example, false for boolean fields, 0 for integer fields. A special field mask consisting of a single path "*" can be used to indicate full replacement(the equivalent of PUT method), updatable fields unset or unspecified in the input will be cleared or set to default value. Output only fields will be ignored regardless of the value of updateMask.

Optional General Properties

The following properties can configure any call, and are not specific to this method.

  • -p $-xgafv=string

    • V1 error format.

  • -p access-token=string

    • OAuth access token.

  • -p alt=string

    • Data format for response.

  • -p callback=string

    • JSONP

  • -p fields=string

    • Selector specifying which fields to include in a partial response.

  • -p key=string

    • API key. Your API key identifies your project and provides you with API access, quota, and reports. Required unless you provide an OAuth 2.0 token.

  • -p oauth-token=string

    • OAuth 2.0 token for the current user.

  • -p pretty-print=boolean

    • Returns response with indentations and line breaks.

  • -p quota-user=string

    • Available to use for quota purposes for server-side applications. Can be any arbitrary string assigned to a user, but should not exceed 40 characters.

  • -p upload-type=string

    • Legacy upload protocol for media (e.g. "media", "multipart").

  • -p upload-protocol=string

    • Upload protocol for media (e.g. "raw", "multipart").
