Instance Methods

answers()

Returns the answers Resource.

close()

Close httplib2 connections.

create(parent, body=None, x__xgafv=None)

Creates a Session. If the Session to create already exists, an ALREADY_EXISTS error is returned.

delete(name, x__xgafv=None)

Deletes a Session. If the Session to delete does not exist, a NOT_FOUND error is returned.

get(name, includeAnswerDetails=None, x__xgafv=None)

Gets a Session.

list(parent, filter=None, orderBy=None, pageSize=None, pageToken=None, x__xgafv=None)

Lists all Sessions by their parent DataStore.

list_next()

Retrieves the next page of results.

patch(name, body=None, updateMask=None, x__xgafv=None)

Updates a Session. Session action type cannot be changed. If the Session to update does not exist, a NOT_FOUND error is returned.
