com.google.api.consumer

A descriptor for defining project properties for a service. One service may have many consumer projects, and the service may want to behave differently depending on some properties on the project. For example, a project may be associated with a school, or a business, or a government agency, a business type property on the project may affect how a service responds to the client. This descriptor defines which properties are allowed to be set on a project.

Example:

project_properties: properties: - name: NO_WATERMARK type: BOOL description: Allows usage of the API without watermarks. - name: EXTENDED_TILE_CACHE_PERIOD type: INT64

Defines project properties.

API services can define properties that can be assigned to consumer projects so that backends can perform response customization without having to make additional calls or maintain additional storage. For example, Maps API defines properties that controls map tile cache period, or whether to embed a watermark in a result.

These values can be set via API producer console. Only API providers can define and set these properties.
