Get methods: GET HTTP verb

This rule enforces that all BatchGet RPCs use the GET HTTP verb, as mandated in AIP-231.

Details

This rule looks at any method beginning with BatchGet, and complains if the HTTP verb is anything other than GET. It does check additional bindings if they are present.

Examples

Incorrect code for this rule:

// Incorrect.
rpc BatchGetBooks(BatchGetBooksRequest) returns (BatchGetBooksResponse) {
  option (google.api.http) = {
    post: "/v1/{name=publishers/*}/books:batchGet"  // Should be `get:`.
  };
}

Correct code for this rule:

// Correct.
rpc BatchGetBooks(BatchGetBooksRequest) returns (BatchGetBooksResponse) {
  option (google.api.http) = {
    get: "/v1/{name=publishers/*}/books:batchGet"
  };
}

Disabling

If you need to violate this rule, use a leading comment above the method. Remember to also include an aip.dev/not-precedent comment explaining why.

// (-- api-linter: core::0231::http-method=disabled
//     aip.dev/not-precedent: We need to do this because reasons. --)
rpc BatchGetBooks(BatchGetBooksRequest) returns (BatchGetBooksResponse) {
  option (google.api.http) = {
    post: "/v1/{name=publishers/*}/books:batchGet"  // Should be `get:`.
  };
}

If you need to violate this rule for an entire file, place the comment at the top of the file.
