pollen API not available

[MicZet]

Thanks for stopping by to let us know something could be better!

Environment details

• OS type and version: Ubuntu 22 (but any in fact)
• Python version: python --version 3.11.2
• pip version: pip --version pip 23.0.1
• google-api-python-client version: pip show google-api-python-client 2.133.0

Steps to reproduce

1. execute example script (pasted below)

Code example

from googleapiclient.discovery import build

api_service_name = "pollen"
api_version = "v1"
endpoint = build(api_service_name, api_version, developerKey=api_key)
print(endpoint) # here already error, rest not even executed


lat = {
    "latitude": 11.7898095,
    "longitude": 13.0238652,
}
metadata = {
    "location": lat,
    "days": 5,
}
request = endpoint.forecast().lookup(
    body=metadata
)

response = request.execute()

Stack trace

Looking at https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/pollen/reference/rest and comparing to other endpoints - attached script should work but unfortunately it isnt (error attached)
looks like library doesn't support it?!

Hi @MicZet, Thanks for reporting this issue.

The request fails because it's unable to find the pollen API in the cached directory: discovery cache.

As a workaround, you should be able to fetch the discovery document directly by setting static_discovery=False in the following way:

 service = build('pollen', version="v1", static_discovery=False)

This issue should be fixed once the artifacts are updated by the following PR #2419 and explicitly setting static_discovery=False won't be required once the discovery document for the API is available in the cached directory.

Thanks a lot @ohmayr
