Error: "Cloud Resource Manager API has not been used in project" when listing organizations. Invalid error.

I'm trying to do the simple task of listing an org.
With gcloud I can do
gcloud organizations list

client.search_organizations()

_InactiveRpcError: <_InactiveRpcError of RPC that terminated with:

This does not seem to be a valid error as the same credentials and project are able to list the organizations with gcloud.

Also, Developers with the new SDK will expect similar functionality to gcloud since it is written in python. The clients should support the same global options as the gcloud command. The clients to not accept "project" the way all gcloud commands do.

Also, the number of examples for the 100+ repos is super small. I found a total of one page with a real example. Each readme for each repo should have real examples, not a codegen non example with only pip install instructions.
This was hard to find. https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/tutorials/python-guide

Hi @kbroughton,

How are you authenticating to the library? If it is with different set of credentials than the ones used for gcloud, you might see different results. To use your user credentials, run gcloud auth application-default login before running the library code.

https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/best-practices-applications has a decision tree for authenticating to Google Cloud APIs.

f you're running the code with a different set of credentials, make sure they have the resourcemanager.organization.get permission. https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/permissions-reference shows a list of roles that grant permission resourcemanager.organizations.get.

Is the project listed in the error https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com/overview?project=647295011111 one you own?

Regarding samples, we we are actively working on adding some basic auto-generated snippets to all the libraries for better coverage.

Many of the more commonly used libraries already have handwritten samples. These are published to cloud.google.com. You can follow the README link to "Product Documentation" to reach the cloud.google.com docs for an API. For example: https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs. You can also search for samples through https://cloud.google.com/docs/samples.

I'm going to close this issue as obsolete as a response was provided in #129 (comment). The repository also has autogenerated samples here.
