startUpload method

Future<UploadRef> startUpload(Empty request, { String? $fields, })

Creates an upload session to start uploading photo bytes.

The method uses the upload URL of the returned UploadRef to upload the bytes for the Photo. In addition to the photo requirements shown in https://support.google.com/maps/answer/7012050?ref_topic=6275604, the photo must meet the following requirements: * Photo Sphere XMP metadata must be included in the photo metadata. See https://developers.google.com/streetview/spherical-metadata for the required fields. * The pixel size of the photo must meet the size requirements listed in https://support.google.com/maps/answer/7012050?ref_topic=6275604, and the photo must be a full 360 horizontally. After the upload completes, the method uses UploadRef with CreatePhoto to create the Photo object entry.

request - The metadata request object.

Request parameters:

$fields - Selector specifying which fields to include in a partial response.

Completes with a UploadRef.

Completes with a commons.ApiRequestError if the API endpoint returned an error.

If the used http.Client completes with an error when making a REST call, this method will complete with the same error.

Implementation

async.Future<UploadRef> startUpload(
  Empty request, {
  core.String? $fields,
}) async {
  final body_ = convert.json.encode(request);
  final queryParams_ = <core.String, core.List<core.String>>{
    if ($fields != null) 'fields': [$fields],
  };

  const url_ = 'v1/photo:startUpload';

  final response_ = await _requester.request(
    url_,
    'POST',
    body: body_,
    queryParams: queryParams_,
  );
  return UploadRef.fromJson(response_ as core.Map<core.String, core.dynamic>);
}
