Question

I have a problem configuring Endpoints API. Any code i use, from my own, to google's examples on site fail with the same traceback

My app.yaml is configured like the new Endpoints Migrating to 2.0 document states:

- url: /_ah/api/.*
  script: api.solaris.api_app

And main.py imports the API into the app:

api_app = endpoints.api_server([SolarisAPI,], restricted=False)

I use Google Cloud SDK with these versions:

Google Cloud SDK 132.0.0
app-engine-python 1.9.40
bq 2.0.24
bq-nix 2.0.24
core 2016.10.24
core-nix 2016.10.24
gcloud 
gsutil 4.22
gsutil-nix 4.22

Answer 1

To get rid of the "FrontendsNotSupported" you need to use a "B*" instance class.

The error "Exception: Fetching service config failed" should be gone if you follow the steps in https://cloud.google.com/endpoints/docs/frameworks/python/quickstart-frameworks-python. As already pointed out by Brad, the section "OpenAPI configuration" and the resulting environment variables are required to make the service configuration work.

Answer 2

Have you tried generating and uploading the OpenAPI configuration for the service? See the sections named "Generating the OpenAPI configuration file" and "Deploying the OpenAPI configuration file" in the python library documentation.

Note that in step 2 of the generation process, you may need to prepend python to the command (e.g python lib/endpoints/endpointscfg.py get_swagger_spec ...), since the PyPi package doesn't preserve executable file permissions right now.
