Ignoring a ProtoRPC message field via Cloud Endpoints

I've been working on an AppEngine-based project and I wanted to know if it's possible to ignore a ProtoRPC message field.

With the Java SDK, you can use @ApiResourceProperty to ignore a property (this means it's not contained within the response returned to the browser). However, I have not come across a way of doing this using the Python SDK.

Is there anything like this in the Python SDK?

Thanks, Adil

Nope, unfortunately not (at least not to my knowledge).

Two possible solutions depending on your use-case.

  1. Set field values to None before returning the message in your method. That way they will be skipped/not included in the JSON response.

  2. If your messages are hooked up to datastore models you can use the endpoints-proto-datastore library which allows you to use your ndb models directly in your API methods. Additionally it allows for request_fields and response_fields parameters in the method decorator which will limit the request or response to the specified subset of message/model fields. (internally it creates the necessary message classes for you)
