In some cases, you may need to override the default endpoint used by the client library. Use the google::cloud::EndpointOption when initializing the client library to change this default. For example, this will override the default endpoint for google::cloud::bigtable::Table:

Use the [`google::cloud::EndpointOption`](https://cloud.google.com/cpp/docs/reference/common/latest/structgoogle_1_1cloud_1_1EndpointOption.html) when initializing the client library to change this default. For example, this will override the default endpoint for [`google::cloud::bigtable::Table`](/cpp/docs/reference/bigtable/2.27.0/classgoogle_1_1cloud_1_1bigtable_1_1Table): \n\n namespace bigtable = ::google::cloud::bigtable;\n [](std::string const& project_id, std::string const& instance_id,\n std::string const& table_id) {\n auto options = google::cloud::Options{}.set\u003cgoogle::cloud::EndpointOption\u003e(\n \"private.googleapis.com\");\n auto resource = bigtable::TableResource(project_id, instance_id, table_id);\n return bigtable::Table(bigtable::MakeDataConnection(options), resource);\n }\n\nChanging the default endpoint for other `*Client` classes is very similar, as shown in these examples:\n\n- [`BigtableTableAdminClient`](/cpp/docs/reference/bigtable/2.27.0/BigtableTableAdminClient-set-endpoint-snippet)\n- [`InstanceTableAdminClient`](/cpp/docs/reference/bigtable/2.27.0/BigtableInstanceAdminClient-set-endpoint-snippet)"]]
