Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Cloud Data Loss Prevention v2 API class InspectContentRequest.
Request to search for potentially sensitive info in a ContentItem.
Template to use. Any configuration directly specified in
inspect_config will override those set in the template. Singular fields
that are set in this request will replace their corresponding fields in the
template. Repeated fields are appended. Singular sub-messages and groups
are recursively merged.
Projects scope, no location specified (defaults to global):
projects/{project_id}
The following example parent string specifies a parent project with the
identifier example-project, and specifies the europe-west3 location
for processing data:
