Tencent Cloud Game Multimedia Engine (GME) Python SDK

3.1.42 verified Sat May 09 auth: no python

pip install tencentcloud-sdk-python-gme

Common errors

error ImportError: cannot import name 'GmeClient' from 'tencentcloud.gme' ↓

cause Incorrect import path; GmeClient is inside the versioned submodule.

fix

from tencentcloud.gme.v20180711 import gme_client; then use gme_client.GmeClient

error AttributeError: module 'tencentcloud.common.credential' has no attribute 'Credential' ↓

cause Importing credential incorrectly; use credential.Credential, not credential.

fix

from tencentcloud.common import credential; cred = credential.Credential(SecretId, SecretKey)

error TencentCloudSDKException: [TencentCloudSDKException] code: UnauthorizedOperation message: Invalid secretId ↓

cause SecretId or SecretKey is incorrect or not set.

fix

Set SECRET_ID and SECRET_KEY environment variables, or hardcode valid credentials for testing.

Warnings

breaking In version 3.0+, the API module version must be specified (e.g., gme.v20180711). Omitting the version causes import errors. ↓

fix Always use the full import path: tencentcloud.gme.v20180711.gme_client

deprecated The credential.Credential() constructor with three arguments (including region) is deprecated. Use Credential(SecretId, SecretKey) and pass region to client separately. ↓

fix cred = credential.Credential(SecretId, SecretKey); client = gme_client.GmeClient(cred, 'ap-guangzhou')

gotcha Many GME API response objects contain nested structures; calling to_json_string() fails if the object has unset optional fields. Use json.dumps with custom encoder to avoid AttributeError. ↓

fix Use json.dumps(resp, default=lambda o: o.__dict__) or convert to dict via vars() before serialization.

Imports

GmeClient

wrong

from tencentcloud.gme import GmeClient

correct

from tencentcloud.gme.v20180711 import gme_client as gme_client_module

GmeClient is in the module namespace, not directly in tencentcloud.gme.

DescribeApplicationDataRequest
wrong
```
from tencentcloud.gme import models
```
correct
```
from tencentcloud.gme.v20180711 import models
```
Versioned API (v20180711) must be included; older import is broken.

Quickstart

Initialize client and call DescribeApplicationData with credentials from environment variables.

from tencentcloud.common import credential
from tencentcloud.common.exception.tencent_cloud_sdk_exception import TencentCloudSDKException
from tencentcloud.gme.v20180711 import gme_client, models

SecretId = os.environ.get('SECRET_ID', '')
SecretKey = os.environ.get('SECRET_KEY', '')
cred = credential.Credential(SecretId, SecretKey)
client = gme_client.GmeClient(cred, "ap-guangzhou")
req = models.DescribeApplicationDataRequest()
req.AppId = "your_app_id"
try:
    resp = client.DescribeApplicationData(req)
    print(resp.to_json_string())
except TencentCloudSDKException as err:
    print(err)
