# Firebase Rules API . projects . releases

## Instance Methods

Close httplib2 connections.

Create a `Release`. Release names should reflect the developer's deployment practices. For example, the release name may include the environment name, application name, application version, or any other name meaningful to the developer. Once a `Release` refers to a `Ruleset`, the rules can be enforced by Firebase Rules-enabled services. More than one `Release` may be 'live' concurrently. Consider the following three `Release` names for `projects/foo` and the `Ruleset` to which they refer. Release Name -> Ruleset Name * projects/foo/releases/prod -> projects/foo/rulesets/uuid123 * projects/foo/releases/prod/beta -> projects/foo/rulesets/uuid123 * projects/foo/releases/prod/v23 -> projects/foo/rulesets/uuid456 The relationships reflect a `Ruleset` rollout in progress. The `prod` and `prod/beta` releases refer to the same `Ruleset`. However, `prod/v23` refers to a new `Ruleset`. The `Ruleset` reference for a `Release` may be updated using the UpdateRelease method.

Delete a `Release` by resource name.

Get a `Release` by name.

Get the `Release` executable to use when enforcing rules.

List the `Release` values for a project. This list may optionally be filtered by `Release` name, `Ruleset` name, `TestSuite` name, or any combination thereof.

Retrieves the next page of results.

Update a `Release` via PATCH. Only updates to `ruleset_name` will be honored. `Release` rename is not supported. To create a `Release` use the CreateRelease method.

`create(name, body=None, x__xgafv=None)`

    Create a `Release`. Release names should reflect the developer's deployment practices. For example, the release name may include the environment name, application name, application version, or any other name meaningful to the developer. Once a `Release` refers to a `Ruleset`, the rules can be enforced by Firebase Rules-enabled services. More than one `Release` may be 'live' concurrently. Consider the following three `Release` names for `projects/foo` and the `Ruleset` to which they refer. Release Name -> Ruleset Name * projects/foo/releases/prod -> projects/foo/rulesets/uuid123 * projects/foo/releases/prod/beta -> projects/foo/rulesets/uuid123 * projects/foo/releases/prod/v23 -> projects/foo/rulesets/uuid456 The relationships reflect a `Ruleset` rollout in progress. The `prod` and `prod/beta` releases refer to the same `Ruleset`. However, `prod/v23` refers to a new `Ruleset`. The `Ruleset` reference for a `Release` may be updated using the UpdateRelease method.

    Args:

        The object takes the form of:

    { # `Release` is a named reference to a `Ruleset`. Once a `Release` refers to a `Ruleset`, rules-enabled services will be able to enforce the `Ruleset`.
      "createTime": "A String", # Output only. Time the release was created.
      "name": "A String", # Required. Format: `projects/{project_id}/releases/{release_id}`
      "rulesetName": "A String", # Required. Name of the `Ruleset` referred to by this `Release`. The `Ruleset` must exist for the `Release` to be created.
