### Method Details

`getBillingInfo(name, x__xgafv=None)`

    Gets the billing information for a project. The current authenticated user
    must have [permission to view the
    project](https://cloud.google.com/docs/permissions-overview#h.bgs0oxofvnoo
    ).

    Args:
      name: string, The resource name of the project for which billing information is
    retrieved. For example, `projects/tokyo-rain-123`. (required)
      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.
        Allowed values
          1 - v1 error format
          2 - v2 error format

    Returns:
      An object of the form:

        { # Encapsulation of billing information for a Cloud Console project. A project
          # has at most one associated billing account at a time (but a billing account
          # can be assigned to multiple projects).
        "projectId": "A String", # The ID of the project that this `ProjectBillingInfo` represents, such as
            # `tokyo-rain-123`. This is a convenience field so that you don't need to
            # parse the `name` field to obtain a project ID. This field is read-only.
        "name": "A String", # The resource name for the `ProjectBillingInfo`; has the form
            # `projects/{project_id}/billingInfo`. For example, the resource name for the
            # billing information for project `tokyo-rain-123` would be
            # `projects/tokyo-rain-123/billingInfo`. This field is read-only.
        "billingEnabled": True or False, # True if the project is associated with an open billing account, to which
            # usage on the project is charged. False if the project is associated with a
            # closed billing account, or no billing account at all, and therefore cannot
            # use paid services. This field is read-only.
        "billingAccountName": "A String", # The resource name of the billing account associated with the project, if
            # any. For example, `billingAccounts/012345-567890-ABCDEF`.
      }

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

    Sets or updates the billing account associated with a project. You specify
    the new billing account by setting the `billing_account_name` in the
    `ProjectBillingInfo` resource to the resource name of a billing account.
    Associating a project with an open billing account enables billing on the
    project and allows charges for resource usage. If the project already had a
    billing account, this method changes the billing account used for resource
    usage charges.

    *Note:* Incurred charges that have not yet been reported in the transaction
    history of the Google Cloud Console may be billed to the new billing
    account, even if the charge occurred before the new billing account was
    assigned to the project.

    The current authenticated user must have ownership privileges for both the
    [project](https://cloud.google.com/docs/permissions-overview#h.bgs0oxofvnoo
    ) and the [billing
    account](https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/4430947).

    You can disable billing on the project by setting the
    `billing_account_name` field to empty. This action disassociates the
    current billing account from the project. Any billable activity of your
    in-use services will stop, and your application could stop functioning as
    expected. Any unbilled charges to date will be billed to the previously
    associated account. The current authenticated user must be either an owner
    of the project or an owner of the billing account for the project.

    Note that associating a project with a *closed* billing account will have
    much the same effect as disabling billing on the project: any paid
    resources used by the project will be shut down. Thus, unless you wish to
    disable billing, you should always call this method with the name of an
    *open* billing account.

    Args:
      name: string, The resource name of the project associated with the billing information
    that you want to update. For example, `projects/tokyo-rain-123`. (required)
      body: object, The request body. (required)
        The object takes the form of:

    { # Encapsulation of billing information for a Cloud Console project. A project
        # has at most one associated billing account at a time (but a billing account
        # can be assigned to multiple projects).

      "name": "A String", # The resource name for the `ProjectBillingInfo`; has the form
          # `projects/{project_id}/billingInfo`. For example, the resource name for the
