`get(name, x__xgafv=None)`

    Gets a Document.

    Args:
      name: string, Required. Full resource name of Chunk, such as `projects/{project}/locations/{location}/collections/{collection}/dataStores/{data_store}/branches/{branch}/documents/{document}/chunks/{chunk}`. If the caller does not have permission to access the Chunk, regardless of whether or not it exists, a `PERMISSION_DENIED` error is returned. If the requested Chunk does not exist, a `NOT_FOUND` error is returned. (required)
      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.
        Allowed values
          1 - v1 error format
          2 - v2 error format

    Returns:
      An object of the form:

        { # Chunk captures all raw metadata information of items to be recommended or searched in the chunk mode.
      "chunkMetadata": { # Metadata of the current chunk. This field is only populated on SearchService.Search API. # Output only. Metadata of the current chunk.
        "nextChunks": [ # The next chunks of the current chunk. The number is controlled by SearchRequest.ContentSearchSpec.ChunkSpec.num_next_chunks. This field is only populated on SearchService.Search API.

This field must be a UTF-8 encoded string with a length limit of 1024 characters.
      "pageSpan": { # Page span of the chunk. # Page span of the chunk.
        "pageEnd": 42, # The end page of the chunk.
        "pageStart": 42, # The start page of the chunk.
      },
      "relevanceScore": 3.14, # Output only. Represents the relevance score based on similarity. Higher score indicates higher chunk relevance. The score is in range [-1.0, 1.0]. Only populated on SearchResponse.
    }

`list(parent, pageSize=None, pageToken=None, x__xgafv=None)`

    Gets a list of Chunks.

    Args:
      parent: string, Required. The parent document resource name, such as `projects/{project}/locations/{location}/collections/{collection}/dataStores/{data_store}/branches/{branch}/documents/{document}`. If the caller does not have permission to list Chunks under this document, regardless of whether or not this document exists, a `PERMISSION_DENIED` error is returned. (required)
      pageSize: integer, Maximum number of Chunks to return. If unspecified, defaults to 100. The maximum allowed value is 1000. Values above 1000 will be coerced to 1000. If this field is negative, an `INVALID_ARGUMENT` error is returned.
      pageToken: string, A page token ListChunksResponse.next_page_token, received from a previous ChunkService.ListChunks call. Provide this to retrieve the subsequent page. When paginating, all other parameters provided to ChunkService.ListChunks must match the call that provided the page token. Otherwise, an `INVALID_ARGUMENT` error is returned.
      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.
        Allowed values
          1 - v1 error format
