This API is supported for first-generation runtimes and can be used when upgrading to corresponding second-generation runtimes. If you are updating to the App Engine Python 3 runtime, refer to the migration guide to learn about your migration options for legacy bundled services.The Modules API provides functions that return information about the current operating environment (module, version, and instance).
The Modules API also has functions that retrieve the address of a module, a version, or an instance. This allows an application to send requests from one instance to another, in both the development and production environments.
You must import the google.appengine.api.modules module from the SDK.
The following code sample shows how to get the module name and instance id for a request:
The instance ID of an automatic scaled module will be returned as a unique base64 encoded value, e.g. e4b565394caa.
You can communicate between modules in the same app by fetching the hostname of the target module:
You can also use the URL Fetch service.
