Gets a feature tile by its tile resource name.

Args:
name: string, Required. Resource name of the tile. The tile resource name is prefixed by its collection ID `tiles/` followed by the resource ID, which encodes the tile's global x and y coordinates and zoom level as `@,,z`. For example, `tiles/@1,2,3z`. (required)
alwaysIncludeBuildingFootprints: boolean, Flag indicating whether the returned tile will always contain 2.5D footprints for structures. If enabled_modeled_volumes is set, this will mean that structures will have both their 3D models and 2.5D footprints returned.
clientInfo_apiClient: string, API client name and version. For example, the SDK calling the API. The exact format is up to the client.
clientInfo_applicationId: string, Application ID, such as the package name on Android and the bundle identifier on iOS platforms.
clientInfo_applicationVersion: string, Application version number, such as "1.2.3". The exact format is application-dependent.
clientInfo_deviceModel: string, Device model as reported by the device. The exact format is platform-dependent.
clientInfo_operatingSystem: string, Operating system name and version as reported by the OS. For example, "Mac OS X 10.10.4". The exact format is platform-dependent.
clientInfo_platform: string, Platform where the application is running.
Allowed values
PLATFORM_UNSPECIFIED - Unspecified or unknown OS.
EDITOR - Development environment.
MAC_OS - macOS.
WINDOWS - Windows.
LINUX - Linux
ANDROID - Android
IOS - iOS
WEB_GL - WebGL.
clientInfo_userId: string, Required. A client-generated user ID. The ID should be generated and persisted during the first user session or whenever a pre-existing ID is not found. The exact format is up to the client. This must be non-empty in a GetFeatureTileRequest (whether via the header or GetFeatureTileRequest.client_info).
clientTileVersionId: string, Optional version id identifying the tile that is already in the client's cache. This field should be populated with the most recent version_id value returned by the API for the requested tile. If the version id is empty the server always returns a newly rendered tile. If it is provided the server checks if the tile contents would be identical to one that's already on the client, and if so, returns a stripped-down response tile with STATUS_OK_DATA_UNCHANGED instead.
enableDetailedHighwayTypes: boolean, Flag indicating whether detailed highway types should be returned. If this is set, the CONTROLLED_ACCESS_HIGHWAY type may be returned. If not, then these highways will have the generic HIGHWAY type. This exists for backwards compatibility reasons.
enableFeatureNames: boolean, Flag indicating whether human-readable names should be returned for features. If this is set, the display_name field on the feature will be filled out.
enableModeledVolumes: boolean, Flag indicating whether 3D building models should be enabled. If this is set structures will be returned as 3D modeled volumes rather than 2.5D extruded areas where possible.
enablePoliticalFeatures: boolean, Flag indicating whether political features should be returned.
enablePrivateRoads: boolean, Flag indicating whether the returned tile will contain road features that are marked private. Private roads are indicated by the Feature.segment_info.road_info.is_private field.
enableUnclippedBuildings: boolean, Flag indicating whether unclipped buildings should be returned. If this is set, building render ops will extend beyond the tile boundary. Buildings will only be returned on the tile that contains their centroid.
languageCode: string, Required. The BCP-47 language code corresponding to the language in which the name was requested, such as "en-US" or "sr-Latn". For more information, see http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/#Unicode_locale_identifier.
regionCode: string, Required. The Unicode country/region code (CLDR) of the location from which the request is coming from, such as "US" and "419". For more information, see http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/#unicode_region_subtag.
x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.
Allowed values
1 - v1 error format
2 - v2 error format

Returns:
An object of the form:

{ # A tile containing information about the map features located in the region it covers.
"coordinates": { # Global tile coordinates. Global tile coordinates reference a specific tile on the map at a specific zoom level. The origin of this coordinate system is always at the northwest corner of the map, with x values increasing from west to east and y values increasing from north to south. Tiles are indexed using x, y coordinates from that origin. The zoom level containing the entire world in a tile is 0, and it increases as you zoom in. Zoom level n + 1 will contain 4 times as many tiles as zoom level n. The zoom level controls the level of detail of the data that is returned. In particular, this affects the set of feature types returned, their density, and geometry simplification. The exact tile contents may change over time, but care will be taken to keep supporting the most important use cases. For example, zoom level 15 shows roads for orientation and planning in the local neighborhood and zoom level 17 shows buildings to give users on foot a sense of situational awareness. # The global tile coordinates that uniquely identify this tile.
"x": 42, # Required. The x coordinate.

"geometry": { # Represents the geometry of a feature, that is, the shape that it has on the map. The local tile coordinate system has the origin at the north-west (upper-left) corner of the tile, and is scaled to 4096 units across each edge. The height (Z) axis has the same scale factor: an extruded area with a max_z value of 4096 has the same height as the width of the tile that it is on. There is no clipping boundary, so it is possible that some coordinates will lie outside the tile boundaries. # The geometry of this feature, representing the space that it occupies in the world.

Geometry with a lower z-order should be rendered beneath geometry with a higher z-order. This z-ordering does not imply anything about the altitude of the area relative to the ground, but it can be used to prevent z-fighting. Unlike Area.z_order this can be used to compare with Line.basemap_z_order, and in fact may yield more accurate rendering (where a line may be rendered beneath an area).
