  A Resource identifier.

- `batch_size: Optional[float]`

  The maximum number of messages to include in a batch.

### Returns

    - `lease_id: Optional[str]`

      An ID that represents an "in-flight" message that has been pulled from a Queue. You must hold on to this ID and use it to acknowledge this message.

    - `metadata: Optional[object]`

    - `timestamp_ms: Optional[float]`

  - `metadata: Optional[Metadata]`

    - `metrics: Optional[MetadataMetrics]`

      Best-effort metrics for the queue. Values may be approximate due to the distributed nature of queues.

      - `backlog_bytes: float`

        The size in bytes of unacknowledged messages in the queue.

      - `backlog_count: float`

        The number of unacknowledged messages in the queue.

client = Cloudflare(
    api_token=os.environ.get("CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN"),  # This is the default and can be omitted

response = client.queues.messages.pull(
    queue_id="023e105f4ecef8ad9ca31a8372d0c353",
