Returns the specified Project resource.
To decrease latency for this method, you can optionally omit any unneeded information from the response by using a field mask. This practice is especially recommended for unused quota information (the quotas
field). To exclude one or more fields, set your request's fields
query parameter to only include the fields you need. For example, to only include the id
and selfLink
fields, add the query parameter ?fields=id,selfLink
to your request.
GET https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/{project}
The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.
Path parameters Parametersproject
string
Project ID for this request.
Request bodyThe request body must be empty.
Response bodyRepresents a Project resource.
A project is used to organize resources in a Google Cloud Platform environment. For more information, read about the Resource Hierarchy.
If successful, the response body contains data with the following structure:
JSON representation{ "kind": string, "id": string, "creationTimestamp": string, "name": string, "description": string, "commonInstanceMetadata": { "kind": string, "fingerprint": string, "items": [ { "key": string, "value": string } ] }, "quotas": [ { "metric": enum, "limit": number, "usage": number, "owner": string } ], "usageExportLocation": { "bucketName": string, "reportNamePrefix": string }, "enabledFeatures": [ string ], "selfLink": string, "defaultServiceAccount": string, "xpnProjectStatus": enum, "defaultNetworkTier": enum, "vmDnsSetting": enum, "cloudArmorTier": enum }Fields
kind
string
[Output Only] Type of the resource. Always compute#project
for projects.
id
string (uint64 format)
[Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server. This is not the project ID, and is just a unique ID used by Compute Engine to identify resources.
creationTimestamp
string
[Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
name
string
The project ID. For example: my-example-project
. Use the project ID to make requests to Compute Engine.
description
string
An optional textual description of the resource.
commonInstanceMetadata
object
Metadata key/value pairs available to all instances contained in this project. See Custom metadata for more information.
commonInstanceMetadata.kind
string
[Output Only] Type of the resource. Always compute#metadata
for metadata.
commonInstanceMetadata.fingerprint
string (bytes format)
Specifies a fingerprint for this request, which is essentially a hash of the metadata's contents and used for optimistic locking. The fingerprint is initially generated by Compute Engine and changes after every request to modify or update metadata. You must always provide an up-to-date fingerprint hash in order to update or change metadata, otherwise the request will fail with error 412 conditionNotMet
.
To see the latest fingerprint, make a get()
request to retrieve the resource.
A base64-encoded string.
commonInstanceMetadata.items[]
object
Array of key/value pairs. The total size of all keys and values must be less than 512 KB.
commonInstanceMetadata.items[].key
string
Key for the metadata entry. Keys must conform to the following regexp: [a-zA-Z0-9-_]+
, and be less than 128 bytes in length. This is reflected as part of a URL in the metadata server. Additionally, to avoid ambiguity, keys must not conflict with any other metadata keys for the project.
commonInstanceMetadata.items[].value
string
Value for the metadata entry. These are free-form strings, and only have meaning as interpreted by the image running in the instance. The only restriction placed on values is that their size must be less than or equal to 262144 bytes (256 KiB).
quotas[]
object
[Output Only] Quotas assigned to this project.
quotas[].metric
enum
[Output Only] Name of the quota metric.
quotas[].limit
number
[Output Only] Quota limit for this metric.
quotas[].usage
number
[Output Only] Current usage of this metric.
quotas[].owner
string
[Output Only] Owning resource. This is the resource on which this quota is applied.
usageExportLocation
object
An optional naming prefix for daily usage reports and the Google Cloud Storage bucket where they are stored.
usageExportLocation.bucketName
string
The name of an existing bucket in Cloud Storage where the usage report object is stored. The Google Service Account is granted write access to this bucket. This can either be the bucket name by itself, such as example-bucket
, or the bucket name with gs://
or https://storage.googleapis.com/
in front of it, such as gs://example-bucket
.
usageExportLocation.reportNamePrefix
string
An optional prefix for the name of the usage report object stored in bucketName
. If not supplied, defaults to usage_gce
. The report is stored as a CSV file named report_name_prefix_gce_YYYYMMDD.csv
where YYYYMMDD
is the day of the usage according to Pacific Time. If you supply a prefix, it should conform to Cloud Storage object naming conventions.
enabledFeatures[]
string
An optional list of restricted features enabled for use on this project.
selfLink
string
[Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource.
defaultServiceAccount
string
[Output Only] Default service account used by VMs running in this project.
xpnProjectStatus
enum
[Output Only] The role this project has in a shared VPC configuration. Currently, only projects with the host role, which is specified by the value HOST
, are differentiated.
defaultNetworkTier
enum
This signifies the default network tier used for configuring resources of the project and can only take the following values: PREMIUM
, STANDARD
. Initially the default network tier is PREMIUM
.
vmDnsSetting
enum
[Output Only] Default internal DNS setting used by VMs running in this project.
cloudArmorTier
enum
[Output Only] The Cloud Armor tier for this project. It can be one of the following values: CA_STANDARD
, CA_ENTERPRISE_PAYGO
.
If this field is not specified, it is assumed to be CA_STANDARD
.
