googleapis/gcp-metadata: Get the metadata from a Google Cloud Platform environment

Get the metadata from a Google Cloud Platform environment

A comprehensive list of changes in each version may be found in the CHANGELOG.

Read more about the client libraries for Cloud APIs, including the older Google APIs Client Libraries, in Client Libraries Explained.

Installing the client library
const gcpMetadata = require('gcp-metadata');

async function quickstart() {
  // check to see if this code can access a metadata server
  const isAvailable = await gcpMetadata.isAvailable();
  console.log(`Is available: ${isAvailable}`);

  // Instance and Project level metadata will only be available if
  // running inside of a Google Cloud compute environment such as
  // Cloud Functions, App Engine, Kubernetes Engine, or Compute Engine.
  // To learn more about the differences between instance and project
  // level metadata, see:
  // https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/storing-retrieving-metadata#project-instance-metadata
  if (isAvailable) {
    // grab all top level metadata from the service
    const instanceMetadata = await gcpMetadata.instance();
    console.log('Instance metadata:');
    console.log(instanceMetadata);

    // get all project level metadata
    const projectMetadata = await gcpMetadata.project();
    console.log('Project metadata:');
    console.log(projectMetadata);
  }
}

quickstart();
Check to see if the metadata server is available
const isAvailable = await gcpMetadata.isAvailable();
const data = await gcpMetadata.instance();
console.log(data); // ... All metadata properties
Access specific properties
const data = await gcpMetadata.instance('hostname');
console.log(data); // ...Instance hostname
const projectId = await gcpMetadata.project('project-id');
console.log(projectId); // ...Project ID of the running instance
Access nested properties with the relative path
const data = await gcpMetadata.instance('service-accounts/default/email');
console.log(data); // ...Email address of the Compute identity service account
Access specific properties with query parameters
const data = await gcpMetadata.instance({
  property: 'tags',
  params: { alt: 'text' }
});
console.log(data) // ...Tags as newline-delimited list
Access with custom headers
await gcpMetadata.instance({
  headers: { 'no-trace': '1' }
}); // ...Request is untraced
Take care with large number valued properties

In some cases number valued properties returned by the Metadata Service may be too large to be representable as JavaScript numbers. In such cases we return those values as BigNumber objects (from the bignumber.js library). Numbers that fit within the JavaScript number range will be returned as normal number values.

const id = await gcpMetadata.instance('id');
console.log(id)  // ... BigNumber { s: 1, e: 18, c: [ 45200, 31799277581759 ] }
console.log(id.toString()) // ... 4520031799277581759

Samples are in the samples/ directory. Each sample's README.md has instructions for running its sample.

The GCP Metadata Node.js Client API Reference documentation also contains samples.

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js. If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.

Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a best-efforts basis with the following warnings:

Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and can be installed through npm dist-tags. The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version). For example, npm install gcp-metadata@legacy-8 installs client libraries for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be stable. The code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against stable libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
