SYNOPSIS

gcloud alpha tasks create-http-task [TASK_ID] --queue=QUEUE --url=URL [--header=HEADER_FIELD: HEADER_VALUE] [--location=LOCATION] [--method=METHOD] [--schedule-time=SCHEDULE_TIME] [--body-content=BODY_CONTENT | --body-file=BODY_FILE] [[--oauth-service-account-email=OAUTH_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL : --oauth-token-scope=OAUTH_TOKEN_SCOPE] | [--oidc-service-account-email=OIDC_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL : --oidc-token-audience=OIDC_TOKEN_AUDIENCE]] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION

(ALPHA) Create and add a task that targets a HTTP endpoint.

EXAMPLES

To create a task:

$ gcloud alpha tasks create-http-task --queue=my-queue \ --url=http://example.com/handler-path my-task

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

[TASK_ID]

The task to create.

If not specified then the system will generate a random unique task ID. Explicitly specifying a task ID enables task de-duplication. If a task's ID is identical to that of an existing task or a task that was deleted or completed recently then the call will fail.

Because there is an extra lookup cost to identify duplicate task names, tasks created with IDs have significantly increased latency. Using hashed strings for the task ID or for the prefix of the task ID is recommended.

REQUIRED FLAGS

--queue=QUEUE

The queue the task belongs to.

--url=URL

The full URL path that the request will be sent to. This string must begin with either "http://" or "https://".

OPTIONAL FLAGS

--header=HEADER_FIELD: HEADER_VALUE

An HTTP request header. Header values can contain commas. This flag can be repeated. Repeated header fields will have their values overridden.

--location=LOCATION

The location where we want to manage the queue or task. If not specified, uses the location of the current project's App Engine app if there is an associated app.

--method=METHOD

The HTTP method to use for the request. If not specified, "POST" will be used.

--schedule-time=SCHEDULE_TIME

The time when the task is scheduled to be first attempted. Defaults to "now" if not specified.

At most one of these can be specified:
--body-content=BODY_CONTENT

HTTP Body data sent to the task worker processing the task.

--body-file=BODY_FILE

File containing HTTP body data sent to the task worker processing the task.

How the request sent to the target when executing the task should be

authenticated.

At most one of these can be specified:

OAuth2
--oauth-service-account-email=OAUTH_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL

The service account email to be used for generating an OAuth2 access token to be included in the request sent to the target when executing the task. The service account must be within the same project as the queue. The caller must have 'iam.serviceAccounts.actAs' permission for the service account.

This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.

--oauth-token-scope=OAUTH_TOKEN_SCOPE

The scope to be used when generating an OAuth2 access token to be included in the request sent to the target when executing the task. If not specified, 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform' will be used.

OpenId Connect
--oidc-service-account-email=OIDC_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL

The service account email to be used for generating an OpenID Connect token to be included in the request sent to the target when executing the task. The service account must be within the same project as the queue. The caller must have 'iam.serviceAccounts.actAs' permission for the service account.

This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.

--oidc-token-audience=OIDC_TOKEN_AUDIENCE

The audience to be used when generating an OpenID Connect token to be included in the request sent to the target when executing the task. If not specified, the URI specified in the target will be used.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS

These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.

Run $ gcloud help for details.

NOTES

This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist. These variants are also available:

$ gcloud tasks create-http-task

$ gcloud beta tasks create-http-task
