HTTP request

POST https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/beta/projects/{project}/regions/{region}/networkPolicies

The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax. To know more about valid error responses that can be thrown by this HTTP request, please refer to the service error catalog

Path parameters

Parameters

Parameters
`project`	`string` Project ID for this request.
`region`	`string` Name of the region of this request.

project

string

Project ID for this request.

region

string

Name of the region of this request.

Query parameters

Parameters

Parameters
`requestId`	`string` An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed. For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments. The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (`00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000`).

requestId

string

An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed.

For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.

The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).

Response body

Represents an Operation resource.

Google Compute Engine has three Operation resources:

You can use an operation resource to manage asynchronous API requests. For more information, read Handling API responses.

Operations can be global, regional or zonal.

For global operations, use the globalOperations resource.
For regional operations, use the regionOperations resource.
For zonal operations, use the zoneOperations resource.

For more information, read Global, Regional, and Zonal Resources.

Note that completed Operation resources have a limited retention period.

If successful, the response body contains data with the following structure:

`progress`	`integer` [Output Only] An optional progress indicator that ranges from 0 to 100. There is no requirement that this be linear or support any granularity of operations. This should not be used to guess when the operation will be complete. This number should monotonically increase as the operation progresses.
`insertTime`	`string` [Output Only] The time that this operation was requested. This value is in RFC3339 text format.
`startTime`	`string` [Output Only] The time that this operation was started by the server. This value is in RFC3339 text format.

`error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo.reason`	`string` The reason of the error. This is a constant value that identifies the proximate cause of the error. Error reasons are unique within a particular domain of errors. This should be at most 63 characters and match a regular expression of `[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]+[A-Z0-9]`, which represents UPPER_SNAKE_CASE.
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo.domain`	`string` The logical grouping to which the "reason" belongs. The error domain is typically the registered service name of the tool or product that generates the error. Example: "pubsub.googleapis.com". If the error is generated by some common infrastructure, the error domain must be a globally unique value that identifies the infrastructure. For Google API infrastructure, the error domain is "googleapis.com".

`warnings[].data[].key`	`string` [Output Only] A key that provides more detail on the warning being returned. For example, for warnings where there are no results in a list request for a particular zone, this key might be `scope` and the key value might be the zone name. Other examples might be a key indicating a deprecated resource and a suggested replacement, or a warning about invalid network settings (for example, if an instance attempts to perform IP forwarding but is not enabled for IP forwarding).
`warnings[].data[].value`	`string` [Output Only] A warning data value corresponding to the key.
`httpErrorStatusCode`	`integer` [Output Only] If the operation fails, this field contains the HTTP error status code that was returned. For example, a `404` means the resource was not found.
