Method: routes.get

Returns the specified Route resource.

HTTP request

GET https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/{project}/global/routes/{route}

The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Path parameters

Parameters
project

string

Project ID for this request.
route

string

Name of the Route resource to return.

Request body

The request body must be empty.

Response body

Represents a Route resource.

A route defines a path from VM instances in the VPC network to a specific destination. This destination can be inside or outside the VPC network. For more information, read the Routes overview.

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

Fields
kind

string

[Output Only] Type of this resource. Always compute#routes for Route resources.
id

string (uint64 format)

[Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.
creationTimestamp

string

[Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
name

string

Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?. The first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters (except for the last character) must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit. The last character must be a lowercase letter or digit.
description

string

An optional description of this resource. Provide this field when you create the resource.
network

string

Fully-qualified URL of the network that this route applies to.
tags[]

string

A list of instance tags to which this route applies.
destRange

string

The destination range of outgoing packets that this route applies to. Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported. Must specify an IPv4 range (e.g. 192.0.2.0/24) or an IPv6 range in RFC 4291 format (e.g. 2001:db8::/32). IPv6 range will be displayed using RFC 5952 compressed format.
priority

integer (uint32 format)

The priority of this route. Priority is used to break ties in cases where there is more than one matching route of equal prefix length. In cases where multiple routes have equal prefix length, the one with the lowest-numbered priority value wins. The default value is 1000. The priority value must be from 0 to 65535, inclusive.
nextHopInstance

string

The URL to an instance that should handle matching packets. You can specify this as a full or partial URL. For example:
https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/project/zones/zone/instances/
nextHopIp

string

The network IP address of an instance that should handle matching packets. Both IPv6 address and IPv4 addresses are supported. Must specify an IPv4 address in dot-decimal notation (e.g. 192.0.2.99) or an IPv6 address in RFC 4291 format (e.g. 2001:db8::2d9:51:0:0 or 2001:db8:0:0:2d9:51:0:0). IPv6 addresses will be displayed using RFC 5952 compressed format (e.g. 2001:db8::2d9:51:0:0). Should never be an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.
nextHopNetwork

string

The URL of the local network if it should handle matching packets.
nextHopGateway

string

The URL to a gateway that should handle matching packets. You can only specify the internet gateway using a full or partial valid URL:
projects/project/global/gateways/default-internet-gateway
nextHopPeering

string

[Output Only] The network peering name that should handle matching packets, which should conform to RFC1035.
nextHopIlb

string

The URL to a forwarding rule of type loadBalancingScheme=INTERNAL that should handle matching packets or the IP address of the forwarding Rule. For example, the following are all valid URLs:

If an IP address is provided, must specify an IPv4 address in dot-decimal notation or an IPv6 address in RFC 4291 format. For example, the following are all valid IP addresses:
  • 10.128.0.56
  • 2001:db8::2d9:51:0:0
  • 2001:db8:0:0:2d9:51:0:0
IPv6 addresses will be displayed using RFC 5952 compressed format (e.g. 2001:db8::2d9:51:0:0). Should never be an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.
warnings[]

object

[Output Only] If potential misconfigurations are detected for this route, this field will be populated with warning messages.
warnings[].code

enum

[Output Only] A warning code, if applicable. For example, Compute Engine returns NO_RESULTS_ON_PAGE if there are no results in the response.
warnings[].message

string

[Output Only] A human-readable description of the warning code.
warnings[].data[]

object

[Output Only] Metadata about this warning in key: value format. For example: 

"data": [  {  "key": "scope",  "value": "zones/us-east1-d"  }
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.
nextHopVpnTunnel

string

The URL to a VpnTunnel that should handle matching packets.
nextHopHub

string

[Output Only] The full resource name of the Network Connectivity Center hub that will handle matching packets.
routeType

enum

[Output Only] The type of this route, which can be one of the following values:

  • 'TRANSIT' for a transit route that this router learned from another Cloud Router and will readvertise to one of its BGP peers
  • 'SUBNET' for a route from a subnet of the VPC
  • 'BGP' for a route learned from a BGP peer of this router
  • 'STATIC' for a static route

    		•
    asPaths[]

    object

    [Output Only] AS path.
    asPaths[].pathSegmentType

    enum

    [Output Only] The type of the AS Path, which can be one of the following values:

  • 'AS_SET': unordered set of autonomous systems that the route in has traversed
  • 'AS_SEQUENCE': ordered set of autonomous systems that the route has traversed
  • 'AS_CONFED_SEQUENCE': ordered set of Member Autonomous Systems in the local confederation that the route has traversed
  • 'AS_CONFED_SET': unordered set of Member Autonomous Systems in the local confederation that the route has traversed

    • asPaths[].asLists[]

    integer

    [Output Only] The AS numbers of the AS Path.
    routeStatus

    enum

    [Output only] The status of the route.
