Fields

NameDatatypeDescription
namestringRequired. The name of the subscription. It must have the format "projects/{project}/subscriptions/{subscription}". {subscription} must start with a letter, and contain only letters ([A-Za-z]), numbers ([0-9]), dashes (-), underscores (_), periods (.), tildes (~), plus (+) or percent signs (%). It must be between 3 and 255 characters in length, and it must not start with "goog".
ackDeadlineSecondsintegerOptional. The approximate amount of time (on a best-effort basis) Pub/Sub waits for the subscriber to acknowledge receipt before resending the message. In the interval after the message is delivered and before it is acknowledged, it is considered to be outstanding. During that time period, the message will not be redelivered (on a best-effort basis). For pull subscriptions, this value is used as the initial value for the ack deadline. To override this value for a given message, call ModifyAckDeadline with the corresponding ack_id if using non-streaming pull or send the ack_id in a StreamingModifyAckDeadlineRequest if using streaming pull. The minimum custom deadline you can specify is 10 seconds. The maximum custom deadline you can specify is 600 seconds (10 minutes). If this parameter is 0, a default value of 10 seconds is used. For push delivery, this value is also used to set the request timeout for the call to the push endpoint. If the subscriber never acknowledges the message, the Pub/Sub system will eventually redeliver the message.
bigqueryConfigobjectConfiguration for a BigQuery subscription.
cloudStorageConfigobjectConfiguration for a Cloud Storage subscription.
deadLetterPolicyobjectDead lettering is done on a best effort basis. The same message might be dead lettered multiple times. If validation on any of the fields fails at subscription creation/updation, the create/update subscription request will fail.
detachedbooleanOptional. Indicates whether the subscription is detached from its topic. Detached subscriptions don't receive messages from their topic and don't retain any backlog. Pull and StreamingPull requests will return FAILED_PRECONDITION. If the subscription is a push subscription, pushes to the endpoint will not be made.
enableExactlyOnceDeliverybooleanOptional. If true, Pub/Sub provides the following guarantees for the delivery of a message with a given value of message_id on this subscription: The message sent to a subscriber is guaranteed not to be resent before the message's acknowledgement deadline expires. An acknowledged message will not be resent to a subscriber. Note that subscribers may still receive multiple copies of a message when enable_exactly_once_delivery is true if the message was published multiple times by a publisher client. These copies are considered distinct by Pub/Sub and have distinct message_id values.
enableMessageOrderingbooleanOptional. If true, messages published with the same ordering_key in PubsubMessage will be delivered to the subscribers in the order in which they are received by the Pub/Sub system. Otherwise, they may be delivered in any order.
expirationPolicyobjectA policy that specifies the conditions for resource expiration (i.e., automatic resource deletion).
filterstringOptional. An expression written in the Pub/Sub filter language. If non-empty, then only PubsubMessages whose attributes field matches the filter are delivered on this subscription. If empty, then no messages are filtered out.
labelsobjectOptional. See Creating and managing labels.
messageRetentionDurationstringOptional. How long to retain unacknowledged messages in the subscription's backlog, from the moment a message is published. If retain_acked_messages is true, then this also configures the retention of acknowledged messages, and thus configures how far back in time a Seek can be done. Defaults to 7 days. Cannot be more than 7 days or less than 10 minutes.
pushConfigobjectConfiguration for a push delivery endpoint.
retainAckedMessagesbooleanOptional. Indicates whether to retain acknowledged messages. If true, then messages are not expunged from the subscription's backlog, even if they are acknowledged, until they fall out of the message_retention_duration window. This must be true if you would like to [Seek to a timestamp] (https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/replay-overview#seek_to_a_time) in the past to replay previously-acknowledged messages.
retryPolicyobjectA policy that specifies how Pub/Sub retries message delivery. Retry delay will be exponential based on provided minimum and maximum backoffs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_backoff. RetryPolicy will be triggered on NACKs or acknowledgement deadline exceeded events for a given message. Retry Policy is implemented on a best effort basis. At times, the delay between consecutive deliveries may not match the configuration. That is, delay can be more or less than configured backoff.
statestringOutput only. An output-only field indicating whether or not the subscription can receive messages.
topicstringRequired. The name of the topic from which this subscription is receiving messages. Format is projects/{project}/topics/{topic}. The value of this field will be _deleted-topic_ if the topic has been deleted.
topicMessageRetentionDurationstringOutput only. Indicates the minimum duration for which a message is retained after it is published to the subscription's topic. If this field is set, messages published to the subscription's topic in the last topic_message_retention_duration are always available to subscribers. See the message_retention_duration field in Topic. This field is set only in responses from the server; it is ignored if it is set in any requests.

Methods

NameAccessible byRequired ParamsDescription
projects_subscriptions_getSELECTprojectsId, subscriptionsIdGets the configuration details of a subscription.
projects_subscriptions_listSELECTprojectsIdLists matching subscriptions.
projects_topics_subscriptions_listSELECTprojectsId, topicsIdLists the names of the attached subscriptions on this topic.
projects_subscriptions_deleteDELETEprojectsId, subscriptionsIdDeletes an existing subscription. All messages retained in the subscription are immediately dropped. Calls to Pull after deletion will return NOT_FOUND. After a subscription is deleted, a new one may be created with the same name, but the new one has no association with the old subscription or its topic unless the same topic is specified.
_projects_subscriptions_listEXECprojectsIdLists matching subscriptions.
_projects_topics_subscriptions_listEXECprojectsId, topicsIdLists the names of the attached subscriptions on this topic.
projects_subscriptions_acknowledgeEXECprojectsId, subscriptionsIdAcknowledges the messages associated with the ack_ids in the AcknowledgeRequest. The Pub/Sub system can remove the relevant messages from the subscription. Acknowledging a message whose ack deadline has expired may succeed, but such a message may be redelivered later. Acknowledging a message more than once will not result in an error.
projects_subscriptions_createEXECprojectsId, subscriptionsIdCreates a subscription to a given topic. See the [resource name rules] (https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/admin#resource_names). If the subscription already exists, returns ALREADY_EXISTS. If the corresponding topic doesn't exist, returns NOT_FOUND. If the name is not provided in the request, the server will assign a random name for this subscription on the same project as the topic, conforming to the [resource name format] (https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/admin#resource_names). The generated name is populated in the returned Subscription object. Note that for REST API requests, you must specify a name in the request.
projects_subscriptions_detachEXECprojectsId, subscriptionsIdDetaches a subscription from this topic. All messages retained in the subscription are dropped. Subsequent Pull and StreamingPull requests will return FAILED_PRECONDITION. If the subscription is a push subscription, pushes to the endpoint will stop.
projects_subscriptions_modify_ack_deadlineEXECprojectsId, subscriptionsIdModifies the ack deadline for a specific message. This method is useful to indicate that more time is needed to process a message by the subscriber, or to make the message available for redelivery if the processing was interrupted. Note that this does not modify the subscription-level ackDeadlineSeconds used for subsequent messages.
projects_subscriptions_modify_push_configEXECprojectsId, subscriptionsIdModifies the PushConfig for a specified subscription. This may be used to change a push subscription to a pull one (signified by an empty PushConfig) or vice versa, or change the endpoint URL and other attributes of a push subscription. Messages will accumulate for delivery continuously through the call regardless of changes to the PushConfig.
projects_subscriptions_patchEXECprojectsId, subscriptionsIdUpdates an existing subscription. Note that certain properties of a subscription, such as its topic, are not modifiable.
projects_subscriptions_pullEXECprojectsId, subscriptionsIdPulls messages from the server.
projects_subscriptions_seekEXECprojectsId, subscriptionsIdSeeks an existing subscription to a point in time or to a given snapshot, whichever is provided in the request. Snapshots are used in [Seek] (https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/replay-overview) operations, which allow you to manage message acknowledgments in bulk. That is, you can set the acknowledgment state of messages in an existing subscription to the state captured by a snapshot. Note that both the subscription and the snapshot must be on the same topic.
