Methods

acknowledgeTask(request[, options][, callback]) → Promise

Acknowledges a pull task.

The worker, that is, the entity that leased this task must call this method to indicate that the work associated with the task has finished.

The worker must acknowledge a task within the lease_duration or the lease will expire and the task will become available to be leased again. After the task is acknowledged, it will not be returned by a later LeaseTasks, GetTask, or ListTasks.

Example

const tasks = require('tasks.v2beta2');

const client = new tasks.v2beta2.CloudTasksClient({
  // optional auth parameters.
});

const formattedName = client.taskPath('[PROJECT]', '[LOCATION]', '[QUEUE]', '[TASK]');
const scheduleTime = {};
const request = {
  name: formattedName,
  scheduleTime: scheduleTime,
};
client.acknowledgeTask(request).catch(err => {
  console.error(err);
});

Parameters

Name Type Optional Description

request

Object

 

The request object that will be sent.

Values in request have the following properties:

Name Type Optional Description

name

string

 

Required.

The task name. For example: projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION_ID/queues/QUEUE_ID/tasks/TASK_ID

scheduleTime

Object

 

Required.

The task's current schedule time, available in the schedule_time returned by LeaseTasks response or RenewLease response. This restriction is to ensure that your worker currently holds the lease.

This object should have the same structure as Timestamp

options

Object

Yes

Optional parameters. You can override the default settings for this call, e.g, timeout, retries, paginations, etc. See gax.CallOptions for the details.

callback

function(nullable Error)

Yes

The function which will be called with the result of the API call.

Returns

Promise 

  • The promise which resolves when API call finishes. The promise has a method named "cancel" which cancels the ongoing API call.

cancelLease(request[, options][, callback]) → Promise

Cancel a pull task's lease.

The worker can use this method to cancel a task's lease by setting its schedule_time to now. This will make the task available to be leased to the next caller of LeaseTasks.

Example

const tasks = require('tasks.v2beta2');

const client = new tasks.v2beta2.CloudTasksClient({
  // optional auth parameters.
});

const formattedName = client.taskPath('[PROJECT]', '[LOCATION]', '[QUEUE]', '[TASK]');
const scheduleTime = {};
const request = {
  name: formattedName,
  scheduleTime: scheduleTime,
};
client.cancelLease(request)
  .then(responses => {
    const response = responses[0];
    // doThingsWith(response)
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
  });

Parameters

Required.

The task's current schedule time, available in the schedule_time returned by LeaseTasks response or RenewLease response. This restriction is to ensure that your worker currently holds the lease.

This object should have the same structure as Timestamp

responseView

number

Yes

The response_view specifies which subset of the Task will be returned.

By default response_view is BASIC; not all information is retrieved by default because some data, such as payloads, might be desirable to return only when needed because of its large size or because of the sensitivity of data that it contains.

Authorization for FULL requires cloudtasks.tasks.fullView Google IAM permission on the Task resource.

The number should be among the values of View

Optional parameters. You can override the default settings for this call, e.g, timeout, retries, paginations, etc. See gax.CallOptions for the details.

callback

function(nullable Error, nullable Object)

Yes

The function which will be called with the result of the API call.

The second parameter to the callback is an object representing Task.

Returns

Promise 

  • The promise which resolves to an array. The first element of the array is an object representing Task. The promise has a method named "cancel" which cancels the ongoing API call.

createQueue(request[, options][, callback]) → Promise

Creates a queue.

Queues created with this method allow tasks to live for a maximum of 31 days. After a task is 31 days old, the task will be deleted regardless of whether it was dispatched or not.

WARNING: Using this method may have unintended side effects if you are using an App Engine queue.yaml or queue.xml file to manage your queues. Read Overview of Queue Management and queue.yaml before using this method.

Example

const tasks = require('tasks.v2beta2');

const client = new tasks.v2beta2.CloudTasksClient({
  // optional auth parameters.
});

};
client.createQueue(request)
  .then(responses => {
    const response = responses[0];
    // doThingsWith(response)
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
  });

Parameters

Name Type Optional Description

request

Object

 

The request object that will be sent.

Values in request have the following properties:

Name Type Optional Description

parent

string

 

Required.

The location name in which the queue will be created. For example: projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION_ID

The list of allowed locations can be obtained by calling Cloud Tasks' implementation of ListLocations.

queue

Object

 

Required.

The queue to create.

Queue's name cannot be the same as an existing queue.

This object should have the same structure as Queue

options

Object

Yes

Optional parameters. You can override the default settings for this call, e.g, timeout, retries, paginations, etc. See gax.CallOptions for the details.

callback

function(nullable Error, nullable Object)

Yes

The function which will be called with the result of the API call.

The second parameter to the callback is an object representing Queue.

Returns

Promise 

  • The promise which resolves to an array. The first element of the array is an object representing Queue. The promise has a method named "cancel" which cancels the ongoing API call.

createTask(request[, options][, callback]) → Promise

Creates a task and adds it to a queue.

Tasks cannot be updated after creation; there is no UpdateTask command.

  • For App Engine queues, the maximum task size is 100KB.
  • For pull queues, the maximum task size is 1MB.

Example

const tasks = require('tasks.v2beta2');

const client = new tasks.v2beta2.CloudTasksClient({
  // optional auth parameters.
});

const formattedParent = client.queuePath('[PROJECT]', '[LOCATION]', '[QUEUE]');
const task = {};
const request = {
  parent: formattedParent,
  task: task,
};
client.createTask(request)
  .then(responses => {
    const response = responses[0];
    // doThingsWith(response)
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
  });

Parameters

Name Type Optional Description

request

Object

 

The request object that will be sent.

Values in request have the following properties:

Name Type Optional Description

parent

string

 

Required.

The queue name. For example: projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION_ID/queues/QUEUE_ID

The queue must already exist.

task

Object

 

Required.

The task to add.

Task names have the following format: projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION_ID/queues/QUEUE_ID/tasks/TASK_ID. The user can optionally specify a task name. If a name is not specified then the system will generate a random unique task id, which will be set in the task returned in the response.

If schedule_time is not set or is in the past then Cloud Tasks will set it to the current time.

Task De-duplication:

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 with ALREADY_EXISTS. If the task's queue was created using Cloud Tasks, then another task with the same name can't be created for ~1hour after the original task was deleted or completed. If the task's queue was created using queue.yaml or queue.xml, then another task with the same name can't be created for ~9days after the original task was deleted or completed.

Because there is an extra lookup cost to identify duplicate task names, these CreateTask calls have significantly increased latency. Using hashed strings for the task id or for the prefix of the task id is recommended. Choosing task ids that are sequential or have sequential prefixes, for example using a timestamp, causes an increase in latency and error rates in all task commands. The infrastructure relies on an approximately uniform distribution of task ids to store and serve tasks efficiently.

This object should have the same structure as Task

responseView

number

Yes

The response_view specifies which subset of the Task will be returned.

By default response_view is BASIC; not all information is retrieved by default because some data, such as payloads, might be desirable to return only when needed because of its large size or because of the sensitivity of data that it contains.

Authorization for FULL requires cloudtasks.tasks.fullView Google IAM permission on the Task resource.

The number should be among the values of View

    // doThingsWith(response)
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
  });

Parameters

Name Type Optional Description

request

Object

 

The request object that will be sent.

Values in request have the following properties:

Name Type Optional Description

parent

string

 

Required.

The queue name. For example: projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION_ID/queues/QUEUE_ID

leaseDuration

Object

 

After the worker has successfully finished the work associated with the task, the worker must call via AcknowledgeTask before the schedule_time. Otherwise the task will be returned to a later LeaseTasks call so that another worker can retry it.

The maximum lease duration is 1 week. lease_duration will be truncated to the nearest second.

This object should have the same structure as Duration

maxTasks

number

Yes

The maximum number of tasks to lease.

The system will make a best effort to return as close to as max_tasks as possible.

The largest that max_tasks can be is 1000.

responseView

number

Yes

The response_view specifies which subset of the Task will be returned.

By default response_view is BASIC; not all information is retrieved by default because some data, such as payloads, might be desirable to return only when needed because of its large size or because of the sensitivity of data that it contains.

Authorization for FULL requires cloudtasks.tasks.fullView Google IAM permission on the Task resource.

The number should be among the values of View

filter

string

Yes

filter can be used to specify a subset of tasks to lease.

When filter is set to tag=<my-tag> then the response will contain only tasks whose tag is equal to <my-tag>. <my-tag> must be less than 500 characters.

When filter is set to tag_function=oldest_tag(), only tasks which have the same tag as the task with the oldest schedule_time will be returned.

Grammar Syntax:

  • filter = "tag=" tag | "tag_function=" function

  • tag = string

  • function = "oldest_tag()"

The oldest_tag() function returns tasks which have the same tag as the oldest task (ordered by schedule time).

SDK compatibility: Although the SDK allows tags to be either string or bytes, only UTF-8 encoded tags can be used in Cloud Tasks. Tag which aren't UTF-8 encoded can't be used in the filter and the task's tag will be displayed as empty in Cloud Tasks.

options

Object

Yes

Optional parameters. You can override the default settings for this call, e.g, timeout, retries, paginations, etc. See gax.CallOptions for the details.

callback

function(nullable Error, nullable Object)

Yes

The function which will be called with the result of the API call.

The second parameter to the callback is an object representing LeaseTasksResponse.

Returns

Promise 

  • The promise which resolves to an array. The first element of the array is an object representing LeaseTasksResponse. The promise has a method named "cancel" which cancels the ongoing API call.

listQueues(request[, options][, callback]) → Promise

Lists queues.

Queues are returned in lexicographical order.

Example

const tasks = require('tasks.v2beta2');

const client = new tasks.v2beta2.CloudTasksClient({
  // optional auth parameters.
});

// Iterate over all elements.
const formattedParent = client.locationPath('[PROJECT]', '[LOCATION]');

client.listQueues({parent: formattedParent})
  .then(responses => {
    const resources = responses[0];
    for (const resource of resources) {
      // doThingsWith(resource)
    }
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
  });

// Or obtain the paged response.
const formattedParent = client.locationPath('[PROJECT]', '[LOCATION]');


const options = {autoPaginate: false};
const callback = responses => {
  // The actual resources in a response.
  const resources = responses[0];
  // The next request if the response shows that there are more responses.
  const nextRequest = responses[1];
  // The actual response object, if necessary.
  // const rawResponse = responses[2];
  for (const resource of resources) {
    // doThingsWith(resource);
  }
  if (nextRequest) {
    // Fetch the next page.
    return client.listQueues(nextRequest, options).then(callback);
  }
}
client.listQueues({parent: formattedParent}, options)
  .then(callback)
  .catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
  });

Parameters

Name Type Optional Description

request

Object

 

The request object that will be sent.

Values in request have the following properties:

Name Type Optional Description

parent

string

 

Required.

The location name. For example: projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION_ID

filter

string

Yes

filter can be used to specify a subset of queues. Any Queue field can be used as a filter and several operators as supported. For example: <=, <, >=, >, !=, =, :. The filter syntax is the same as described in Stackdriver's Advanced Logs Filters.

Sample filter "app_engine_http_target: *".

Note that using filters might cause fewer queues than the requested_page size to be returned.

pageSize

number

Yes

The maximum number of resources contained in the underlying API response. If page streaming is performed per-resource, this parameter does not affect the return value. If page streaming is performed per-page, this determines the maximum number of resources in a page.

options

Object

Yes

Optional parameters. You can override the default settings for this call, e.g, timeout, retries, paginations, etc. See gax.CallOptions for the details.

callback

function(nullable Error, nullable Array, nullable Object, nullable Object)

Yes

The function which will be called with the result of the API call.

The second parameter to the callback is Array of Queue.

When autoPaginate: false is specified through options, it contains the result in a single response. If the response indicates the next page exists, the third parameter is set to be used for the next request object. The fourth parameter keeps the raw response object of an object representing ListQueuesResponse.

Returns

Promise 

  • The promise which resolves to an array. The first element of the array is Array of Queue.

    When autoPaginate: false is specified through options, the array has three elements. The first element is Array of Queue in a single response. The second element is the next request object if the response indicates the next page exists, or null. The third element is an object representing ListQueuesResponse.

    The promise has a method named "cancel" which cancels the ongoing API call.

listQueuesStream(request[, options]) → Stream

Equivalent to listQueues, but returns a NodeJS Stream object.

This fetches the paged responses for listQueues continuously and invokes the callback registered for 'data' event for each element in the responses.

The returned object has 'end' method when no more elements are required.

autoPaginate option will be ignored.

Example

const tasks = require('tasks.v2beta2');

const client = new tasks.v2beta2.CloudTasksClient({
  // optional auth parameters.
});

const formattedParent = client.locationPath('[PROJECT]', '[LOCATION]');
client.listQueuesStream({parent: formattedParent})
  .on('data', element => {
    // doThingsWith(element)
  }).on('error', err => {
    console.log(err);
  });

Parameters

Name Type Optional Description

request

Object

 

The request object that will be sent.

Values in request have the following properties:

Name Type Optional Description

parent

string

 

Required.

The location name. For example: projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION_ID

Yes

filter can be used to specify a subset of queues. Any Queue field can be used as a filter and several operators as supported. For example: <=, <, >=, >, !=, =, :. The filter syntax is the same as described in Stackdriver's Advanced Logs Filters.

Sample filter "app_engine_http_target: *".

Note that using filters might cause fewer queues than the requested_page size to be returned.

pageSize

number

Yes

The maximum number of resources contained in the underlying API response. If page streaming is performed per-resource, this parameter does not affect the return value. If page streaming is performed per-page, this determines the maximum number of resources in a page.

options

Object

Yes

Optional parameters. You can override the default settings for this call, e.g, timeout, retries, paginations, etc. See gax.CallOptions for the details.

https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html
Returns

Stream 

An object stream which emits an object representing Queue on 'data' event.

listTasks(request[, options][, callback]) → Promise

Lists the tasks in a queue.

By default, only the BASIC view is retrieved due to performance considerations; response_view controls the subset of information which is returned.

The tasks may be returned in any order. The ordering may change at any time.

Example

const tasks = require('tasks.v2beta2');

const client = new tasks.v2beta2.CloudTasksClient({
  // optional auth parameters.
});

// Iterate over all elements.
const formattedParent = client.queuePath('[PROJECT]', '[LOCATION]', '[QUEUE]');

client.listTasks({parent: formattedParent})
  .then(responses => {
    const resources = responses[0];
    for (const resource of resources) {
      // doThingsWith(resource)
    }
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
  });

// Or obtain the paged response.
const formattedParent = client.queuePath('[PROJECT]', '[LOCATION]', '[QUEUE]');


const options = {autoPaginate: false};
const callback = responses => {
  // The actual resources in a response.
  const resources = responses[0];
  // The next request if the response shows that there are more responses.
  const nextRequest = responses[1];
  // The actual response object, if necessary.
  // const rawResponse = responses[2];
  for (const resource of resources) {
    // doThingsWith(resource);
  }
  if (nextRequest) {
    // Fetch the next page.
    return client.listTasks(nextRequest, options).then(callback);
  }
}
client.listTasks({parent: formattedParent}, options)
  .then(callback)
  .catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
  });

The request object that will be sent.

Values in request have the following properties:

Name Type Optional Description

parent

string

 

Required.

The queue name. For example: projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION_ID/queues/QUEUE_ID

responseView

number

Yes

The response_view specifies which subset of the Task will be returned.

By default response_view is BASIC; not all information is retrieved by default because some data, such as payloads, might be desirable to return only when needed because of its large size or because of the sensitivity of data that it contains.

Authorization for FULL requires cloudtasks.tasks.fullView Google IAM permission on the Task resource.

The number should be among the values of View

pageSize

number

Yes

The maximum number of resources contained in the underlying API response. If page streaming is performed per-resource, this parameter does not affect the return value. If page streaming is performed per-page, this determines the maximum number of resources in a page.

options

Object

Yes

Optional parameters. You can override the default settings for this call, e.g, timeout, retries, paginations, etc. See gax.CallOptions for the details.

callback

function(nullable Error, nullable Array, nullable Object, nullable Object)

Yes

The function which will be called with the result of the API call.

The second parameter to the callback is Array of Task.

When autoPaginate: false is specified through options, it contains the result in a single response. If the response indicates the next page exists, the third parameter is set to be used for the next request object. The fourth parameter keeps the raw response object of an object representing ListTasksResponse.

Returns

Promise 

  • The promise which resolves to an array. The first element of the array is Array of Task.

    When autoPaginate: false is specified through options, the array has three elements. The first element is Array of Task in a single response. The second element is the next request object if the response indicates the next page exists, or null. The third element is an object representing ListTasksResponse.

    The promise has a method named "cancel" which cancels the ongoing API call.

listTasksStream(request[, options]) → Stream

Equivalent to listTasks, but returns a NodeJS Stream object.

This fetches the paged responses for listTasks continuously and invokes the callback registered for 'data' event for each element in the responses.

The returned object has 'end' method when no more elements are required.

autoPaginate option will be ignored.

Example

const tasks = require('tasks.v2beta2');

const client = new tasks.v2beta2.CloudTasksClient({
  // optional auth parameters.
});

const formattedParent = client.queuePath('[PROJECT]', '[LOCATION]', '[QUEUE]');
client.listTasksStream({parent: formattedParent})
  .on('data', element => {
    // doThingsWith(element)
  }).on('error', err => {
    console.log(err);
  });

runTask(request[, options][, callback]) → Promise

Forces a task to run now.

When this method is called, Cloud Tasks will dispatch the task, even if the task is already running, the queue has reached its RateLimits or is PAUSED.

This command is meant to be used for manual debugging. For example, RunTask can be used to retry a failed task after a fix has been made or to manually force a task to be dispatched now.

The dispatched task is returned. That is, the task that is returned contains the status after the task is dispatched but before the task is received by its target.

If Cloud Tasks receives a successful response from the task's target, then the task will be deleted; otherwise the task's schedule_time will be reset to the time that RunTask was called plus the retry delay specified in the queue's RetryConfig.

RunTask returns NOT_FOUND when it is called on a task that has already succeeded or permanently failed.

RunTask cannot be called on a pull task.

Example

const tasks = require('tasks.v2beta2');

const client = new tasks.v2beta2.CloudTasksClient({
  // optional auth parameters.
});

const formattedName = client.taskPath('[PROJECT]', '[LOCATION]', '[QUEUE]', '[TASK]');
client.runTask({name: formattedName})
