(static) State :number
State of the queue.
Properties:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
STATE_UNSPECIFIED |
number |
Unspecified state. |
RUNNING |
number |
The queue is running. Tasks can be dispatched. If the queue was created using Cloud Tasks and the queue has had no activity (method calls or task dispatches) for 30 days, the queue may take a few minutes to re-activate. Some method calls may return NOT_FOUND and tasks may not be dispatched for a few minutes until the queue has been re-activated. |
PAUSED |
number |
Tasks are paused by the user. If the queue is paused then Cloud Tasks will stop delivering tasks from it, but more tasks can still be added to it by the user. |
DISABLED |
number |
The queue is disabled. A queue becomes When a queue is disabled, tasks can still be added to a queue but the tasks are not dispatched. To permanently delete this queue and all of its tasks, call DeleteQueue. |
(static) View :number
The view specifies a subset of Task data.
When a task is returned in a response, 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.
Properties:
Name | Type | Description |

VIEW_UNSPECIFIED |
number |
Unspecified. Defaults to BASIC. |
BASIC |
number |
The basic view omits fields which can be large or can contain sensitive data. This view does not include the body in AppEngineHttpRequest. Bodies are desirable to return only when needed, because they can be large and because of the sensitivity of the data that you choose to store in it. |
FULL |

Type Definitions
AppEngineHttpRequest
App Engine HTTP request.
The message defines the HTTP request that is sent to an App Engine app when the task is dispatched.
Using AppEngineHttpRequest requires
appengine.applications.get
Google IAM permission for the project
and the following scope:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform
The task will be delivered to the App Engine app which belongs to the same project as the queue. For more information, see How Requests are Routed and how routing is affected by dispatch files. Traffic is encrypted during transport and never leaves Google datacenters. Because this traffic is carried over a communication mechanism internal to Google, you cannot explicitly set the protocol (for example, HTTP or HTTPS). The request to the handler, however, will appear to have used the HTTP protocol.
The AppEngineRouting used to construct the URL that the task is delivered to can be set at the queue-level or task-level:
- If app_engine_routing_override is set on the queue, this value is used for all tasks in the queue, no matter what the setting is for the task-level app_engine_routing.
The url
that the task will be sent to is:
url =
host+
relative_uri
Tasks can be dispatched to secure app handlers, unsecure app handlers, and
URIs restricted with
login: admin
.
Because tasks are not run as any user, they cannot be dispatched to URIs
restricted with
login: required
Task dispatches also do not follow redirects.
The task attempt has succeeded if the app's request handler returns an HTTP
response code in the range [200
- 299
]. The task attempt has failed if
the app's handler returns a non-2xx response code or Cloud Tasks does
not receive response before the deadline. Failed
tasks will be retried according to the
retry configuration. 503
(Service Unavailable) is
considered an App Engine system error instead of an application error and
will cause Cloud Tasks' traffic congestion control to temporarily throttle
the queue's dispatches. Unlike other types of task targets, a 429
(Too Many
Requests) response from an app handler does not cause traffic congestion
control to throttle the queue.
Properties:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
httpMethod |
number |
The HTTP method to use for the request. The default is POST. The app's request handler for the task's target URL must be able to handle HTTP requests with this http_method, otherwise the task attempt will fail with error code 405 (Method Not Allowed). See Writing a push task request handler and the documentation for the request handlers in the language your app is written in e.g. Python Request Handler. The number should be among the values of HttpMethod |
appEngineRouting |
Object |
Task-level setting for App Engine routing.

relativeUri |
string |
The relative URI. The relative URI must begin with "/" and must be a valid HTTP relative URI. It can contain a path and query string arguments. If the relative URI is empty, then the root path "/" will be used. No spaces are allowed, and the maximum length allowed is 2083 characters. |
headers |
Object.<string, string> |
HTTP request headers. This map contains the header field names and values. Headers can be set when the task is created. Repeated headers are not supported but a header value can contain commas. Cloud Tasks sets some headers to default values:
If the task has a body, Cloud Tasks sets the following headers:
The headers below cannot be set or overridden:
In addition, Cloud Tasks sets some headers when the task is dispatched, such as headers containing information about the task; see request headers. These headers are set only when the task is dispatched, so they are not visible when the task is returned in a Cloud Tasks response. Although there is no specific limit for the maximum number of headers or the size, there is a limit on the maximum size of the Task. For more information, see the CreateTask documentation. |
body |
Buffer |
HTTP request body. A request body is allowed only if the HTTP method is POST or PUT. It is an error to set a body on a task with an incompatible HttpMethod. |

service |
string |
App service. By default, the task is sent to the service which is the default service when the task is attempted. For some queues or tasks which were created using the App Engine Task Queue API, host is not parsable into service, version, and instance. For example, some tasks which were created using the App Engine SDK use a custom domain name; custom domains are not parsed by Cloud Tasks. If host is not parsable, then service, version, and instance are the empty string. |
version |
string |
App version. By default, the task is sent to the version which is the default version when the task is attempted. For some queues or tasks which were created using the App Engine Task Queue API, host is not parsable into service, version, and instance. For example, some tasks which were created using the App Engine SDK use a custom domain name; custom domains are not parsed by Cloud Tasks.

instance |
string |
App instance. By default, the task is sent to an instance which is available when the task is attempted. Requests can only be sent to a specific instance if manual scaling is used in App Engine Standard. App Engine Flex does not support instances. For more information, see App Engine Standard request routing and App Engine Flex request routing. |

task |
Object |
Required. The task to add. Task names have the following format:
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 executed 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 executed. 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 executed. 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 |

HttpRequest
HTTP request.
The task will be pushed to the worker as an HTTP request. If the worker
or the redirected worker acknowledges the task by returning a successful HTTP
response code ([200
- 299
]), the task will removed from the queue. If
any other HTTP response code is returned or no response is received, the
task will be retried according to the following:
-
User-specified throttling: retry configuration, rate limits, and the queue's state.
-
System throttling: To prevent the worker from overloading, Cloud Tasks may temporarily reduce the queue's effective rate. User-specified settings will not be changed.
System throttling happens because:
-
Cloud Tasks backs off on all errors. Normally the backoff specified in rate limits will be used. But if the worker returns
429
(Too Many Requests),503
(Service Unavailable), or the rate of errors is high, Cloud Tasks will use a higher backoff rate. The retry specified in theRetry-After
HTTP response header is considered. -
To prevent traffic spikes and to smooth sudden large traffic spikes, dispatches ramp up slowly when the queue is newly created or idle and if large numbers of tasks suddenly become available to dispatch (due to spikes in create task rates, the queue being unpaused, or many tasks that are scheduled at the same time).
