API Reference

This API reference is organized by resource type. Each resource type has one or more data representations and one or more methods.

Alpha

This is an alpha release of the Task Queue REST API. This API might be changed in backward-incompatible ways and is not subject to any SLA or deprecation policy. This API is not intended for real-time usage in critical applications.

You should instead sign up to use the alpha version of Google Cloud Tasks. Cloud Tasks is the next generation of the Task Queue service, which you can use to enqueue operations for asynchronous execution.
