Method: queryAssets

Issue a job that queries assets using a SQL statement compatible with BigQuery SQL.

If the query execution finishes within timeout and there's no pagination, the full query results will be returned in the QueryAssetsResponse.

Otherwise, full query results can be obtained by issuing extra requests with the jobReference from the a previous v1.queryAssets call.

Note, the query result has approximately 10 GB limitation enforced by BigQuery. Queries return larger results will result in errors.

HTTP request

POST https://cloudasset.googleapis.com/v1/{parent=*/*}:queryAssets

The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Path parameters

Parameters
parent

string

Required. The relative name of the root asset. This can only be an organization number (such as "organizations/123"), a project ID (such as "projects/my-project-id"), or a project number (such as "projects/12345"), or a folder number (such as "folders/123").

Only assets belonging to the parent will be returned.

Request body

The request body contains data with the following structure:

JSON representation 
{
  "pageSize": integer,
  "pageToken": string,
  "timeout": string,
  "outputConfig": {
    object (QueryAssetsOutputConfig)
  },

  // Union field query can be only one of the following:
  "statement": string,
  "jobReference": string
  // End of list of possible types for union field query.

  // Union field time can be only one of the following:
  "readTimeWindow": {
    object (TimeWindow)
  },
  "readTime": string
  // End of list of possible types for union field time.
}
Fields
pageSize

integer

Optional. The maximum number of rows to return in the results. Responses are limited to 10 MB and 1000 rows.

By default, the maximum row count is 1000. When the byte or row count limit is reached, the rest of the query results will be paginated.

The field will be ignored when [outputConfig] is specified.
pageToken

string

Optional. A page token received from previous v1.queryAssets.

The field will be ignored when [outputConfig] is specified.
timeout

string (Duration format)

Optional. Specifies the maximum amount of time that the client is willing to wait for the query to complete. By default, this limit is 5 min for the first query, and 1 minute for the following queries. If the query is complete, the done field in the QueryAssetsResponse is true, otherwise false.

Like BigQuery jobs.query API The call is not guaranteed to wait for the specified timeout; it typically returns after around 200 seconds (200,000 milliseconds), even if the query is not complete.

The field will be ignored when [outputConfig] is specified.

A duration in seconds with up to nine fractional digits, ending with 's'. Example: "3.5s".
outputConfig

object (QueryAssetsOutputConfig)

Optional. Destination where the query results will be saved.

When this field is specified, the query results won't be saved in the [QueryAssetsResponse.query_result]. Instead [QueryAssetsResponse.output_config] will be set.

Meanwhile, [QueryAssetsResponse.job_reference] will be set and can be used to check the status of the query job when passed to a following v1.queryAssets API call.

Union field query.

query can be only one of the following:
statement

string

Optional. A SQL statement that's compatible with BigQuery SQL.
jobReference

string

Optional. Reference to the query job, which is from the QueryAssetsResponse of previous v1.queryAssets call.
Union field time. Specifies what time period or point in time to query asset metadata at. * unset - query asset metadata as it is right now * [read_time_window] - query asset metadata as it was at any point in time between [start_time] and [end_time]. * [read_time] - query asset metadata as it was at that point in time. If data for the timestamp/date range selected does not exist, it will simply return a valid response with no rows. time can be only one of the following:
readTimeWindow

object (TimeWindow)

Optional. [startTime] is required. [startTime] must be less than [endTime] Defaults [endTime] to now if [startTime] is set and [endTime] isn't. Maximum permitted time range is 7 days.
readTime

string (Timestamp format)

Optional. Queries cloud assets as they appeared at the specified point in time.

A timestamp in RFC3339 UTC "Zulu" format, with nanosecond resolution and up to nine fractional digits. Examples: "2014-10-02T15:01:23Z" and "2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z".

Response body

v1.queryAssets response.

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

JSON representation 
{
  "jobReference": string,
  "done": boolean,

  // Union field response can be only one of the following:
  "error": {
    object (Status)
  },
  "queryResult": {
    object (QueryResult)
  },
  "outputConfig": {
    object (QueryAssetsOutputConfig)
  }
  // End of list of possible types for union field response.
}
Fields
jobReference

string

Reference to a query job.
done

boolean

The query response, which can be either an error or a valid response.

If done == false and the query result is being saved in a output, the outputConfig field will be set. If done == true, exactly one of error, queryResult or outputConfig will be set.

Union field response.

response can be only one of the following:
error

object (Status)

Error status.
queryResult

object (QueryResult)

Result of the query.
outputConfig

object (QueryAssetsOutputConfig)

Output configuration which indicates instead of being returned in API response on the fly, the query result will be saved in a specific output.

Fields
dataset

string

Required. The BigQuery dataset where the query results will be saved. It has the format of "projects/{projectId}/datasets/{datasetId}".
table

string

Required. The BigQuery table where the query results will be saved. If this table does not exist, a new table with the given name will be created.
writeDisposition

string

Specifies the action that occurs if the destination table or partition already exists. The following values are supported:

  • WRITE_TRUNCATE: If the table or partition already exists, BigQuery overwrites the entire table or all the partitions data.

  • WRITE_EMPTY: If the table already exists and contains data, a 'duplicate' error is returned in the job result.

The default value is WRITE_EMPTY.

QueryResult

Execution results of the query.

The result is formatted as rows represented by BigQuery compatible [schema]. When pagination is necessary, it will contains the page token to retrieve the results of following pages.
