Identifier. The resource name of the transfer config. Transfer config names have the form either projects/{projectId}/locations/{region}/transferConfigs/{configId} or projects/{projectId}/transferConfigs/{configId}, where configId is usually a UUID, even though it is not guaranteed or required. The name is ignored when creating a transfer config.
Query parameters
Parameters
authorizationCode (deprecated)
string
Deprecated: Authorization code was required when transferConfig.dataSourceId is 'youtube_channel' but it is no longer used in any data sources. Use versionInfo instead.
Optional OAuth2 authorization code to use with this transfer configuration. This is required only if transferConfig.dataSourceId is 'youtube_channel' and new credentials are needed, as indicated by dataSources.checkValidCreds.

Required. Required list of fields to be updated in this request.
This is a comma-separated list of fully qualified names of fields. Example: "user.displayName,photo".
versionInfo
string
Optional version info. This parameter replaces authorizationCode which is no longer used in any data sources. This is required only if transferConfig.dataSourceId is 'youtube_channel' or new credentials are needed, as indicated by dataSources.checkValidCreds. In order to obtain version info, make a request to the following URL:
The clientId is the OAuth clientId of the data source as returned by dataSources.list method.
data_source_scopes are the scopes returned by dataSources.list method.
Note that this should not be set when serviceAccountName is used to update the transfer config.
serviceAccountName
string
