HTTP request

GET https://www.googleapis.com/compute/beta/projects/{project}/zones/{zone}/instanceGroups/{resourceId}

The URL uses Google API HTTP annotation syntax.

Path parameters

Parameters
project	string Project ID for this request.
zone	string The name of the zone where the instance group is located.
resourceId	string The name of the instance group. Authorization requires the following Google IAM permission on the specified resource resource_id: compute.instanceGroups.get

Request body

The request body must be empty.

Response body

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

JSON representation
{ "resource": { "id": string, "creationTimestamp": string, "name": string, "description": string, "namedPorts": { "name": string, "port": number }, "network": string, "fingerprint": string, "zone": string, "selfLink": string, "size": number, "region": string, "subnetwork": string, "kind": string }, }

Fields
resource	object
resource.id	string (fixed64 format) [Output Only] A unique identifier for this instance group, generated by the server.
resource.creationTimestamp	string [Output Only] The creation timestamp for this instance group in RFC3339 text format.
resource.name	string The name of the instance group. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035.
resource.description	string An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
resource.namedPorts[]	object Assigns a name to a port number. For example: {name: "http", port: 80} This allows the system to reference ports by the assigned name instead of a port number. Named ports can also contain multiple ports. For example: [{name: "http", port: 80},{name: "http", port: 8080}] Named ports apply to all instances in this instance group.
resource.namedPorts[].name	string The name for this named port. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035.
resource.namedPorts[].port	number The port number, which can be a value between 1 and 65535.
resource.network	string The URL of the network to which all instances in the instance group belong.
resource.fingerprint	string (bytes format) [Output Only] The fingerprint of the named ports. The system uses this fingerprint to detect conflicts when multiple users change the named ports concurrently. A base64-encoded string.
resource.zone	string [Output Only] The URL of the zone where the instance group is located (for zonal resources).
resource.selfLink	string [Output Only] The URL for this instance group. The server generates this URL.
resource.size	number [Output Only] The total number of instances in the instance group.
resource.region	string [Output Only] The URL of the region where the instance group is located (for regional resources).
resource.subnetwork	string [Output Only] The URL of the subnetwork to which all instances in the instance group belong.
resource.kind	string [Output Only] The resource type, which is always compute#instanceGroup for instance groups.
