Method: urlMaps.update

Updates the specified UrlMap resource with the data included in the request.

HTTP request

PUT https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/beta/projects/{project}/global/urlMaps/{urlMap}

The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Path parameters

Parameters
project

string

Project ID for this request.
urlMap

string

Name of the UrlMap resource to update.

Query parameters

Parameters
requestId

string

An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed.

For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.

The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).

If defaultRouteAction is also specified, advanced routing actions, such as URL rewrites, take effect before sending the request to the backend. However, if defaultService is specified, defaultRouteAction cannot contain any weightedBackendServices. Conversely, if defaultRouteAction specifies any weightedBackendServices, defaultService must not be specified.

If defaultService is specified, then set either defaultUrlRedirect or defaultRouteAction.weightedBackendService. Don't set both.

defaultRouteAction takes effect when none of the pathRules or routeRules match. The load balancer performs advanced routing actions, such as URL rewrites and header transformations, before forwarding the request to the selected backend. If defaultRouteAction specifies any weightedBackendServices, defaultService must not be set. Conversely if defaultService is set, defaultRouteAction cannot contain any weightedBackendServices.

If defaultRouteAction is specified, don't set defaultUrlRedirect. If defaultRouteAction.weightedBackendServices is specified, don't set defaultService.

Specifies the fraction of traffic sent to a backend service, computed as weight / (sum of all weightedBackendService weights in routeAction) .

The selection of a backend service is determined only for new traffic. Once a user's request has been directed to a backend service, subsequent requests are sent to the same backend service as determined by the backend service's session affinity policy. Don't configure session affinity if you're using weighted traffic splitting. If you do, the weighted traffic splitting configuration takes precedence.

The value must be from 0 to 1000.
pathMatchers[].defaultRouteAction.weightedBackendServices[].headerAction

A corresponding pathTemplateMatch must be specified. Any template variables must exist in the pathTemplateMatch field.

  • -At least one variable must be specified in the pathTemplateMatch field
  • You can omit variables from the rewritten URL
  • The * and ** operators cannot be matched unless they have a corresponding variable name - e.g. {format=*} or {var=**}.

For example, a pathTemplateMatch of /static/{format=**} could be rewritten as /static/content/{format} to prefix /content to the URL. Variables can also be re-ordered in a rewrite, so that /{country}/{format}/{suffix=**} can be rewritten as /content/{format}/{country}/{suffix}.

At least one non-empty routeRules[].matchRules[].path_template_match is required.

Only one of pathPrefixRewrite or pathTemplateRewrite may be specified.

  • 5xx: retry is attempted if the instance or endpoint responds with any 5xx response code, or if the instance or endpoint does not respond at all. For example, disconnects, reset, read timeout, connection failure, and refused streams.
  • gateway-error: Similar to 5xx, but only applies to response codes 502, 503 or 504.
  • connect-failure: a retry is attempted on failures connecting to the instance or endpoint. For example, connection timeouts.
  • retriable-4xx: a retry is attempted if the instance or endpoint responds with a 4xx response code. The only error that you can retry is error code 409.
  • refused-stream: a retry is attempted if the instance or endpoint resets the stream with a REFUSED_STREAM error code. This reset type indicates that it is safe to retry.

pathMatchers[].defaultUrlRedirect.prefixRedirect

string

The prefix that replaces the prefixMatch specified in the HttpRouteRuleMatch, retaining the remaining portion of the URL before redirecting the request.

If set to true, any accompanying query portion of the original URL is removed before redirecting the request. If set to false, the query portion of the original URL is retained.

The default is set to false.

pathMatchers[].pathRules[]

object

The list of path rules. Use this list instead of routeRules when routing based on simple path matching is all that's required. The order by which path rules are specified does not matter. Matches are always done on the longest-path-first basis.

For example: a pathRule with a path /a/b/c/* will match before /a/b/* irrespective of the order in which those paths appear in this list.

Within a given pathMatcher, only one of pathRules or routeRules must be set.
pathMatchers[].pathRules[].service

string

URL maps for classic Application Load Balancers only support the urlRewrite action within a path rule's routeAction.
pathMatchers[].pathRules[].routeAction.weightedBackendServices[]

object

A list of weighted backend services to send traffic to when a route match occurs. The weights determine the fraction of traffic that flows to their corresponding backend service. If all traffic needs to go to a single backend service, there must be one weightedBackendService with weight set to a non-zero number.

After a backend service is identified and before forwarding the request to the backend service, advanced routing actions such as URL rewrites and header transformations are applied depending on additional settings specified in this HttpRouteAction.

  • compute.backendServices.use
pathMatchers[].pathRules[].routeAction.weightedBackendServices[].weight

integer (uint32 format)

Specifies the fraction of traffic sent to a backend service, computed as weight / (sum of all weightedBackendService weights in routeAction) .

The selection of a backend service is determined only for new traffic. Once a user's request has been directed to a backend service, subsequent requests are sent to the same backend service as determined by the backend service's session affinity policy. Don't configure session affinity if you're using weighted traffic splitting. If you do, the weighted traffic splitting configuration takes precedence.

pathMatchers[].pathRules[].customErrorResponsePolicy

object

customErrorResponsePolicy specifies how the Load Balancer returns error responses when BackendServiceor BackendBucket responds with an error.

If a policy for an error code is not configured for the PathRule, a policy for the error code configured in pathMatcher.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy is applied. If one is not specified in pathMatcher.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy, the policy configured in UrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy takes effect.

For example, consider a UrlMap with the following configuration:

  • UrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy are configured with policies for 5xx and 4xx errors
  • A PathRule for /coming_soon/ is configured for the error code 404.

If the request is for www.myotherdomain.com and a 404 is encountered, the policy under UrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy takes effect. If a 404 response is encountered for the request www.example.com/current_events/, the pathMatcher's policy takes effect. If however, the request for www.example.com/coming_soon/ encounters a 404, the policy in PathRule.customErrorResponsePolicy takes effect. If any of the requests in this example encounter a 500 error code, the policy at UrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy takes effect.

customErrorResponsePolicy is supported only for global external Application Load Balancers.
pathMatchers[].pathRules[].customErrorResponsePolicy.errorResponseRules[]

object

Specifies rules for returning error responses.

In a given policy, if you specify rules for both a range of error codes as well as rules for specific error codes then rules with specific error codes have a higher priority. For example, assume that you configure a rule for 401 (Un-authorized) code, and another for all 4 series error codes (4XX). If the backend service returns a 401, then the rule for 401 will be applied. However if the backend service returns a 403, the rule for 4xx takes effect.
pathMatchers[].pathRules[].customErrorResponsePolicy.errorResponseRules[].matchResponseCodes[]

string

Valid values include:

  • A number between 400 and 599: For example 401 or 503, in which case the load balancer applies the policy if the error code exactly matches this value.
  • 5xx: Load Balancer will apply the policy if the backend service responds with any response code in the range of 500 to 599.
  • 4xx: Load Balancer will apply the policy if the backend service responds with any response code in the range of 400 to 499.

The value must be from 1 to 1024 characters
pathMatchers[].pathRules[].customErrorResponsePolicy.errorResponseRules[].overrideResponseCode

integer

The HTTP status code returned with the response containing the custom error content. If overrideResponseCode is not supplied, the same response code returned by the original backend bucket or backend service is returned to the client.
pathMatchers[].pathRules[].customErrorResponsePolicy.errorService

string

The full or partial URL to the BackendBucket resource that contains the custom error content. Examples are:

If errorService is not specified at lower levels like pathMatcher, pathRule and routeRule, an errorService specified at a higher level in the UrlMap will be used. If UrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy contains one or more errorResponseRules[], it must specify errorService.

If load balancer cannot reach the backendBucket, a simple Not Found Error will be returned, with the original response code (or overrideResponseCode if configured).

errorService is not supported for internal or regional HTTP/HTTPS load balancers.

Authorization requires one or more of the following IAM permissions on the specified resource errorService:

  • compute.backendBuckets.use
  • compute.backendServices.use
pathMatchers[].routeRules[]

object

The list of HTTP route rules. Use this list instead of pathRules when advanced route matching and routing actions are desired. routeRules are evaluated in order of priority, from the lowest to highest number.

Within a given pathMatcher, you can set only one of pathRules or routeRules.
pathMatchers[].routeRules[].priority

integer

For routeRules within a given pathMatcher, priority determines the order in which a load balancer interprets routeRules. RouteRules are evaluated in order of priority, from the lowest to highest number. The priority of a rule decreases as its number increases (1, 2, 3, N+1). The first rule that matches the request is applied.

You cannot configure two or more routeRules with the same priority. Priority for each rule must be set to a number from 0 to 2147483647 inclusive.

Priority numbers can have gaps, which enable you to add or remove rules in the future without affecting the rest of the rules. For example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 12, 16 is a valid series of priority numbers to which you could add rules numbered from 6 to 8, 10 to 11, and 13 to 15 in the future without any impact on existing rules.

pathMatchers[].routeRules[].customErrorResponsePolicy

object

customErrorResponsePolicy specifies how the Load Balancer returns error responses when BackendServiceor BackendBucket responds with an error.

If a policy for an error code is not configured for the RouteRule, a policy for the error code configured in pathMatcher.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy is applied. If one is not specified in pathMatcher.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy, the policy configured in UrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy takes effect.

For example, consider a UrlMap with the following configuration:

  • UrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy are configured with policies for 5xx and 4xx errors
  • A RouteRule for /coming_soon/ is configured for the error code 404.

If the request is for www.myotherdomain.com and a 404 is encountered, the policy under UrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy takes effect. If a 404 response is encountered for the request www.example.com/current_events/, the pathMatcher's policy takes effect. If however, the request for www.example.com/coming_soon/ encounters a 404, the policy in RouteRule.customErrorResponsePolicy takes effect. If any of the requests in this example encounter a 500 error code, the policy at UrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy takes effect.

When used in conjunction with routeRules.routeAction.retryPolicy, retries take precedence. Only once all retries are exhausted, the customErrorResponsePolicy is applied. While attempting a retry, if load balancer is successful in reaching the service, the customErrorResponsePolicy is ignored and the response from the service is returned to the client.

customErrorResponsePolicy is supported only for global external Application Load Balancers.
pathMatchers[].routeRules[].customErrorResponsePolicy.errorResponseRules[]

object

Specifies rules for returning error responses.

In a given policy, if you specify rules for both a range of error codes as well as rules for specific error codes then rules with specific error codes have a higher priority. For example, assume that you configure a rule for 401 (Un-authorized) code, and another for all 4 series error codes (4XX). If the backend service returns a 401, then the rule for 401 will be applied. However if the backend service returns a 403, the rule for 4xx takes effect.
pathMatchers[].routeRules[].customErrorResponsePolicy.errorResponseRules[].matchResponseCodes[]

string

Valid values include:

  • A number between 400 and 599: For example 401 or 503, in which case the load balancer applies the policy if the error code exactly matches this value.
  • 5xx: Load Balancer will apply the policy if the backend service responds with any response code in the range of 500 to 599.
  • 4xx: Load Balancer will apply the policy if the backend service responds with any response code in the range of 400 to 499.

Values must be unique within matchResponseCodes and across all errorResponseRules of CustomErrorResponsePolicy.
pathMatchers[].routeRules[].customErrorResponsePolicy.errorResponseRules[].path

The value must be from 1 to 1024 characters
pathMatchers[].routeRules[].customErrorResponsePolicy.errorResponseRules[].overrideResponseCode

integer

The HTTP status code returned with the response containing the custom error content. If overrideResponseCode is not supplied, the same response code returned by the original backend bucket or backend service is returned to the client.
pathMatchers[].routeRules[].customErrorResponsePolicy.errorService

string

The full or partial URL to the BackendBucket resource that contains the custom error content. Examples are:

If errorService is not specified at lower levels like pathMatcher, pathRule and routeRule, an errorService specified at a higher level in the UrlMap will be used. If UrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy contains one or more errorResponseRules[], it must specify errorService.

If load balancer cannot reach the backendBucket, a simple Not Found Error will be returned, with the original response code (or overrideResponseCode if configured).

If false, headerValue is appended to any values that already exist for the header. If true, headerValue is set for the header, discarding any values that were set for that header.

The default value is false.
pathMatchers[].defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy

object

defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy specifies how the Load Balancer returns error responses when BackendServiceor BackendBucket responds with an error.

This policy takes effect at the PathMatcher level and applies only when no policy has been defined for the error code at lower levels like RouteRule and PathRule within this PathMatcher. If an error code does not have a policy defined in defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy, then a policy defined for the error code in UrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy takes effect.

For example, consider a UrlMap with the following configuration:

  • UrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy is configured with policies for 5xx and 4xx errors
  • A RouteRule for /coming_soon/ is configured for the error code 404.

If the request is for www.myotherdomain.com and a 404 is encountered, the policy under UrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy takes effect. If a 404 response is encountered for the request www.example.com/current_events/, the pathMatcher's policy takes effect. If however, the request for www.example.com/coming_soon/ encounters a 404, the policy in RouteRule.customErrorResponsePolicy takes effect. If any of the requests in this example encounter a 500 error code, the policy at UrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy takes effect.

When used in conjunction with pathMatcher.defaultRouteAction.retryPolicy, retries take precedence. Only once all retries are exhausted, the defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy is applied. While attempting a retry, if load balancer is successful in reaching the service, the defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy is ignored and the response from the service is returned to the client.

defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy is supported only for global external Application Load Balancers.
pathMatchers[].defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy.errorResponseRules[]

object

Specifies rules for returning error responses.

In a given policy, if you specify rules for both a range of error codes as well as rules for specific error codes then rules with specific error codes have a higher priority. For example, assume that you configure a rule for 401 (Un-authorized) code, and another for all 4 series error codes (4XX). If the backend service returns a 401, then the rule for 401 will be applied. However if the backend service returns a 403, the rule for 4xx takes effect.
pathMatchers[].defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy.errorResponseRules[].matchResponseCodes[]

string

Valid values include:

  • A number between 400 and 599: For example 401 or 503, in which case the load balancer applies the policy if the error code exactly matches this value.
  • 5xx: Load Balancer will apply the policy if the backend service responds with any response code in the range of 500 to 599.
  • 4xx: Load Balancer will apply the policy if the backend service responds with any response code in the range of 400 to 499.

Values must be unique within matchResponseCodes and across all errorResponseRules of CustomErrorResponsePolicy.
pathMatchers[].defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy.errorResponseRules[].path

string

The full path to a file within backendBucket . For example: /errors/defaultError.html

path must start with a leading slash. path cannot have trailing slashes.

If the file is not available in backendBucket or the load balancer cannot reach the BackendBucket, a simple Not Found Error is returned to the client.

The value must be from 1 to 1024 characters
pathMatchers[].defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy.errorResponseRules[].overrideResponseCode

integer

The HTTP status code returned with the response containing the custom error content. If overrideResponseCode is not supplied, the same response code returned by the original backend bucket or backend service is returned to the client.
pathMatchers[].defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy.errorService

string

The full or partial URL to the BackendBucket resource that contains the custom error content. Examples are:

If errorService is not specified at lower levels like pathMatcher, pathRule and routeRule, an errorService specified at a higher level in the UrlMap will be used. If UrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy contains one or more errorResponseRules[], it must specify errorService.

If load balancer cannot reach the backendBucket, a simple Not Found Error will be returned, with the original response code (or overrideResponseCode if configured).

errorService is not supported for internal or regional HTTP/HTTPS load balancers.

Authorization requires one or more of the following IAM permissions on the specified resource errorService:

  • compute.backendBuckets.use
  • compute.backendServices.use

The service field cannot be set if expectedRedirectResponseCode is set.
tests[].expectedOutputUrl

string

The expected output URL evaluated by the load balancer containing the scheme, host, path and query parameters.

For rules that forward requests to backends, the test passes only when expectedOutputUrl matches the request forwarded by the load balancer to backends. For rules with urlRewrite, the test verifies that the forwarded request matches hostRewrite and pathPrefixRewrite in the urlRewrite action. When service is specified, expectedOutputUrl`s scheme is ignored.

For rules with urlRedirect, the test passes only if expectedOutputUrl matches the URL in the load balancer's redirect response. If urlRedirect specifies httpsRedirect, the test passes only if the scheme in expectedOutputUrl is also set to HTTPS. If urlRedirect specifies stripQuery, the test passes only if expectedOutputUrl does not contain any query parameters.

expectedOutputUrl is optional when service is specified.
tests[].expectedRedirectResponseCode

integer

For rules with urlRedirect, the test passes only if expectedRedirectResponseCode matches the HTTP status code in load balancer's redirect response.

expectedRedirectResponseCode cannot be set when service is set.
defaultService

string

The full or partial URL of the defaultService resource to which traffic is directed if none of the hostRules match. If defaultRouteAction is also specified, advanced routing actions, such as URL rewrites, take effect before sending the request to the backend. However, if defaultService is specified, defaultRouteAction cannot contain any defaultRouteAction.weightedBackendServices. Conversely, if defaultRouteAction specifies any defaultRouteAction.weightedBackendServices, defaultService must not be specified.

If defaultService is specified, then set either defaultUrlRedirect , or defaultRouteAction.weightedBackendService Don't set both.

defaultService has no effect when the URL map is bound to a target gRPC proxy that has the validateForProxyless field set to true.

Authorization requires one or more of the following IAM permissions on the specified resource defaultService:

  • compute.backendBuckets.use

defaultRouteAction.weightedBackendServices[].weight

integer (uint32 format)

Specifies the fraction of traffic sent to a backend service, computed as weight / (sum of all weightedBackendService weights in routeAction) .

The selection of a backend service is determined only for new traffic. Once a user's request has been directed to a backend service, subsequent requests are sent to the same backend service as determined by the backend service's session affinity policy. Don't configure session affinity if you're using weighted traffic splitting. If you do, the weighted traffic splitting configuration takes precedence.

The value must be from 0 to 1000.
defaultRouteAction.weightedBackendServices[].headerAction

object

defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy

object

defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy specifies how the Load Balancer returns error responses when BackendServiceor BackendBucket responds with an error.

This policy takes effect at the load balancer level and applies only when no policy has been defined for the error code at lower levels like PathMatcher, RouteRule and PathRule within this UrlMap.

For example, consider a UrlMap with the following configuration:

  • defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy containing policies for responding to 5xx and 4xx errors
  • A PathMatcher configured for *.example.com has defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy for 4xx.

If a request for http://www.example.com/ encounters a 404, the policy in pathMatcher.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy will be enforced. When the request for http://www.example.com/ encounters a 502, the policy in UrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy will be enforced. When a request that does not match any host in *.example.com such as http://www.myotherexample.com/, encounters a 404, UrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy takes effect.

When used in conjunction with defaultRouteAction.retryPolicy, retries take precedence. Only once all retries are exhausted, the defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy is applied. While attempting a retry, if load balancer is successful in reaching the service, the defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy is ignored and the response from the service is returned to the client.

defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy is supported only for global external Application Load Balancers.
defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy.errorResponseRules[]

object

Specifies rules for returning error responses.

In a given policy, if you specify rules for both a range of error codes as well as rules for specific error codes then rules with specific error codes have a higher priority. For example, assume that you configure a rule for 401 (Un-authorized) code, and another for all 4 series error codes (4XX). If the backend service returns a 401, then the rule for 401 will be applied. However if the backend service returns a 403, the rule for 4xx takes effect.
defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy.errorResponseRules[].matchResponseCodes[]

string

Valid values include:

  • A number between 400 and 599: For example 401 or 503, in which case the load balancer applies the policy if the error code exactly matches this value.
  • 5xx: Load Balancer will apply the policy if the backend service responds with any response code in the range of 500 to 599.
  • 4xx: Load Balancer will apply the policy if the backend service responds with any response code in the range of 400 to 499.

Values must be unique within matchResponseCodes and across all errorResponseRules of CustomErrorResponsePolicy.
defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy.errorResponseRules[].path

string

The full path to a file within backendBucket . For example: /errors/defaultError.html

The value must be from 1 to 1024 characters
defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy.errorResponseRules[].overrideResponseCode

integer

The HTTP status code returned with the response containing the custom error content. If overrideResponseCode is not supplied, the same response code returned by the original backend bucket or backend service is returned to the client.
defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy.errorService

string

The full or partial URL to the BackendBucket resource that contains the custom error content. Examples are:

If errorService is not specified at lower levels like pathMatcher, pathRule and routeRule, an errorService specified at a higher level in the UrlMap will be used. If UrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy contains one or more errorResponseRules[], it must specify errorService.

If load balancer cannot reach the backendBucket, a simple Not Found Error will be returned, with the original response code (or overrideResponseCode if configured).

errorService is not supported for internal or regional HTTP/HTTPS load balancers.

Authorization requires one or more of the following IAM permissions on the specified resource errorService:

  • compute.backendBuckets.use
  • compute.backendServices.use
fingerprint

string (bytes format)

[Output Only] URL of the region where the regional URL map resides. This field is not applicable to global URL maps. You must specify this field as part of the HTTP request URL. It is not settable as a field in the request body.

Response body

Represents an Operation resource.

Google Compute Engine has three Operation resources:

You can use an operation resource to manage asynchronous API requests. For more information, read Handling API responses.

Operations can be global, regional or zonal.

  • For global operations, use the globalOperations resource.
  • For regional operations, use the regionOperations resource.
  • For zonal operations, use the zoneOperations resource.

For more information, read Global, Regional, and Zonal Resources.

Note that completed Operation resources have a limited retention period.

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

statusMessage

string

[Output Only] An optional textual description of the current status of the operation.
user

string

[Output Only] User who requested the operation, for example: user@example.com or alice_smith_identifier (global/workforcePools/example-com-us-employees).
progress

integer

[Output Only] An optional progress indicator that ranges from 0 to 100. There is no requirement that this be linear or support any granularity of operations. This should not be used to guess when the operation will be complete. This number should monotonically increase as the operation progresses.
insertTime

string

[Output Only] The time that this operation was requested. This value is in RFC3339 text format.
startTime

string

[Output Only] The time that this operation was started by the server. This value is in RFC3339 text format.
endTime

string

[Output Only] The time that this operation was completed. This value is in RFC3339 text format.
error

object

[Output Only] If errors are generated during processing of the operation, this field will be populated.
error.errors[]

object

[Output Only] The array of errors encountered while processing this operation.
error.errors[].code

string

[Output Only] The error type identifier for this error.
error.errors[].location

string

[Output Only] Indicates the field in the request that caused the error. This property is optional.
error.errors[].message

string

[Output Only] An optional, human-readable error message.
error.errors[].errorDetails[]

object

[Output Only] An optional list of messages that contain the error details. There is a set of defined message types to use for providing details.The syntax depends on the error code. For example, QuotaExceededInfo will have details when the error code is QUOTA_EXCEEDED.

object
error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo.reason

string

The reason of the error. This is a constant value that identifies the proximate cause of the error. Error reasons are unique within a particular domain of errors. This should be at most 63 characters and match a regular expression of [A-Z][A-Z0-9_]+[A-Z0-9], which represents UPPER_SNAKE_CASE.
error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo.domain

string

The logical grouping to which the "reason" belongs. The error domain is typically the registered service name of the tool or product that generates the error. Example: "pubsub.googleapis.com". If the error is generated by some common infrastructure, the error domain must be a globally unique value that identifies the infrastructure. For Google API infrastructure, the error domain is "googleapis.com".
error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo.metadatas

map (key: string, value: string)

Additional structured details about this error.

Keys must match /[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9-_]+/ but should ideally be lowerCamelCase. Also they must be limited to 64 characters in length. When identifying the current value of an exceeded limit, the units should be contained in the key, not the value. For example, rather than {"instanceLimit": "100/request"}, should be returned as, {"instanceLimitPerRequest": "100"}, if the client exceeds the number of instances that can be created in a single (batch) request.
