Method: globalAddresses.list

Retrieves a list of global addresses.

HTTP request

GET https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/{project}/global/addresses

The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Path parameters

Parameters
project

string

Project ID for this request.

Query parameters

Parameters
maxResults

integer (uint32 format)

The maximum number of results per page that should be returned. If the number of available results is larger than maxResults, Compute Engine returns a nextPageToken that can be used to get the next page of results in subsequent list requests. Acceptable values are 0 to 500, inclusive. (Default: 500)
pageToken

string

Specifies a page token to use. Set pageToken to the nextPageToken returned by a previous list request to get the next page of results.
filter

string

A filter expression that filters resources listed in the response. Most Compute resources support two types of filter expressions: expressions that support regular expressions and expressions that follow API improvement proposal AIP-160. These two types of filter expressions cannot be mixed in one request.

If you want to use AIP-160, your expression must specify the field name, an operator, and the value that you want to use for filtering. The value must be a string, a number, or a boolean. The operator must be either =, !=, >, <, <=, >= or :.

For example, if you are filtering Compute Engine instances, you can exclude instances named example-instance by specifying name != example-instance.

The :* comparison can be used to test whether a key has been defined. For example, to find all objects with owner label use:

labels.owner:*

You can also filter nested fields. For example, you could specify scheduling.automaticRestart = false to include instances only if they are not scheduled for automatic restarts. You can use filtering on nested fields to filter based on resource labels.

To filter on multiple expressions, provide each separate expression within parentheses. For example:

(scheduling.automaticRestart = true)
(cpuPlatform = "Intel Skylake")

By default, each expression is an AND expression. However, you can include AND and OR expressions explicitly. For example:

(cpuPlatform = "Intel Skylake") OR
(cpuPlatform = "Intel Broadwell") AND
(scheduling.automaticRestart = true)

If you want to use a regular expression, use the eq (equal) or ne (not equal) operator against a single un-parenthesized expression with or without quotes or against multiple parenthesized expressions. Examples:

fieldname eq unquoted literal fieldname eq 'single quoted literal' fieldname eq "double quoted literal" (fieldname1 eq literal) (fieldname2 ne "literal")

The literal value is interpreted as a regular expression using Google RE2 library syntax. The literal value must match the entire field.

For example, to filter for instances that do not end with name "instance", you would use name ne .*instance.

You cannot combine constraints on multiple fields using regular expressions.
orderBy

string

Sorts list results by a certain order. By default, results are returned in alphanumerical order based on the resource name.

You can also sort results in descending order based on the creation timestamp using orderBy="creationTimestamp desc". This sorts results based on the creationTimestamp field in reverse chronological order (newest result first). Use this to sort resources like operations so that the newest operation is returned first.

Currently, only sorting by name or creationTimestamp desc is supported.
returnPartialSuccess

boolean

Opt-in for partial success behavior which provides partial results in case of failure. The default value is false.

For example, when partial success behavior is enabled, aggregatedList for a single zone scope either returns all resources in the zone or no resources, with an error code.

Request body

The request body must be empty.

Response body

Contains a list of addresses.

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

Fields
kind

string

[Output Only] Type of resource. Always compute#addressList for lists of addresses.
id

string

[Output Only] Unique identifier for the resource; defined by the server.
items[]

object

A list of Address resources.
items[].kind

string

[Output Only] Type of the resource. Always compute#address for addresses.
items[].id

string (uint64 format)

[Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.
items[].creationTimestamp

string

[Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
items[].name

string

Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?. The first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters (except for the last character) must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit. The last character must be a lowercase letter or digit.
items[].description

string

An optional description of this resource. Provide this field when you create the resource.
items[].address

string

The static IP address represented by this resource.
items[].prefixLength

integer

The prefix length if the resource represents an IP range.
items[].status

enum

[Output Only] The status of the address, which can be one of RESERVING, RESERVED, or IN_USE. An address that is RESERVING is currently in the process of being reserved. A RESERVED address is currently reserved and available to use. An IN_USE address is currently being used by another resource and is not available.
items[].region

string

[Output Only] The URL of the region where a regional address resides. For regional addresses, you must specify the region as a path parameter in the HTTP request URL. This field is not applicable to global addresses.
items[].selfLink

string

[Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource.
items[].users[]

string

[Output Only] The URLs of the resources that are using this address.
items[].networkTier

enum

This signifies the networking tier used for configuring this address and can only take the following values: PREMIUM or STANDARD. Internal IP addresses are always Premium Tier; global external IP addresses are always Premium Tier; regional external IP addresses can be either Standard or Premium Tier.

If this field is not specified, it is assumed to be PREMIUM.
items[].labels

map (key: string, value: string)

Labels for this resource. These can only be added or modified by the setLabels method. Each label key/value pair must comply with RFC1035. Label values may be empty.
items[].labelFingerprint

string (bytes format)

A fingerprint for the labels being applied to this Address, which is essentially a hash of the labels set used for optimistic locking. The fingerprint is initially generated by Compute Engine and changes after every request to modify or update labels. You must always provide an up-to-date fingerprint hash in order to update or change labels, otherwise the request will fail with error 412 conditionNotMet.

To see the latest fingerprint, make a get() request to retrieve an Address.

A base64-encoded string.
items[].ipVersion

enum

The IP version that will be used by this address. Valid options are IPV4 or IPV6.
items[].addressType

enum

The type of address to reserve, either INTERNAL or EXTERNAL. If unspecified, defaults to EXTERNAL.
items[].purpose

enum

The purpose of this resource, which can be one of the following values:

  • GCE_ENDPOINT for addresses that are used by VM instances, alias IP ranges, load balancers, and similar resources.
  • DNS_RESOLVER for a DNS resolver address in a subnetwork for a Cloud DNS inbound forwarder IP addresses (regional internal IP address in a subnet of a VPC network)
  • VPC_PEERING for global internal IP addresses used for private services access allocated ranges.
  • NAT_AUTO for the regional external IP addresses used by Cloud NAT when allocating addresses using automatic NAT IP address allocation.
  • IPSEC_INTERCONNECT for addresses created from a private IP range that are reserved for a VLAN attachment in an HA VPN over Cloud Interconnect configuration. These addresses are regional resources.
  • SHARED_LOADBALANCER_VIP for an internal IP address that is assigned to multiple internal forwarding rules.
  • PRIVATE_SERVICE_CONNECT for a private network address that is used to configure Private Service Connect. Only global internal addresses can use this purpose.
items[].subnetwork

string

The URL of the subnetwork in which to reserve the address. If an IP address is specified, it must be within the subnetwork's IP range. This field can only be used with INTERNAL type with a GCE_ENDPOINT or DNS_RESOLVER purpose.
items[].network

string

The URL of the network in which to reserve the address. This field can only be used with INTERNAL type with the VPC_PEERING purpose.
items[].ipv6EndpointType

enum

The endpoint type of this address, which should be VM or NETLB. This is used for deciding which type of endpoint this address can be used after the external IPv6 address reservation.
nextPageToken

string

[Output Only] This token allows you to get the next page of results for list requests. If the number of results is larger than maxResults, use the nextPageToken as a value for the query parameter pageToken in the next list request. Subsequent list requests will have their own nextPageToken to continue paging through the results.
warning

object

[Output Only] Informational warning message.
warning.code

enum

[Output Only] A warning code, if applicable. For example, Compute Engine returns NO_RESULTS_ON_PAGE if there are no results in the response.
