Returns the specified network. Gets a list of available networks by making a list() request.

HTTP request

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

The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Path parameters

Parameters
project	string Project ID for this request.
resourceId	string Name of the network to return.

Request body

The request body must be empty.

Response body

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

JSON representation

{ "id": string, "creationTimestamp": string, "name": string, "description": string, "IPv4Range": string, "gatewayIPv4": string, "selfLink": string, "autoCreateSubnetworks": boolean, "subnetworks": [ string ], "peerings": [ { "name": string, "network": string, "state": enum, "stateDetails": string, "autoCreateRoutes": boolean, "exportCustomRoutes": boolean, "importCustomRoutes": boolean, "exchangeSubnetRoutes": boolean } ], "routingConfig": { "routingMode": enum }, "kind": string }

Fields
id	string (fixed64 format) [Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.
creationTimestamp	string [Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
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?. 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.
description	string An optional description of this resource. Provide this field when you create the resource.
IPv4Range (deprecated)	string This item is deprecated! Deprecated in favor of subnet mode networks. The range of internal addresses that are legal on this network. This range is a CIDR specification, for example: 192.168.0.0/16. Provided by the client when the network is created.
gatewayIPv4	string [Output Only] The gateway address for default routing out of the network, selected by GCP.
selfLink	string [Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource.
autoCreateSubnetworks	boolean When set to true, the VPC network is created in "auto" mode. When set to false, the VPC network is created in "custom" mode. An auto mode VPC network starts with one subnet per region. Each subnet has a predetermined range as described in Auto mode VPC network IP ranges.
subnetworks[]	string [Output Only] Server-defined fully-qualified URLs for all subnetworks in this VPC network.
peerings[]	object [Output Only] A list of network peerings for the resource.
peerings[].name	string Name of this peering. Provided by the client when the peering is created. The name must comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?. The first character must be a lowercase letter, and all the following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.
peerings[].network	string The URL of the peer network. It can be either full URL or partial URL. The peer network may belong to a different project. If the partial URL does not contain project, it is assumed that the peer network is in the same project as the current network.
peerings[].state	enum [Output Only] State for the peering, either ACTIVE or INACTIVE. The peering is ACTIVE when there's a matching configuration in the peer network.
peerings[].stateDetails	string [Output Only] Details about the current state of the peering.
peerings[].autoCreateRoutes	boolean This field will be deprecated soon. Use the exchangeSubnetRoutes field instead. Indicates whether full mesh connectivity is created and managed automatically between peered networks. Currently this field should always be true since Google Compute Engine will automatically create and manage subnetwork routes between two networks when peering state is ACTIVE.
peerings[].exportCustomRoutes	boolean Whether to export the custom routes to peer network.
peerings[].importCustomRoutes	boolean Whether to import the custom routes from peer network.
peerings[].exchangeSubnetRoutes	boolean Indicates whether full mesh connectivity is created and managed automatically between peered networks. Currently this field should always be true since Google Compute Engine will automatically create and manage subnetwork routes between two networks when peering state is ACTIVE.
routingConfig	object The network-level routing configuration for this network. Used by Cloud Router to determine what type of network-wide routing behavior to enforce.
routingConfig.routingMode	enum The network-wide routing mode to use. If set to REGIONAL, this network's Cloud Routers will only advertise routes with subnets of this network in the same region as the router. If set to GLOBAL, this network's Cloud Routers will advertise routes with all subnets of this network, across regions.
kind	string [Output Only] Type of the resource. Always compute#network for networks.

Authorization Scopes

Requires one of the following OAuth scopes:
