HTTP request

GET https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/{project}/zones/{zone}/targetInstances/{resourceId}

The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Path parameters

Parameters
project	string Project ID for this request.
zone	string Name of the zone scoping this request.
resourceId	string Name of the TargetInstance resource to return.

Request body

The request body must be empty.

Response body

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

A TargetInstance resource. This resource defines an endpoint instance that terminates traffic of certain protocols.

JSON representation
{ "id": string, "creationTimestamp": string, "name": string, "description": string, "zone": string, "natPolicy": enum, "instance": string, "selfLink": string, "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]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.
description	string An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
zone	string [Output Only] URL of the zone where the target instance resides. You must specify this field as part of the HTTP request URL. It is not settable as a field in the request body.
natPolicy	enum NAT option controlling how IPs are NAT'ed to the instance. Currently only NO_NAT (default value) is supported.
instance	string A URL to the virtual machine instance that handles traffic for this target instance. When creating a target instance, you can provide the fully-qualified URL or a valid partial URL to the desired virtual machine. For example, the following are all valid URLs: https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/project/zones/zone/instances/instance projects/project/zones/zone/instances/instance zones/zone/instances/instance
selfLink	string [Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource.
kind	string [Output Only] The type of the resource. Always compute#targetInstance for target instances.
