Managing Topics and Subscriptions

This document gives an overview of how to manage topics and subscriptions in Google Cloud Pub/Sub.

Managing Topics

You can create, delete, and view topics using the API, the Cloud Platform Console, or the gcloud command-line tool for a complete list of Google Cloud Pub/Sub gcloud commands.

For an introduction to the Cloud Platform Console, see the Cloud Platform Console Quickstart.

Create a topic

You must first create a topic before you can publish or subscribe to it. Here is an example showing how to create a topic:

Protocol

Request:

PUT https://pubsub.googleapis.com/v1/projects/myproject/topics/mytopic

Response:

200 OK
{
 "name": "projects/myproject/topics/mytopic"
}

GCLOUD

  gcloud beta pubsub topics create myTopic

C#

For more on installing and creating a Cloud Pub/Sub client, refer to Cloud Pub/Sub Client Libraries. 

TopicName topicName = new TopicName(projectId, topicId);
try
{
    publisher.CreateTopic(topicName);
}
catch (RpcException e)
when (e.Status.StatusCode == StatusCode.AlreadyExists)
{
    // Already exists.  That's fine.
}

Go

  TopicName topicName = TopicName.create(projectId, topicId);
  Topic topic = topicAdminClient.createTopic(topicName);
  return topic;
}

    topic_path = publisher.topic_path(project, topic_name)

    topic = publisher.create_topic(topic_path)

    print('Topic created: {}'.format(topic))

Ruby

Protocol

Request:

DELETE https://pubsub.googleapis.com/v1/projects/myproject/topics/mytopic

Response:

200 OK
{

Managing Subscriptions

This section covers how to create and manage push, pull subscriptions. For an overview and comparison of pull and push subscriptions, see the Subscriber Overview.

Create a Pull Subscription

You must create a subscription to a topic before subscribers can receive messages published to the subscription. You can create a subscription using the Google Cloud Platform Console UI or the gcloud command-line tool, as described in the gcloud Quickstart. Also see the gcloud reference for subscriber commands.

Protocol

Request:

PUT https://pubsub.googleapis.com/v1/projects/myproject/subscriptions/mysubscription
{
  "topic": "projects/someproject/topics/sometopic"
  // Only needed if you are using push delivery
  "pushConfig": {
    "pushEndpoint": "https://myproject.appspot.com/myhandler"
  }
}

Response:

200 OK
{
  "name": "projects/myproject/subscriptions/mysubscription",

  "pushConfig": {
    "pushEndpoint": "https://myproject.appspot.com/myhandler"

pubsub = Google::Cloud::Pubsub.new project: "my-gcp-project-id"
topic  = pubsub.topic "my-topic"

subscription = topic.subscribe "my-subscription"

puts "Subscription created #{subscription.name}"

Create a Push Subscription

You can create push subscriptions by providing an HTTP endpoint URL, as shown in these examples:

GCLOUD

   gcloud beta pubsub subscriptions create mySubscription --topic myTopic --push-endpoint="https://myapp.appspot.com/push"

Java

For more on installing and creating a Cloud Pub/Sub client, refer to Cloud Pub/Sub Client Libraries. 

try (SubscriptionAdminClient subscriptionAdminClient = SubscriptionAdminClient.create()) {
  TopicName topicName = TopicName.create(projectId, topicId);
  SubscriptionName subscriptionName =
          SubscriptionName.create(projectId, subscriptionId);

  // eg. endpoint = "https://my-test-project.appspot.com/push"
  PushConfig pushConfig = PushConfig.newBuilder().setPushEndpoint(endpoint).build();

  // acknowledgement deadline in seconds for the message received over the push endpoint
  int ackDeadlineInSeconds = 10;

  Subscription subscription =
          subscriptionAdminClient.createSubscription(
                  subscriptionName, topicName, pushConfig, ackDeadlineInSeconds);
  return subscription;
}

Go

For more on installing and creating a Cloud Pub/Sub client, refer to Cloud Pub/Sub Client Libraries. 

// For example, endpoint is "https://my-test-project.appspot.com/push".
sub, err := client.CreateSubscription(ctx, name, pubsub.SubscriptionConfig{
	Topic:       topic,
	AckDeadline: 10 * time.Second,
	PushConfig:  pubsub.PushConfig{Endpoint: endpoint},
})
if err != nil {
	return err
}
fmt.Printf("Created subscription: %v\n", sub)

Update a subscription

Once a subscription has been created, you can update the push endpoint of a subscription or switch from push to pull and vice versa. Here are examples showing how to update an existing pull or push subscription by specifying a non-empty, valid HTTPs push endpoint URL:

GCLOUD

   gcloud beta pubsub subscriptions modify-push-config mySubscription --push-endpoint="https://anotherapp.appspot.com/push"

Java

For more on installing and creating a Cloud Pub/Sub client, refer to Cloud Pub/Sub Client Libraries. 

try (SubscriptionAdminClient subscriptionAdminClient = SubscriptionAdminClient.create()) {
  SubscriptionName subscriptionName = SubscriptionName.create(projectId, subscriptionId);
  PushConfig pushConfig = PushConfig.newBuilder().setPushEndpoint(endpoint).build();
  subscriptionAdminClient.modifyPushConfig(subscriptionName, pushConfig);
}

Go

For more on installing and creating a Cloud Pub/Sub client, refer to Cloud Pub/Sub Client Libraries. 

// For example, endpoint is "https://my-test-project.appspot.com/push".
subConfig, err := client.Subscription(name).Update(ctx, pubsub.SubscriptionConfigToUpdate{
	PushConfig: &pubsub.PushConfig{Endpoint: endpoint},
})
if err != nil {
	return err
}
fmt.Printf("Updated subscription config: %#v", subConfig)

List subscriptions

You can list all subscriptions in a project, or only subscriptions to a particular topic. See Access Control for details on limiting access, if needed. Here are examples showing how to list all subscriptions in a project.

GCLOUD
