Working with long-running operations

This legacy version of AutoML Vision is deprecated and will no longer be available on Google Cloud after January 23, 2024. All the functionality of AutoML Vision and new features are available on the Vertex AI platform. See Migrate to Vertex AI to learn how to migrate your resources.

Several operations you request are long-running, such as model training, file import into a dataset, and model deletion. These types of requests will return a JSON with an operation ID that you can use to get the status of the operation.

For example, a model training request returns the following JSON:

{
  "name": "projects/project-id/locations/us-central1/operations/ICN3074819451447672458",
  "metadata": {
    "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.automl.v1.OperationMetadata",
    "createTime": "2019-07-26T21:10:18.338846Z",
    "updateTime": "2019-07-26T21:10:18.338846Z",
    "createModelDetails": {}
  }
}

In this case, the operation ID is ICN3074819451447672458. The following samples show how to get the status of this operation with this ID.

Note: You can also filter when you list resources, operations, and metrics. For information on fitering, see Filtering when listing.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

• project-id: your GCP project ID.
• operation-id: the ID of your operation. The ID is the last element of the name of your operation. For example:
  • operation name: projects/project-id/locations/location-id/operations/IOD5281059901324392598
  • operation id: IOD5281059901324392598

HTTP method and URL:

GET https://automl.googleapis.com/v1/projects/project-id/locations/us-central1/operations/operation-id

To send your request, choose one of these options:

curl

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by executing gcloud init or gcloud auth login, or by using Cloud Shell, which automatically logs you into the gcloud CLI. You can check the currently active account by executing gcloud auth list.

Execute the following command:

curl -X GET \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
    -H "x-goog-user-project: project-id" \
    "https://automl.googleapis.com/v1/projects/project-id/locations/us-central1/operations/operation-id"

PowerShell

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by executing gcloud init or gcloud auth login, or by using Cloud Shell, which automatically logs you into the gcloud CLI. You can check the currently active account by executing gcloud auth list.

Execute the following command:

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred"; "x-goog-user-project" = "project-id" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method GET `
    -Headers $headers `
    -Uri "https://automl.googleapis.com/v1/projects/project-id/locations/us-central1/operations/operation-id" | Select-Object -Expand Content

You should see output similar to the following for a completed import operation:

{
  "name": "projects/project-id/locations/us-central1/operations/operation-id",
  "metadata": {
    "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.automl.v1.OperationMetadata",
    "createTime": "2018-10-29T15:56:29.176485Z",
    "updateTime": "2018-10-29T16:10:41.326614Z",
    "importDataDetails": {}
  },
  "done": true,
  "response": {
    "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.protobuf.Empty"
  }
}

You should see output similar to the following for a completed create model operation:

{
  "name": "projects/project-id/locations/us-central1/operations/operation-id",
  "metadata": {
    "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.automl.v1.OperationMetadata",
    "createTime": "2019-07-22T18:35:06.881193Z",
    "updateTime": "2019-07-22T19:58:44.972235Z",
    "createModelDetails": {}
  },
  "done": true,
  "response": {
    "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.automl.v1.Model",
    "name": "projects/project-id/locations/us-central1/models/model-id"
  }
}
