Working with long-running operations

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 & CMD LINE

Before using any of the request data below, 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: Ensure you have set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable to the path for your service account private key file.

Execute the following command:

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

PowerShell

Note: Ensure you have set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable to the path for your service account private key file.

Execute the following command:

$cred = gcloud auth application-default print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred" }

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"
  }
}
