Request that a new Project be created. The result is an Operation which can be used to track the creation process. This process usually takes a few seconds, but can sometimes take much longer. The tracking Operation is automatically deleted after a few hours, so there is no need to call DeleteOperation. Authorization requires the Google IAM permission resourcemanager.projects.create on the specified parent for the new project. The parent is identified by a specified ResourceId, which must include both an ID and a type, such as organization. This method does not associate the new project with a billing account. You can set or update the billing account associated with a project using the [projects.updateBillingInfo] (/billing/reference/rest/v1/projects/updateBillingInfo) method.

Scopes

You will need authorization for the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform scope to make a valid call.

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform. You can set the scope for this method like this: cloudresourcemanager1 --scope <scope> projects create ...

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

Project:
  create-time: string
  labels: { string: string }
  lifecycle-state: string
  name: string
  parent:
    id: string
    type: string
  project-id: string
  project-number: string
  tags: { string: string }

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

  • -r . create-time=voluptua.
    • Creation time. Read-only.
  • labels=key=amet.
    • The labels associated with this Project. Label keys must be between 1 and 63 characters long and must conform to the following regular expression: a-z{0,62}. Label values must be between 0 and 63 characters long and must conform to the regular expression [a-z0-9_-]{0,63}. A label value can be empty. No more than 256 labels can be associated with a given resource. Clients should store labels in a representation such as JSON that does not depend on specific characters being disallowed. Example: "environment" : "dev" Read-write.
    • the value will be associated with the given key
  • lifecycle-state=consetetur
    • The Project lifecycle state. Read-only.
  • name=diam
    • The optional user-assigned display name of the Project. When present it must be between 4 to 30 characters. Allowed characters are: lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, hyphen, single-quote, double-quote, space, and exclamation point. Example: My Project Read-write.
  • parent id=dolor
    • The type-specific id. This should correspond to the id used in the type-specific API's.

  • type=et

    • The resource type this id is for. At present, the valid types are: "organization", "folder", and "project".

  • .. project-id=et

    • The unique, user-assigned ID of the Project. It must be 6 to 30 lowercase letters, digits, or hyphens. It must start with a letter. Trailing hyphens are prohibited. Example: tokyo-rain-123 Read-only after creation.
  • project-number=sadipscing
    • The number uniquely identifying the project. Example: 415104041262 Read-only.
  • tags=key=stet
    • Optional. Input only. Immutable. Tag keys/values directly bound to this project. Each item in the map must be expressed as " : ". For example: "123/environment" : "production", "123/costCenter" : "marketing"
    • the value will be associated with the given key

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.

Optional General Properties

The following properties can configure any call, and are not specific to this method.

  • -p $-xgafv=string

    • V1 error format.

  • -p access-token=string

    • OAuth access token.

  • -p alt=string

    • Data format for response.

  • -p callback=string

    • JSONP

  • -p fields=string

    • Selector specifying which fields to include in a partial response.

  • -p key=string

    • API key. Your API key identifies your project and provides you with API access, quota, and reports. Required unless you provide an OAuth 2.0 token.

  • -p oauth-token=string

    • OAuth 2.0 token for the current user.

  • -p pretty-print=boolean

    • Returns response with indentations and line breaks.

  • -p quota-user=string

    • Available to use for quota purposes for server-side applications. Can be any arbitrary string assigned to a user, but should not exceed 40 characters.

  • -p upload-type=string

    • Legacy upload protocol for media (e.g. "media", "multipart").

  • -p upload-protocol=string

    • Upload protocol for media (e.g. "raw", "multipart").
