Required Scalar Argument

• <parent> (string)
  • Required. The site in which to create this channel, in the format: sites/ SITE_ID

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:

Channel:
  create-time: string
  expire-time: string
  labels: { string: string }
  name: string
  release:
    message: string
    name: string
    release-time: string
    release-user:
      email: string
      image-url: string
    type: string
    version:
      config:
        app-association: string
        clean-urls: boolean
        i18n:
          root: string
        trailing-slash-behavior: string
      create-time: string
      create-user:
        email: string
        image-url: string
      delete-time: string
      delete-user:
        email: string
        image-url: string
      file-count: int64
      finalize-time: string
      finalize-user:
        email: string
        image-url: string
      labels: { string: string }
      name: string
      status: string
      version-bytes: string
  retained-release-count: integer
  ttl: string
  update-time: string
  url: 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=et

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 Method Properties

You may set the following properties to further configure the call. Please note that -p is followed by one or more key-value-pairs, and is called like this -p k1=v1 k2=v2 even though the listing below repeats the -p for completeness.
