Watch for changes on all objects in a bucket.

Scopes

You will need authorization for at least one of the following scopes to make a valid call:

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform
  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform.read-only
  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/devstorage.full_control
  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/devstorage.read_only
  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/devstorage.read_write

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: storage1 --scope <scope> objects watch-all ...

Required Scalar Argument

  • <bucket> (string)
    • Name of the bucket in which to look for objects.

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:
  address: string
  expiration: string
  id: string
  kind: string
  params: { string: string }
  payload: boolean
  resource-id: string
  resource-uri: string
  token: string
  type: 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 . address=labore
    • The address where notifications are delivered for this channel.
  • expiration=et
    • Date and time of notification channel expiration, expressed as a Unix timestamp, in milliseconds. Optional.
  • id=aliquyam
    • A UUID or similar unique string that identifies this channel.
  • kind=ut
    • Identifies this as a notification channel used to watch for changes to a resource, which is "api#channel".
  • params=key=amet.
    • Additional parameters controlling delivery channel behavior. Optional.
    • the value will be associated with the given key
  • payload=true
    • A Boolean value to indicate whether payload is wanted. Optional.
  • resource-id=rebum.
    • An opaque ID that identifies the resource being watched on this channel. Stable across different API versions.
  • resource-uri=consetetur
    • A version-specific identifier for the watched resource.
  • token=erat
    • An arbitrary string delivered to the target address with each notification delivered over this channel. Optional.
  • type=dolor
    • The type of delivery mechanism used for this channel.

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.

  • -p delimiter=string

    • Returns results in a directory-like mode. items will contain only objects whose names, aside from the prefix, do not contain delimiter. Objects whose names, aside from the prefix, contain delimiter will have their name, truncated after the delimiter, returned in prefixes. Duplicate prefixes are omitted.

  • -p end-offset=string

    • Filter results to objects whose names are lexicographically before endOffset. If startOffset is also set, the objects listed will have names between startOffset (inclusive) and endOffset (exclusive).

  • -p include-trailing-delimiter=boolean

    • If true, objects that end in exactly one instance of delimiter will have their metadata included in items in addition to prefixes.

  • -p max-results=integer

    • Maximum number of items plus prefixes to return in a single page of responses. As duplicate prefixes are omitted, fewer total results may be returned than requested. The service will use this parameter or 1,000 items, whichever is smaller.

  • -p page-token=string

    • A previously-returned page token representing part of the larger set of results to view.

  • -p prefix=string

    • Filter results to objects whose names begin with this prefix.

  • -p projection=string

    • Set of properties to return. Defaults to noAcl.

  • -p start-offset=string

    • Filter results to objects whose names are lexicographically equal to or after startOffset. If endOffset is also set, the objects listed will have names between startOffset (inclusive) and endOffset (exclusive).

  • -p user-project=string

    • The project to be billed for this request. Required for Requester Pays buckets.

  • -p versions=boolean

    • If true, lists all versions of an object as distinct results. The default is false. For more information, see Object Versioning.

Optional General Properties

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

  • -p alt=string

    • Data format for the response.

  • -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

    • An opaque string that represents a user for quota purposes. Must not exceed 40 characters.

  • -p upload-type=string

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

  • -p user-ip=string

    • Deprecated. Please use quotaUser instead.
