Creates and returns a new product resource. Possible errors: * Returns INVALID_ARGUMENT if display_name is missing or longer than 4096 characters. * Returns INVALID_ARGUMENT if description is longer than 4096 characters. * Returns INVALID_ARGUMENT if product_category is missing or invalid.

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-vision

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: vision1 --scope <scope> projects locations-products-create ...

Required Scalar Argument

  • <parent> (string)
    • Required. The project in which the Product should be created. Format is projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOC_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:

Product:
  description: string
  display-name: string
  name: string
  product-category: 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 . description=kasd
    • User-provided metadata to be stored with this product. Must be at most 4096 characters long.
  • display-name=et
    • The user-provided name for this Product. Must not be empty. Must be at most 4096 characters long.
  • name=sed
    • The resource name of the product. Format is: projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOC_ID/products/PRODUCT_ID. This field is ignored when creating a product.
  • product-category=et
    • Immutable. The category for the product identified by the reference image. This should be one of "homegoods-v2", "apparel-v2", "toys-v2", "packagedgoods-v1" or "general-v1". The legacy categories "homegoods", "apparel", and "toys" are still supported, but these should not be used for new products.

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 product-id=string
    • A user-supplied resource id for this Product. If set, the server will attempt to use this value as the resource id. If it is already in use, an error is returned with code ALREADY_EXISTS. Must be at most 128 characters long. It cannot contain the character /.

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").
