API hub supportsEventarc triggers. By
using this feature, you can trigger executions based on the events occurring in API hub. For
example, you can execute aCloud Runservice when
an API is created in API hub.
This quickstart shows you how to create and configure an Eventarc trigger that executes a Cloud Run
service when an API is updated in API hub.
Before you begin
API hub must be provisioned in a Google Cloud project to which you have access.
SeeProvision API hub.
In the Google Cloud console, on the project selector page, select the project in which API
hub is provisioned.
You must have a valid Cloud Run service running. You will use the Cloud Run service details
when configuring the Eventarc trigger. This is the service that will be executed when
the configured event occurs.
Create an Eventarc trigger
In the Google Cloud console, go to the EventarcTriggerspage.
Enter aTrigger name.
For example,cloudrun-trigger-1.
In theTrigger typelist, selectGoogle sources.
This filters events sent from Google Cloud providers (directly or
through Cloud Audit Logs entries), or providers using Pub/Sub
messages.
In theEvent providerlist, selectAPI hub.
In theEvent typelist, selectgoogle.cloud.apihub.v1.updated.
In theEvent content data typelist, select eitherJSONorProtobuf.
Select aRegion.
Optionally,Add filtersto select the APIs that match your criteria. For example, if you
filter the APIs by a specific name, the event is triggered only if the APIs matching the filter
criteria are updated.
If prompted, grant the following:
iam.serviceAccountTokenCreatorrole to Pub/Sub service account
pubsub.publisherrole to Cloud Storage service account
Use theDefault compute service accountas the service account that
invokes your service.
In theEvent destinationlist, selectCloud Run.
Select a Cloud Run service that should be executed when thegoogle.cloud.apihub.v1.updatedevent occurs in API hub.
