Input Schema
A subscription resource. If none of push_config
, bigquery_config
, or cloud_storage_config
is set, then the subscriber will pull and ack messages using API methods. At most one of these fields may be set.
Subscription
| JSON representation |
|---|
{ "name" : string , "topic" : string , "pushConfig" : { object ( |
name
string
Required. Identifier. The name of the subscription. It must have the format "projects/{project}/subscriptions/{subscription}"
. {subscription}
must start with a letter, and contain only letters ( [A-Za-z]
), numbers ( [0-9]
), dashes ( -
), underscores ( _
), periods ( .
), tildes ( ~
), plus ( +
) or percent signs ( %
). It must be between 3 and 255 characters in length, and it must not start with "goog"
.
topic
string
Required. The name of the topic from which this subscription is receiving messages. Format is projects/{project}/topics/{topic}
. The value of this field will be _deleted-topic_
if the topic has been deleted.
pushConfig
object (
PushConfig
)
Optional. If push delivery is used with this subscription, this field is used to configure it.
bigqueryConfig
object (
BigQueryConfig

Optional. If delivery to BigQuery is used with this subscription, this field is used to configure it.
cloudStorageConfig
object (
CloudStorageConfig
)
Optional. If delivery to Google Cloud Storage is used with this subscription, this field is used to configure it.
ackDeadlineSeconds
integer
Optional. The approximate amount of time (on a best-effort basis) Pub/Sub waits for the subscriber to acknowledge receipt before resending the message. In the interval after the message is delivered and before it is acknowledged, it is considered to be outstanding . During that time period, the message will not be redelivered (on a best-effort basis).
For pull subscriptions, this value is used as the initial value for the ack deadline. To override this value for a given message, call ModifyAckDeadline
with the corresponding ack_id
if using non-streaming pull or send the ack_id
in a StreamingModifyAckDeadlineRequest
if using streaming pull. The minimum custom deadline you can specify is 10 seconds. The maximum custom deadline you can specify is 600 seconds (10 minutes). If this parameter is 0, a default value of 10 seconds is used.
For push delivery, this value is also used to set the request timeout for the call to the push endpoint.
If the subscriber never acknowledges the message, the Pub/Sub system will eventually redeliver the message.
retainAckedMessages
boolean
Optional. Indicates whether to retain acknowledged messages. If true, then messages are not expunged from the subscription's backlog, even if they are acknowledged, until they fall out of the message_retention_duration
window. This must be true if you would like to Seek
to a timestamp
in the past to replay previously-acknowledged messages.
messageRetentionDuration
string (
Duration
format)
Optional. How long to retain unacknowledged messages in the subscription's backlog, from the moment a message is published. If retain_acked_messages
is true, then this also configures the retention of acknowledged messages, and thus configures how far back in time a Seek
can be done. Defaults to 7 days. Cannot be more than 31 days or less than 10 minutes.
A duration in seconds with up to nine fractional digits, ending with ' s
'. Example: "3.5s"
.
labels
map (key: string, value: string)
Optional. See Creating and managing labels .

Optional. If true, messages published with the same ordering_key
in PubsubMessage
will be delivered to the subscribers in the order in which they are received by the Pub/Sub system. Otherwise, they may be delivered in any order.
expirationPolicy
object (
ExpirationPolicy
)
Optional. A policy that specifies the conditions for this subscription's expiration. A subscription is considered active as long as any connected subscriber is successfully consuming messages from the subscription or is issuing operations on the subscription. If expiration_policy
is not set, a default policy
with ttl
of 31 days will be used. The minimum allowed value for expiration_policy.ttl
is 1 day. If expiration_policy
is set, but expiration_policy.ttl
is not set, the subscription never expires.
filter
string
Optional. An expression written in the Pub/Sub filter language
. If non-empty, then only PubsubMessage
s whose attributes
field matches the filter are delivered on this subscription. If empty, then no messages are filtered out.
deadLetterPolicy
object (
DeadLetterPolicy
)
Optional. A policy that specifies the conditions for dead lettering messages in this subscription. If dead_letter_policy is not set, dead lettering is disabled.
The Pub/Sub service account associated with this subscriptions's parent project (i.e., service-{project_number}@gcp-sa-pubsub.iam.gserviceaccount.com) must have permission to Acknowledge() messages on this subscription.
retryPolicy
object (
RetryPolicy
)
Optional. A policy that specifies how Pub/Sub retries message delivery for this subscription.
If not set, the default retry policy is applied. This generally implies that messages will be retried as soon as possible for healthy subscribers. RetryPolicy will be triggered on NACKs or acknowledgment deadline exceeded events for a given message.
detached
boolean
Optional. Indicates whether the subscription is detached from its topic. Detached subscriptions don't receive messages from their topic and don't retain any backlog. Pull
and StreamingPull
requests will return FAILED_PRECONDITION. If the subscription is a push subscription, pushes to the endpoint will not be made.
enableExactlyOnceDelivery
boolean
Optional. If true, Pub/Sub provides the following guarantees for the delivery of a message with a given value of message_id
on this subscription:
- The message sent to a subscriber is guaranteed not to be resent before the message's acknowledgment deadline expires.
- An acknowledged message will not be resent to a subscriber.
Note that subscribers may still receive multiple copies of a message when enable_exactly_once_delivery
is true if the message was published multiple times by a publisher client. These copies are considered distinct by Pub/Sub and have distinct message_id
values.
topicMessageRetentionDuration
string (
Duration
format)
Output only. Indicates the minimum duration for which a message is retained after it is published to the subscription's topic. If this field is set, messages published to the subscription's topic in the last topic_message_retention_duration

pairs. Example: { "name": "wrench", "mass": "1.3kg", "count": "3" }
.
PushConfig
| JSON representation |
|---|
{ "pushEndpoint" : string , "attributes" : { string : string , ... } , // Union field |
pushEndpoint
string
Optional. A URL locating the endpoint to which messages should be pushed. For example, a Webhook endpoint might use https://example.com/push
.
attributes
map (key: string, value: string)
Optional. Endpoint configuration attributes that can be used to control different aspects of the message delivery.
The only currently supported attribute is x-goog-version
, which you can use to change the format of the pushed message. This attribute indicates the version of the data expected by the endpoint. This controls the shape of the pushed message (i.e., its fields and metadata).
If not present during the CreateSubscription
call, it will default to the version of the Pub/Sub API used to make such call. If not present in a ModifyPushConfig
call, its value will not be changed. GetSubscription
calls will always return a valid version, even if the subscription was created without this attribute.
The only supported values for the x-goog-version
attribute are:
-
v1beta1: uses the push format defined in the v1beta1 Pub/Sub API. -
v1orv1beta2: uses the push format defined in the v1 Pub/Sub API.
For example: attributes { "x-goog-version": "v1" }

Optional. Transforms to be applied to messages before they are delivered to subscribers. Transforms are applied in the order specified.
tags
map (key: string, value: string)
Optional. Input only. Immutable. Tag keys/values directly bound to this resource. For example: "123/environment": "production", "123/costCenter": "marketing"
An object containing a list of "key": value
pairs. Example: { "name": "wrench", "mass": "1.3kg", "count": "3" }
.
PushConfig
| JSON representation |
|---|
{ "pushEndpoint" : string , "attributes" : { string : string , ... } , // Union field |
pushEndpoint
string
Optional. A URL locating the endpoint to which messages should be pushed. For example, a Webhook endpoint might use https://example.com/push
.
attributes
map (key: string, value: string)
Optional. Endpoint configuration attributes that can be used to control different aspects of the message delivery.
The only currently supported attribute is x-goog-version
, which you can use to change the format of the pushed message. This attribute indicates the version of the data expected by the endpoint. This controls the shape of the pushed message (i.e., its fields and metadata).
If not present during the CreateSubscription
call, it will default to the version of the Pub/Sub API used to make such call. If not present in a ModifyPushConfig
call, its value will not be changed. GetSubscription
calls will always return a valid version, even if the subscription was created without this attribute.
The only supported values for the x-goog-version
attribute are:
-
v1beta1: uses the push format defined in the v1beta1 Pub/Sub API. -
v1orv1beta2: uses the push format defined in the v1 Pub/Sub API.
For example: attributes { "x-goog-version": "v1" }
An object containing a list of "key": value
pairs. Example: { "name": "wrench", "mass": "1.3kg", "count": "3" }
.
authentication_method
. An authentication method used by push endpoints to verify the source of push requests. This can be used with push endpoints that are private by default to allow requests only from the Pub/Sub system, for example. This field is optional and should be set only by users interested in authenticated push. authentication_method
can be only one of the following:oidcToken
object (
OidcToken
)
Optional. If specified, Pub/Sub will generate and attach an OIDC JWT token as an Authorization
header in the HTTP request for every pushed message.
wrapper
. The format of the delivered message to the push endpoint is defined by the chosen wrapper. When unset, PubsubWrapper
is used. wrapper
can be only one of the following:pubsubWrapper
object (
PubsubWrapper
)
Optional. When set, the payload to the push endpoint is in the form of the JSON representation of a PubsubMessage ( https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/reference/rpc/google.pubsub.v1#pubsubmessage) .
noWrapper
object (
NoWrapper
)
Optional. When set, the payload to the push endpoint is not wrapped.
