The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Path parameters

Parameters
parent

string

Required. Value for parent.

Query parameters

Parameters
observationSourceId

string

Required. The ID to use for the Observation Source. This value should be 4-63 characters, and valid characters are /[a-z][0-9]-/.

requestId

string

Optional. An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed. The server will guarantee that for at least 60 minutes since the first request.

For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.

The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).

Request body

The request body contains an instance of ObservationSource.

Response body

If successful, the response body contains a newly created instance of Operation.
