Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
ack_deadline
Subfield of subscription. Not required. Default deadline for subscriptions to ACK the message before it is resent. See examples.
name
Subfield of subscription. Required if subscription is specified. See examples.
publish
List of dictionaries describing messages and attributes to be published. Dictionary is in message(str):attributes(dict) format. Only message is required.
pull
Subfield of subscription. Not required. If specified, messages will be retrieved from topic via the provided subscription name. max_messages (int; default None; max number of messages to pull), message_ack (bool; default False; acknowledge the message) and return_immediately (bool; default True, don't wait for messages to appear). If the messages are acknowledged, changed is set to True, otherwise, changed is False.
push_endpoint
Subfield of subscription. Not required. If specified, message will be sent to an endpoint. See https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/advanced#push_endpoints for more information.
state
    Choices:
  • absent
  • present ←
State of the topic or queue.
Applies to the most granular resource.
If subscription isspecified we remove it.
If only topic is specified, that is what is removed.
NOTE - A topic can be removed without first removing the subscription.
subscription
Dictionary containing a subscripton name associated with a topic (required), along with optional ack_deadline, push_endpoint and pull. For pulling from a subscription, message_ack (bool), max_messages (int) and return_immediate are available as subfields. See subfields name, push_endpoint and ack_deadline for more information.
topic
required
GCP pubsub topic name.
Only the name, not the full path, is required.

Notes

Note

  • Subscription pull happens before publish. You cannot publish and pull in the same task.
