MethodPathWhat it does
GET/v2/infoTypesReturns a list of the sensitive information types that DLP API supports. See https://cloud.google.com/dlp/docs/infotypes-reference to learn more.
GET/v2/{name}Gets a stored infoType. See https://cloud.google.com/dlp/docs/creating-stored-infotypes to learn more.
PATCH/v2/{name}Updates the stored infoType by creating a new version. The existing version will continue to be used until the new version is ready. See https://cloud.google.co
DELETE/v2/{name}Deletes a stored infoType. See https://cloud.google.com/dlp/docs/creating-stored-infotypes to learn more.
POST/v2/{name}:activateActivate a job trigger. Causes the immediate execute of a trigger instead of waiting on the trigger event to occur.
POST/v2/{name}:cancelStarts asynchronous cancellation on a long-running DlpJob. The server makes a best effort to cancel the DlpJob, but success is not guaranteed. See https://cloud
POST/v2/{name}:finishFinish a running hybrid DlpJob. Triggers the finalization steps and running of any enabled actions that have not yet run.
POST/v2/{name}:hybridInspectInspect hybrid content and store findings to a trigger. The inspection will be processed asynchronously. To review the findings monitor the jobs within the trig
POST/v2/{parent}/content:deidentifyDe-identifies potentially sensitive info from a ContentItem. This method has limits on input size and output size. See https://cloud.google.com/dlp/docs/deident
POST/v2/{parent}/content:inspectFinds potentially sensitive info in content. This method has limits on input size, processing time, and output size. When no InfoTypes or CustomInfoTypes are sp
