MethodPathWhat it does
GET/v2beta3/{name}Gets a task.
PATCH/v2beta3/{name}Updates a queue. This method creates the queue if it does not exist and updates the queue if it does exist. Queues created with this method allow tasks to live
DELETE/v2beta3/{name}Deletes a task. A task can be deleted if it is scheduled or dispatched. A task cannot be deleted if it has executed successfully or permanently failed.
GET/v2beta3/{name}/locationsLists information about the supported locations for this service.
POST/v2beta3/{name}:pausePauses the queue. If a queue is paused then the system will stop dispatching tasks until the queue is resumed via ResumeQueue. Tasks can still be added when the
POST/v2beta3/{name}:purgePurges a queue by deleting all of its tasks. All tasks created before this method is called are permanently deleted. Purge operations can take up to one minute

POST/v2beta3/{queue}/tasks/{taskId}:bufferCreates and buffers a new task without the need to explicitly define a Task message. The queue must have HTTP target. To create the task with a custom ID, use t
POST/v2beta3/{resource}:getIamPolicyGets the access control policy for a Queue. Returns an empty policy if the resource exists and does not have a policy set. Authorization requires the following
POST/v2beta3/{resource}:setIamPolicySets the access control policy for a Queue. Replaces any existing policy. Note: The Cloud Console does not check queue-level IAM permissions yet. Project-level
POST/v2beta3/{resource}:testIamPermissionsReturns permissions that a caller has on a Queue. If the resource does not exist, this will return an empty set of permissions, not a NOT_FOUND error. Note: Thi
