Method: routes.insert

Parameters
`project`	`string` Project ID for this request.

Parameters
`requestId`	`string` 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. 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`).

Output only. Type of this resource. Always compute#routes for Route resources.

Output only. The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.

[REQUIRED] Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?. The first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters (except for the last character) must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit. The last character must be a lowercase letter or digit.

An optional description of this resource. Provide this field when you create the resource.

Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource network:

[REQUIRED] The destination range of outgoing packets that this route applies to. Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported. Must specify an IPv4 range (e.g. 192.0.2.0/24) or an IPv6 range in RFC 4291 format (e.g. 2001:db8::/32). IPv6 range will be displayed using RFC 5952 compressed format.

[REQUIRED] The priority of this route. Priority is used to break ties in cases where there is more than one matching route of equal prefix length. In cases where multiple routes have equal prefix length, the one with the lowest-numbered priority value wins. The default value is 1000. The priority value must be from 0 to 65535, inclusive.

The network IP address of an instance that should handle matching packets. Both IPv6 address and IPv4 addresses are supported. Must specify an IPv4 address in dot-decimal notation (e.g. 192.0.2.99) or an IPv6 address in RFC 4291 format (e.g. 2001:db8::2d9:51:0:0 or 2001:db8:0:0:2d9:51:0:0). IPv6 addresses will be displayed using RFC 5952 compressed format (e.g. 2001:db8::2d9:51:0:0). Should never be an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.

The URL to a gateway that should handle matching packets. You can only specify the internet gateway using a full or partial valid URL: projects/project/global/gateways/default-internet-gateway

Output only. The network peering name that should handle matching packets, which should conform to RFC1035.

The URL to a forwarding rule of type loadBalancingScheme=INTERNAL that should handle matching packets or the IP address of the forwarding Rule. For example, the following are all valid URLs:

Output only. If potential misconfigurations are detected for this route, this field will be populated with warning messages.

Output only. A warning code, if applicable. For example, Compute Engine returns NO_RESULTS_ON_PAGE if there are no results in the response.

Output only. A key that provides more detail on the warning being returned. For example, for warnings where there are no results in a list request for a particular zone, this key might be scope and the key value might be the zone name. Other examples might be a key indicating a deprecated resource and a suggested replacement, or a warning about invalid network settings (for example, if an instance attempts to perform IP forwarding but is not enabled for IP forwarding).

Output only. The full resource name of the Network Connectivity Center hub that will handle matching packets.

Output only. The URL to an InterconnectAttachment which is the next hop for the route. This field will only be populated for dynamic routes generated by Cloud Router with a linked interconnectAttachment or the static route generated by each L2 Interconnect Attachment.

Output only. The status of the route. This status applies to dynamic routes learned by Cloud Routers. It is also applicable to routes undergoing migration.

Output only. Indicates the origin of the route. Can be IGP (Interior Gateway Protocol), EGP (Exterior Gateway Protocol), or INCOMPLETE.

Output only. Multi-Exit Discriminator, a BGP route metric that indicates the desirability of a particular route in a network.

Output only. Internal fixed region-to-region cost that Google Cloud calculates based on factors such as network performance, distance, and available bandwidth between regions.

Input only. [Input Only] Additional params passed with the request, but not persisted as part of resource payload.

Response body

Represents an Operation resource.

Google Compute Engine has three Operation resources:

You can use an operation resource to manage asynchronous API requests. For more information, read Handling API responses.

Operations can be global, regional or zonal.

For global operations, use the globalOperations resource.
For regional operations, use the regionOperations resource.
For zonal operations, use the zoneOperations resource.

For more information, read Global, Regional, and Zonal Resources.

Note that completed Operation resources have a limited retention period.

If successful, the response body contains data with the following structure:

Fields
`kind`	`string` Output only. Type of the resource. Always `compute#operation` for Operation resources.
`id`	`string (uint64 format)` Output only. The unique identifier for the operation. This identifier is defined by the server.
`creationTimestamp`	`string` [Deprecated] This field is deprecated.
`name`	`string` Output only. Name of the operation.
`zone`	`string` Output only. The URL of the zone where the operation resides. Only applicable when performing per-zone operations.
`clientOperationId`	`string` Output only. The value of `requestId` if you provided it in the request. Not present otherwise.
`operationType`	`string` Output only. The type of operation, such as `insert`, `update`, or `delete`, and so on.
`targetLink`	`string` Output only. The URL of the resource that the operation modifies. For operations related to creating a snapshot, this points to the disk that the snapshot was created from.
`targetId`	`string (uint64 format)` Output only. The unique target ID, which identifies a specific incarnation of the target resource.
`status`	`enum` Output only. The status of the operation, which can be one of the following: `PENDING`, `RUNNING`, or `DONE`.
`statusMessage`	`string` Output only. An optional textual description of the current status of the operation.
`user`	`string` Output only. User who requested the operation, for example: `user@example.com` or `alice_smith_identifier (global/workforcePools/example-com-us-employees)`.
`progress`	`integer` Output only. An optional progress indicator that ranges from 0 to 100. There is no requirement that this be linear or support any granularity of operations. This should not be used to guess when the operation will be complete. This number should monotonically increase as the operation progresses.
`insertTime`	`string` Output only. The time that this operation was requested. This value is in RFC3339 text format.
`startTime`	`string` Output only. The time that this operation was started by the server. This value is in RFC3339 text format.
`endTime`	`string` Output only. The time that this operation was completed. This value is in RFC3339 text format.
`error`	`object` Output only. If errors are generated during processing of the operation, this field will be populated.
`error.errors[]`	`object` Output only. The array of errors encountered while processing this operation.
`error.errors[].code`	`string` Output only. The error type identifier for this error.
`error.errors[].location`	`string` Output only. Indicates the field in the request that caused the error. This property is optional.
`error.errors[].message`	`string` Output only. An optional, human-readable error message.
`error.errors[].errorDetails[]`	`object` Output only. An optional list of messages that contain the error details. There is a set of defined message types to use for providing details.The syntax depends on the error code. For example, QuotaExceededInfo will have details when the error code is QUOTA_EXCEEDED.
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo`	`object`
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo.reason`	`string` The reason of the error. This is a constant value that identifies the proximate cause of the error. Error reasons are unique within a particular domain of errors. This should be at most 63 characters and match a regular expression of `[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]+[A-Z0-9]`, which represents UPPER_SNAKE_CASE.
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo.domain`	`string` The logical grouping to which the "reason" belongs. The error domain is typically the registered service name of the tool or product that generates the error. Example: "pubsub.googleapis.com". If the error is generated by some common infrastructure, the error domain must be a globally unique value that identifies the infrastructure. For Google API infrastructure, the error domain is "googleapis.com".
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo.metadatas`	`map (key: string, value: string)` Additional structured details about this error. Keys must match a regular expression of `[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9-_]+` but should ideally be lowerCamelCase. Also, they must be limited to 64 characters in length. When identifying the current value of an exceeded limit, the units should be contained in the key, not the value. For example, rather than `{"instanceLimit": "100/request"}`, should be returned as, `{"instanceLimitPerRequest": "100"}`, if the client exceeds the number of instances that can be created in a single (batch) request.

`warnings[]`	`object` Output only. If warning messages are generated during processing of the operation, this field will be populated.
`warnings[].code`	`enum` Output only. A warning code, if applicable. For example, Compute Engine returns `NO_RESULTS_ON_PAGE` if there are no results in the response.
`warnings[].message`	`string` Output only. A human-readable description of the warning code.
`warnings[].data[]`	`object` Output only. Metadata about this warning in `key: value` format. For example: "data": [ { "key": "scope", "value": "zones/us-east1-d" }
`warnings[].data[].key`	`string` Output only. A key that provides more detail on the warning being returned. For example, for warnings where there are no results in a list request for a particular zone, this key might be `scope` and the key value might be the zone name. Other examples might be a key indicating a deprecated resource and a suggested replacement, or a warning about invalid network settings (for example, if an instance attempts to perform IP forwarding but is not enabled for IP forwarding).
`warnings[].data[].value`	`string` Output only. A warning data value corresponding to the key.
`httpErrorStatusCode`	`integer` Output only. If the operation fails, this field contains the HTTP error status code that was returned. For example, a `404` means the resource was not found.
`httpErrorMessage`	`string` Output only. If the operation fails, this field contains the HTTP error message that was returned, such as `NOT FOUND`.
`selfLink`	`string` Output only. Server-defined URL for the resource.
