EXAMPLES

To create a version with the ID my-version for API my-api, run:

gcloud apihub apis versions create --version=my-version --api=my-api --display-name="My Version" --project=my-project --location=us-central1

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

Version resource - Identifier. The name of the version.

Format: projects/{project}/locations/{location}/apis/{api}/versions/{version} The arguments in this group can be used to specify the attributes of this resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments in this group but can be set in other ways.

To set the project attribute:

provide the argument version on the command line with a fully specified name;
provide the argument --project on the command line;
set the property core/project.

provide the argument --location on the command line.

This must be specified.

To set the version attribute:

provide the argument version on the command line.

This positional argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.

--api=API

provide the argument version on the command line with a fully specified name;
provide the argument --api on the command line.

REQUIRED FLAGS

--display-name=DISPLAY_NAME: The display name of the version.

OPTIONAL FLAGS
