This method is asynchronous and returns an `Operation`, which represents the current state of the operation. It contains an endpoint path that you can poll to obtain the real response and applicable metadata. See the [documentation]({longRunningOperationsLink}) on long-running operations for more information.
            
The following sections describe the response and metadata objects that are provided when an operation completes.

Beta endpoints are ready for public use. Breaking changes are possible but rare.

These Open Cloud documentation pages will be removed on March 31, 2026. You will be automatically redirected to the new Open Cloud documentation at that time. {linkStart}Learn more{linkEnd}

Experimental endpoints are ready for public use, but may experience breaking changes occasionally as the API contract is finalized.

This endpoint can be called in-experience through {httpServiceLinkStart}HttpService{httpServiceLinkEnd} with an API key.

This field may be set when creating a resource, but may not be modified by subsequent requests.

These fields may be set when creating a resource, but may not be modified by subsequent requests.

This field may be provided in requests, but will never be included in responses.

Legacy authentication method. Always prefer using API Key or OAuth 2.0 when available.

Per API Key: {maxInPeriod} requests every {periodInSeconds} seconds per IP Address

Requires no authentication to call. Typically has significantly lowered rate limits. Always prefer using API Key or OAuth 2.0 when available.

For each grouping, only one of the following fields in the schema has to be provided, the remaining can be excluded.

You can opt back in at any time. {linkStart}Provide feedback.{linkEnd}

You are viewing the old docs. {linkStart}Provide feedback.{linkEnd}

You can opt out at any time and be redirected back to the old reference pages. {linkStart}Provide feedback.{linkEnd}

You are viewing the revamped docs. {linkStart}Provide feedback.{linkEnd}

This field may be set on responses, but will be ignored in requests.

Note: Rate limits can be lower during high-traffic periods. Certain endpoints have additional rate limits. [Learn more about rate limits]({link}).

{limit} requests per day across all API keys for a user or group

{limit} requests per hour across all API keys for a user or group

{limit} requests per minute across all API keys for a user or group

{limit} requests per second across all API keys for a user or group

{limit} requests per minute per API key owner

{limit} request(s) per second per API key owner

Scopes control what permissions your credentials have. Your credentials can only access the endpoints supported by the scopes you selected.

Stable endpoints are production-ready and will almost never experience breaking changes during their lifetime.

This target enables you to limit your key's access to selected {requiredParts}

This target enables you to limit your key's access to selected {requiredParts} and {optionalParts}

Target types are used to restrict the resources that your credentials have permissions on. Only the selected resources can be acted on even if your account has permissions on additional resources. Some scopes do not have target parts. In these cases, all of your relevant resources can be acted on.

The universe Top Level Part does not need to be selected for user-owned API Keys. In this case, your API Key will have access to all of your user-owned experiences and group-owned experiences that you have the right group permissions on.

Try It Out is not yet supported for endpoints requiring API key or OAuth 2.0 authentication

Cookie authentication is disabled for high risk operations for safety.

Critical risk endpoints are extremely sensitive and Try It Out is disabled for safety

Note: Authentication headers are not included in this code sample. You may need to add an authentication header for this command to work.

This is a high risk endpoint that can modify or delete critical data. Use extreme caution when testing.

This API endpoint has been classified as HIGH RISK and may affect live data or user accounts.

Authenticated requests to high-risk APIs can make changes that cannot be undone. Please review your request parameters carefully before proceeding.

Please login to use cookie authentication

This is a low risk endpoint that retrieves data. This is generally safe to test.

This is a medium risk endpoint that modifies data. Test carefully with non-critical accounts, as changes may be permanent.

To keep your account safe, never paste text here from other sources or send information from this page to others.

You are about to test live API endpoints using your actual account credentials.

Only proceed if you understand the implications of the API calls you're about to make. Review the API documentation carefully before testing.

API calls will be made using your authenticated session

These are real API calls that may affect your account or data

Rate limits and other API restrictions apply

Some operations may modify or delete data
