SYNOPSIS

my $client = Google::CloudTasks->client(
version => 'v2',
credentials_path => '/path/to/credentials.json',
);
# Create task
my $project_id = 'myproject';
my $location_id = 'asia-northeast1';
my $queue_id = 'myqueue';
my $parent = "projects/$project_id/locations/$location_id/queues/$queue_id";
my $task = {
name => "$parent/tasks/mytask-01234567",
appEngineHttpRequest => {
relativeUri => '/do_task',
},
}
my $ret = $client->create_task($parent, $task);

DESCRIPTION

Google::CloudTasks https://cloud.google.com/tasks/docs/reference/rest/

This is a Perl client library for the Google CloudTasks API.

AUTHENTICATION

A service account with appropriate roles is required. You need to download JSON file and specify credentials_path. See also: https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/getting-started#creating_the_service_account

METHODS

All methods handle raw hashref (or arrayref of hashref), rather than objects.

Create a client

my $client = Google::CloudTasks->client(
version => 'v2',
credentials_path => '/path/to/credentials.json',
);

version is an API version. (Currently only v2 is available) credentials_path is a path to a service account JSON file.

appEngineHttpRequest => {
relativeUri => '/path',
headers => [
'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
