# Google Cloud Pub/Sub API . projects . topics

## Instance Methods

Returns the subscriptions Resource.

Creates the given topic with the given name.

Deletes the topic with the given name. Returns `NOT_FOUND` if the topic does not exist. After a topic is deleted, a new topic may be created with the same name; this is an entirely new topic with none of the old configuration or subscriptions. Existing subscriptions to this topic are not deleted, but their `topic` field is set to `_deleted-topic_`.

Gets the configuration of a topic.

Gets the access control policy for a `resource`. Returns an empty policy if the resource exists and does not have a policy set.

Lists matching topics.

Retrieves the next page of results.

Adds one or more messages to the topic. Returns `NOT_FOUND` if the topic does not exist. The message payload must not be empty; it must contain either a non-empty data field, or at least one attribute.

Sets the access control policy on the specified resource. Replaces any existing policy.

Returns permissions that a caller has on the specified resource.

### Method Details

`create(name, body, x__xgafv=None)`

    Creates the given topic with the given name.

    Args:
      name: string, The name of the topic. It must have the format `"projects/{project}/topics/{topic}"`. `{topic}` must start with a letter, and contain only letters (`[A-Za-z]`), numbers (`[0-9]`), dashes (`-`), underscores (`_`), periods (`.`), tildes (`~`), plus (`+`) or percent signs (`%`). It must be between 3 and 255 characters in length, and it must not start with `"goog"`. (required)
      body: object, The request body. (required)
        The object takes the form of:

    { # A topic resource.
      "name": "A String", # The name of the topic. It must have the format `"projects/{project}/topics/{topic}"`. `{topic}` must start with a letter, and contain only letters (`[A-Za-z]`), numbers (`[0-9]`), dashes (`-`), underscores (`_`), periods (`.`), tildes (`~`), plus (`+`) or percent signs (`%`).

    }

      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.

    Returns:
      An object of the form:

      }

`delete(topic, x__xgafv=None)`

    Deletes the topic with the given name. Returns `NOT_FOUND` if the topic does not exist.

      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.

    Returns:
      An object of the form:

        { # A generic empty message that you can re-use to avoid defining duplicated empty messages in your APIs. A typical example is to use it as the request or the response type of an API method. For instance: service Foo { rpc Bar(google.protobuf.Empty) returns (google.protobuf.Empty); } The JSON representation for `Empty` is empty JSON object `{}`.
      }

`get(topic, x__xgafv=None)`

      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.

    Returns:
      An object of the form:

        { # Defines an Identity and Access Management (IAM) policy. It is used to specify access control policies for Cloud Platform resources. A `Policy` consists of a list of `bindings`. A `Binding` binds a list of `members` to a `role`, where the members can be user accounts, Google groups, Google domains, and service accounts. A `role` is a named list of permissions defined by IAM. **Example** { "bindings": [ { "role": "roles/owner", "members": [ "user:mike@example.com", "group:admins@example.com", "domain:google.com", "serviceAccount:my-other-app@appspot.gserviceaccount.com", ] }, { "role": "roles/viewer", "members": ["user:sean@example.com"] } ] } For a description of IAM and its features, see the [IAM developer's guide](https://cloud.google.com/iam).
        "bindings": [ # Associates a list of `members` to a `role`. Multiple `bindings` must not be specified for the same `role`. `bindings` with no members will result in an error.

            "role": "A String", # Role that is assigned to `members`. For example, `roles/viewer`, `roles/editor`, or `roles/owner`. Required
            "members": [ # Specifies the identities requesting access for a Cloud Platform resource. `members` can have the following values: * `allUsers`: A special identifier that represents anyone who is on the internet; with or without a Google account. * `allAuthenticatedUsers`: A special identifier that represents anyone who is authenticated with a Google account or a service account. * `user:{emailid}`: An email address that represents a specific Google account. For example, `alice@gmail.com` or `joe@example.com`. * `serviceAccount:{emailid}`: An email address that represents a service account. For example, `my-other-app@appspot.gserviceaccount.com`. * `group:{emailid}`: An email address that represents a Google group. For example, `admins@example.com`. * `domain:{domain}`: A Google Apps domain name that represents all the users of that domain. For example, `google.com` or `example.com`.

        ],
        "version": 42, # Version of the `Policy`. The default version is 0.
        "etag": "A String", # `etag` is used for optimistic concurrency control as a way to help prevent simultaneous updates of a policy from overwriting each other. It is strongly suggested that systems make use of the `etag` in the read-modify-write cycle to perform policy updates in order to avoid race conditions: An `etag` is returned in the response to `getIamPolicy`, and systems are expected to put that etag in the request to `setIamPolicy` to ensure that their change will be applied to the same version of the policy. If no `etag` is provided in the call to `setIamPolicy`, then the existing policy is overwritten blindly.
      }

`list(project, pageSize=None, pageToken=None, x__xgafv=None)`

    Lists matching topics.

    Args:
      project: string, The name of the cloud project that topics belong to. (required)
      pageSize: integer, Maximum number of topics to return.
      pageToken: string, The value returned by the last `ListTopicsResponse`; indicates that this is a continuation of a prior `ListTopics` call, and that the system should return the next page of data.
      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.

    Returns:
      An object of the form:

        { # Response for the `ListTopics` method.
        "nextPageToken": "A String", # If not empty, indicates that there may be more topics that match the request; this value should be passed in a new `ListTopicsRequest`.
        "topics": [ # The resulting topics.
          { # A topic resource.
            "name": "A String", # The name of the topic. It must have the format `"projects/{project}/topics/{topic}"`. `{topic}` must start with a letter, and contain only letters (`[A-Za-z]`), numbers (`[0-9]`), dashes (`-`), underscores (`_`), periods (`.`), tildes (`~`), plus (`+`) or percent signs (`%`). It must be between 3 and 255 characters in length, and it must not start with `"goog"`.

            },
            "data": "A String", # The message payload. For JSON requests, the value of this field must be base64-encoded.
            "publishTime": "A String", # The time at which the message was published, populated by the server when it receives the `Publish` call. It must not be populated by the publisher in a `Publish` call.
            "messageId": "A String", # ID of this message, assigned by the server when the message is published. Guaranteed to be unique within the topic.
