Request

HTTP request

GET https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/project/zones/zone/targetInstances

Parameters

Parameter name	Value	Description
Path parameters
`project`	`string`	Project ID for this request.
`zone`	`string`	Name of the zone scoping this request.
Optional query parameters
`filter`	`string`	Filter expression for filtering listed resources, in the form `filter={expression}` . Your `{expression}` must contain the following: <field_name> <comparison_string> <literal_string> `<field_name>` : The name of the field you want to compare. The field name must be valid for the type of resource being filtered. Only atomic field types are supported (string, number, boolean). Array and object fields are not currently supported. `<comparison_string>` : The comparison string, either `eq` (equals) or `ne` (not equals). `<literal_string>` : The literal string value to filter to. The literal value must be valid for the type of field (string, number, boolean). For string fields, the literal value is interpreted as a regular expression using RE2 syntax . The literal value must match the entire field. For example, when filtering instances, `name eq my_instance` won't work, but `name eq .my_instance` will work. For example: filter=status ne RUNNING The above filter returns only results whose `status` field does not equal `RUNNING` . You can also enclose your literal string in single, double, or no quotes. For example, all three of the following would be valid expressions: filter=status ne "RUNNING" filter=status ne 'RUNNING' filter=status ne RUNNING If you use a complex regular expression, you need to encode the special characters, including quotes. Consider the following regular expression: name eq './my_instance_[0-9]+' To use the expression, you would need to encode it: filter=name%20eq%20%27.%2A%2Fmy_instance_%5B0-9%5D%2B%27&
`maxResults`	`unsigned integer`	Maximum count of results to be returned. Maximum value is 500 and default value is 100. Acceptable values are `0` to `500` , inclusive. (Default: `100` )
`pageToken`	`string`	Specifies a `nextPageToken` returned by a previous list request. This token can be used to request the next page of results from a previous list request.
