How to find, list, or search resources across services (APIs) and projects in Google Cloud Platform?

Question

In Google Cloud Platform (GCP), you can use list APIs or commands to list resources in a given project for a given type in a given service, like BigQuery datasets or compute

Answer 1

You can use search-all-resources to search all the resources across services (or APIs) and projects for a given organization, folder, or project.

To search all the resources in a project with number 123:

$ gcloud beta asset search-all-resources --scope=projects/123

To limit to only compute resources:

$ gcloud beta asset search-all-resources --scope=projects/123 --query="compute.googleapis.com"

To limit to only resources containing "foo" as a sub string:

$ gcloud beta asset search-all-resources --scope=projects/123 --query="*foo*"

To list all the projects within an organization 456:

$ gcloud beta asset search-all-resources --scope=organizations/456 --asset-types=cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com/Project

To find all the BigQuery datasets containing "foo" as a sub string within an organization 456:

$ gcloud beta asset search-all-resources --scope=organizations/456 --query="bigquery datasets *foo*"

You can set the scope to a project, a folder or an organization.

To use the command, you must:

• Enable Cloud Asset API, and

• Have cloudasset.assets.searchAllResources permission upon the scope, which is included in these roles:

  • roles/cloudasset.viewer
  • roles/cloudasset.owner
  • roles/viewer
  • roles/editor
  • roles/owner
