Computes an arbitrary value. This will fail if the result of the Expression is not something that is expressible as a Value, or if its evaluation requires too many resources. While it is possible (and not an error) to compute any type of object here, in general any Expression producing results that are better suited to one of the other Compute* endpoints should use that endpoint instead (e.g., an Expression whose result is a set of features should use ComputeFeatures).
HTTP request
POST https://earthengine.googleapis.com/v1alpha/{project=projects/*}/value:compute
The project id or project number of the Google Cloud Platform project that should be treated as the service consumer for this request. Format is projects/{project-id}.
Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource project:
earthengine.computations.create
Request body
The request body contains data with the following structure:
[[["Easy to understand","easyToUnderstand","thumb-up"],["Solved my problem","solvedMyProblem","thumb-up"],["Other","otherUp","thumb-up"]],[["Missing the information I need","missingTheInformationINeed","thumb-down"],["Too complicated / too many steps","tooComplicatedTooManySteps","thumb-down"],["Out of date","outOfDate","thumb-down"],["Samples / code issue","samplesCodeIssue","thumb-down"],["Other","otherDown","thumb-down"]],["Last updated 2025-03-06 UTC."],[[["Computes an arbitrary value based on a provided expression using the Earth Engine API."],["Utilizes the `POST` method and requires specifying the project ID in the URL."],["Request body includes the expression to compute and an optional workload tag for tracking."],["Successful responses contain the computed value in a structured format."],["Requires specific OAuth scopes for authorization, like `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/earthengine`."]]],["The `compute` endpoint evaluates an arbitrary expression, returning its result as a `Value`. A POST request is made to `https://earthengine.googleapis.com/v1alpha/{project=projects/*}/value:compute`, requiring `earthengine.computations.create` IAM permission. The request body contains the `expression` to compute and an optional `workloadTag`. The response returns the `result` of the computation in `Value` format, and requires one of the provided OAuth scopes for authorization. Other `Compute*` endpoints should be used if they are better suited for the task.\n"]]
