How to use google VM as a public Server

[Joel_Bird]

Hey, Im using google VM, I want to make get api requests to the Virtual Machine. I saw in the docs google only accepts json formatted requests and not URL requests. Is there anyway to make URL requests?

Hello @Joel_Bird,

Were you referring to this document?

The Compute Engine API expects API requests to be in JSON format. To make an API request, you can either make a direct HTTP request, by using tools like curl or httplib2, or you can use one of the available client libraries.

Hey, thanks for the reply, but I'm trying to handle incoming requests, not send them out
