# POST /v1beta1/{+parent}/defaultLocation:finalize

`POST /v1beta1/{+parent}/defaultLocation:finalize`

**DECOMMISSIONED.** **If called, this endpoint will return a 404 error.** _Instead, use the applicable resource-specific REST API to set the location for each resource used in your Project._ Sets the ["location for default Google Cloud resources"](https://firebase.google.com/docs/projects/locations#default-cloud-location) for the specified FirebaseProject. This method creates a Google App Engine application with a [default Cloud Storage bucket](https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/googlecloudstorageclient/setting-up-cloud-storage#activating_a_cloud_storage_bucket), located in the specified [`locationId`](#body.request_body.FIELDS.location_id). This location must be one of the available [App Engine locations](https://cloud.google.com/about/locations#region). After the location for default Google Cloud resources is finalized, or if it was already set, it cannot be changed. The location for default Google Cloud resources for the specified `FirebaseProject` might already be set because either the underlying Google Cloud `Project` already has an App Engine application or `FinalizeDefaultLocation` was previously called with a specified `locationId`. The result of this call is an [`Operation`](../../v1beta1/operations), which can be used to track the provisioning process. The [`response`](../../v1beta1/operations#Operation.FIELDS.response) type of the `Operation` is google.protobuf.Empty. The `Operation` can be polled by its `name` using GetOperation until `done` is true. When `done` is true, the `Operation` has either succeeded or failed. If the `Operation` has succeeded, its [`response`](../../v1beta1/operations#Operation.FIELDS.response) will be set to a google.protobuf.Empty; if the `Operation` has failed, its `error` will be set to a google.rpc.Status. The `Operation` is automatically deleted after completion, so there is no need to call DeleteOperation. All fields listed in the [request body](#request-body) are required. To call `FinalizeDefaultLocation`, a member must be an Owner of the Project.

## Path parameters

- `parent` string, required

## Request body

- FinalizeDefaultLocationRequest
  - `locationId` string — **DEPRECATED** The ID of the Project's ["location for default Google Cloud resources"](https://firebase.google.com/docs/projects/locations#default-cloud-location), which are resources associated with Google App Engine. The location must be one of the available [Google App Engine locations](https://cloud.google.com/about/locations#region).
