Accessing Your Dart REST API
After deployment, gcloud displays a Service URL on the command line. Use that URL to send requests to the server. For example, to register a user:
curl -X POST -d '{"email": "newuser@example.com", "password": "pass1234"}' https://mnote-l5z2wfy3ia-ew.a.run.app/v1/users/register
Replace https://mnote-l5z2wfy3ia-ew.a.run.app with the service URL gcloud displayed.
Where to Go From Here
