Elastic Compute Service:DescribeInstances

Last Updated:Nov 18, 2024

Queries Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances by various filter conditions. The details of the queried ECS instances are returned in the response.

Operation description

  • Instructions

    • When you call the API operation by using Alibaba Cloud CLI, you must specify request parameter values of different data types in the required formats. For more information, see Parameter formats.
    • If you use a Resource Access Management (RAM) user or RAM role that does not have the permissions to call this operation, an empty list is returned.
  • Suggestions

    • Specify DryRun in the request to perform a dry run. In the dry run, the system checks the validity and authorization status of the parameters.

    • You can use one of the following methods to check the responses:

      • Method 1: During a paged query, when you call the DescribeInstances operation to retrieve the first page of results, use MaxResults to specify the maximum number of entries to return in the call. The return value of NextToken is a pagination token, which you can use in the next request to retrieve a new page of results. When you call the DescribeInstances operation to retrieve a new page of results, set NextToken to the NextToken value returned in the previous call and set MaxResults to specify the maximum number of entries to return in this call.
      • Method 2: Use PageSize to specify the number of entries per page, and then use PageNumber to specify the page number.

      You can use only one of the preceding methods. If a large number of entries are returned, we recommend that you use Method 1.

      **

      Note If you specify MaxResults or NextToken, the PageSize and PageNumber request parameters do not take effect and the TotalCount response parameter is invalid.

Debugging

You can run this interface directly in OpenAPI Explorer, saving you the trouble of calculating signatures. After running successfully, OpenAPI Explorer can automatically generate SDK code samples.

Authorization information

The following table shows the authorization information corresponding to the API. The authorization information can be used in the Action policy element to grant a RAM user or RAM role the permissions to call this API operation. Description:

  • Operation: the value that you can use in the Action element to specify the operation on a resource.
  • Access level: the access level of each operation. The levels are read, write, and list.
  • Resource type: the type of the resource on which you can authorize the RAM user or the RAM role to perform the operation. Take note of the following items:
    • The required resource types are displayed in bold characters.
    • If the permissions cannot be granted at the resource level, All Resources is used in the Resource type column of the operation.
  • Condition Key: the condition key that is defined by the cloud service.
  • Associated operation: other operations that the RAM user or the RAM role must have permissions to perform to complete the operation. To complete the operation, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform the associated operations.
