AllocateEipAddress - Elastic IP Address - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Applies for an elastic IP address (EIP).

Operation description

Before you call this operation, make sure that you are familiar with the billing methods and pricing of EIPs. For more information, see Billing overview.

After you call this operation, the system randomly allocates an EIP that is in the Available state in the specified region. EIPs support only the ICMP, TCP, and UDP transport layer protocols. The IGMP and SCTP protocols are not supported.

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.
