DescribeInstances - Elastic Compute Service - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Queries the information about Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances.

Operation description

Usage notes

You can specify multiple request parameters to filter query results. Specified request parameters have logical AND relations. Only the specified parameters are included in the filter conditions. However, if InstanceIds is set to an empty JSON array, this parameter is regarded as a valid filter condition and an empty result is returned.
If you are using a Resource Access Management (RAM) user or RAM role that does not have the permissions to call this operation, an empty list is returned. You can include DryRun in your request to check whether the empty list is caused by lack of permissions.
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.
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, set MaxResults to specify the maximum number of entries to return in the call. The return value of NextToken is a pagination token, which can be used 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 to return on each page and then use PageNumber to specify the number of the page to return.
You can use only one of the preceding methods. If a large number of entries are to be returned, we recommend that you use Method 1. When MaxResults or NextToken is specified, the PageSize and PageNumber request parameters do not take effect and the TotalCount response parameter is invalid.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer.
