Request parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description	Example
RegionId	string	Yes	The zone ID of the preemptible instance.	cn-hangzhou
ZoneId	string	No	The spot price (market price) of the preemptible instance.	cn-hangzhou-g
NetworkType	string	Yes	The network type of the preemptible instance. Valid values: classic: classic network vpc: Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)	vpc
InstanceType	string	Yes	The beginning of the time range to query. Specify the time in the ISO 8601 standard in the `yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ` format. The time must be in UTC. The specified time can be up to 30 days earlier than the specified EndTime value. This parameter is empty by default. If this parameter is empty, the time that is 3 hours earlier than the specified EndTime value is used.	ecs.t1.xsmall
SpotDuration	integer	No	The protection period of the preemptible instance. Unit: hours. Default value: 1. Valid values: 1: After a preemptible instance is created, Alibaba Cloud ensures that the instance is not automatically released within 1 hour. After the 1-hour protection period ends, the system compares the bid price with the market price and checks the resource inventory to determine whether to retain or release the instance. 0: After a preemptible instance is created, Alibaba Cloud does not ensure that the instance runs for 1 hour. The system compares the bid price with the market price and checks the resource inventory to determine whether to retain or release the instance. Alibaba Cloud sends an ECS system event to notify you 5 minutes before the instance is released. Preemptible instances are billed by second. We recommend that you specify a protection period based on your business requirements. Note This parameter takes effect only if you set SpotStrategy to SpotWithPriceLimit or SpotAsPriceGo.	1
IoOptimized	string	No	Specifies whether the instance is I/O optimized. Valid values: optimized: The instance is I/O optimized. none: The instance is not I/O optimized. For instances of generation I instance families, the default value is none. For instances of other instance families, the default value is optimized.	optimized
StartTime	string	No	The beginning of the time range to query. The value of this parameter and the value of EndTime can be up to 30 days apart. Specify the time in the ISO 8601 standard in the `yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ` format. The time must be in UTC. This parameter is left empty by default. If this parameter is empty, the time that is 3 hours earlier than the value of EndTime is used.	2017-08-22T08:45:08Z
EndTime	string	No	The end of the time range to query. Specify the time in the ISO 8601 standard in the `yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ` format. The time must be in UTC. This parameter is empty by default. If this parameter is empty, the current time is used.	2017-08-22T08:45:08Z
OSType	string	No	The type of the operating system platform. Valid values: linux windows	linux
Offset	integer	No	The line from which the query starts. Default value: 0	0
