Last updated: 2023-12-04 16:31:55

    1. API Description

    Domain name for API request: lighthouse.tencentcloudapi.com.

    This API is used to start one or more instances.

    • You can only perform this operation on instances whose status is STOPPED.
    • The instance status will become STARTING when the API is called successfully and will become RUNNING when the instance is successfully started.
    • Batch operations are supported. The maximum number of instances in each request is 100.
    • This API is async. After the request is sent successfully, a RequestId will be returned. At this time, the operation is not completed immediately. The result of the instance operation can be queried by calling the DescribeInstances API. If the latest operation status (LatestOperationState) of the instance is SUCCESS, the operation is successful.

    A maximum of 10 requests can be initiated per second for this API.

    We recommend you to use API Explorer
    Try it
    API Explorer provides a range of capabilities, including online call, signature authentication, SDK code generation, and API quick search. It enables you to view the request, response, and auto-generated examples.
