1. API Description

Domain name for API request: ecm.intl.tencentcloudapi.com.

This API is used to get the information of an instance.

A maximum of 20 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.

2. Input Parameters

The following request parameter list only provides API request parameters and some common parameters. For the complete common parameter list, see Common Request Parameters.

Parameter Name Required Type Description
Action Yes String Common Params. The value used for this API: DescribeInstances.
Version Yes String Common Params. The value used for this API: 2019-07-19.
Region No String Common Params. This parameter is not required for this API.
Filters.N No Array of Filter Filter.
zone String Required: no (Filter) Filter by AZ abbreviation.
zone-name String Required: no (Filter) Filter by AZ name. Fuzzy match is supported.
module-id String Required: no (Filter) Filter by module ID.
instance-id String Required: no (Filter) Filter by instance ID.
instance-name String Required: no (Filter) Filter by instance name. Fuzzy match is supported.
ip-address String Required: no (Filter) Filter by the instance's private/public IP.
instance-uuid string Required: no (Filter) Filter instances by uuid.
instance-state string Required: no (Filter) Update instances by instance status.
internet-service-provider String Required: no (Filter) Filter by the ISP of the instance's public IP.
tag-key String Required: no (Filter) Filter by tag key.
tag:tag-key String Required: no (Filter) Filter by tag key-value pair. Replace tag-key with the specific tag key.
instance-family String Required: no (Filter) Filter by model family.
module-name String Required: no (Filter) Filter by module name. Fuzzy match is supported.
image-id String Required: no (Filter) Filter by instance image ID.
vpc-id String Required: no (Filter) Filter by instance VPC ID.
subnet-id String Required: no (Filter) Filter by instance subnet ID.

If the Filters parameter is not specified, the information of all relevant instances will be queried.
Each request can contain up to 5 Filter.Values.
Offset No Integer Offset. Default value: 0.
Limit No Integer Number of returned results. Default value: 20 (if the number of query results is greater than or equal to 20). Maximum value: 100.
OrderByField No String Specified sort by field. Currently, valid values are as follows:
timestamp: sort by instance creation time.
Note: you can sort only by creation time currently. More sort criteria may be supported in the future.
If this parameter is not specified, instances will be sorted by creation time by default.
OrderDirection No Integer Sorting order. 0: descending; 1: ascending. If this parameter is not specified, it will be descending by default.

3. Output Parameters

Parameter Name Type Description
TotalCount Integer Length of the list of the returned instance information.
InstanceSet Array of Instance List of the returned instance information.
Note: this field may return null, indicating that no valid values can be obtained.
RequestId String The unique request ID, generated by the server, will be returned for every request (if the request fails to reach the server for other reasons, the request will not obtain a RequestId). RequestId is required for locating a problem.

4. Example
