Last updated: 2024-10-22 19:32:44

    1. API Description

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

    This API is used to import key pairs.

    • You can use this API to import key pairs to a user account, but the key pairs will not be automatically associated with any instance. You may use AssociasteInstancesKeyPair to associate key pairs with instances.
    • You need to specify the names of the key pairs and the content of the public keys.
    • If you only have private keys, you can convert them to public keys with the SSL tool before importing them.

    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.
