Request Structure

Last updated: 2024-04-10 11:04:55

    1. Service Address

    The API supports access from either a nearby region (at cls.tencentcloudapi.com) or a specified region (at cls.ap-guangzhou.tencentcloudapi.com for Guangzhou, for example).

    We recommend using the domain name to access the nearest server. When you call an API, the request is automatically resolved to a server in the region nearest to the location where the API is initiated. For example, when you initiate an API request in Guangzhou, this domain name is automatically resolved to a Guangzhou server, the result is the same as that of specifying the region in the domain like "cls.ap-guangzhou.tencentcloudapi.com".

    Note: For latency-sensitive businesses, we recommend that you specify the region in the domain name.

    Tencent Cloud currently supports the following regions:

    Hosted region Domain name
