Response for Successful Requests

For example, when calling CAM API (version: 2017-03-12) to view the status of instances (DescribeInstancesStatus), if the request has succeeded, you may see the response as shown below:

{
    "Response": {
        "TotalCount": 0,
        "InstanceStatusSet": [],
        "RequestId": "b5b41468-520d-4192-b42f-595cc34b6c1c"
    }
}
  • The API will return Response, which contains RequestId, as long as it processes the request. It does not matter if the request is successful or not.
  • RequestId is the unique ID of an API request. Contact us with this ID when an exception occurs.
  • Except for the fixed fields, all fields are action-specified. For the definitions of action-specified fields, see the corresponding API documentation. In this example, TotalCount and InstanceStatusSet are the fields specified by the API DescribeInstancesStatus. 0 TotalCount means that the requester owns 0 CVM instance so the InstanceStatusSet is empty.

Response for Failed Requests

If the request has failed, you may see the response as shown below:

{
    "Response": {
        "Error": {
            "Code": "AuthFailure.SignatureFailure",
            "Message": "The provided credentials could not be validated. Please ensure your signature is correct."
        },
        "RequestId": "ed93f3cb-f35e-473f-b9f3-0d451b8b79c6"
    }
}
  • The presence of the Error field indicates that the request has failed. A response for a failed request will include Error, Code and Message fields.
  • Code is the code of the error that helps you identify the cause and solution. There are two types of error codes so you may find the code in either common error codes or API-specified error codes.
  • Message explains the cause of the error. Note that the returned messages are subject to service updates. The information the messages provide may not be up-to-date and should not be the only source of reference.
  • RequestId is the unique ID of an API request. Contact us with this ID when an exception occurs.
