1. API Description
Domain name for API request: cvm.intl.tencentcloudapi.com.
This API is used to associate key pairs with instances.
- If the public key of a key pair is written to the
SSHconfiguration of the instance, users will be able to log in to the instance with the private key of the key pair. - If the instance is already associated with a key, the old key will become invalid.
If you currently use a password to log in, you will no longer be able to do so after you associate the instance with a key. - Batch operations are supported. The maximum number of instances in each request is 100. If any instance in the request cannot be associated with a key, you will get an error code.
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.
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: AssociateInstancesKeyPairs. |
| Version | Yes | String | Common Params. The value used for this API: 2017-03-12. |
| Region | Yes | String | Common Params. For more information, please see the list of regions supported by the product. |
| InstanceIds.N | Yes | Array of String | Instance ID(s). The maximum number of instances in each request is 100. You can obtain the available instance IDs in two ways: InstanceId in the response. |
| KeyIds.N | Yes | Array of String | Key ID(s). The maximum number of key pairs in each request is 100. The key pair ID is in the format of skey-3glfot13. You can obtain the available key pair IDs in two ways: KeyId in the response. |
| ForceStop | No | Boolean | Whether to force shut down a running instances. It is recommended to manually shut down a running instance before associating a key pair with it. Valid values: Default value: FALSE. |
3. Output Parameters
| Parameter Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 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
Example1 Binding a key pair to CVM
Input Example
GET https://cvm.intl.tencentcloudapi.com/?Action=AssociateInstancesKeyPairs
&InstanceIds.0=ins-1e4r6y8i
&InstanceIds.1=ins-3e56fg78
&KeyIds.0=skey-4e5ty7i8
