      Parameter Name Type Description
      ImageId String Image ID.
      Note: This field may return null, indicating that no valid value was found.
      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
