DescribeAddresses

POST

Query the information of one or multiple Elastic IPs.

Wire call

Converge Cloud is RPC over HTTP. There is one path — / — and the action travels in the X-TC-Action header. The /vpc/DescribeAddresses path used in the OpenAPI document is a documentation convenience so each action is addressable; it is not a route on the server.

curl
curl -sS https://vpc.api3.convergecloud.com/ \
  -H 'Authorization: TC3-HMAC-SHA256 Credential=<SecretId>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/vpc/tc3_request, SignedHeaders=content-type;host;x-tc-action, Signature=<sig>' \

Request parameters

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
AddressIdsstring[]—List of unique IDs for identifying Elastic IP (EIP). The EIP unique ID is in the format of `eip-11112222`. You can use the DescribeAddresses API to obtain the AddressId. The parameters `AddressIds` and `Filters.address-id` cannot be specified simultaneously.
FiltersFilter[]—The maximum number of `Filters` per request is 10, and the maximum number of `Filter.Values` per request is 100. The detailed filter conditions are as follows:
Offsetinteger—The Offset. The default value is 0. For more information on Offset, see the relevant section in the API Introduction.
Limitinteger—Number of returned results. Default value: 20. Maximum value: 100. For more information on Limit, see the relevant section in the API Introduction.

Response

Fields are returned inside the Response envelope. Converge Cloud answers HTTP 200 for errors as well as successes, so read Response.Error rather than the status code — and test for the presence of that object, because Code is occasionally the empty string.

FieldTypeDescription
TotalCountintegerNumber of EIPs meeting the condition.
AddressSetAddress[]List of EIPs details.
RequestIdstringThe 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.

Behaviour

Unknown or released address ids return an empty set rather than an error. AddressStatus values include UNBIND, BIND and BIND_ENI.
