1. API Description

Domain name for API request: cvm.tencentcloudapi.com.

This API is used to query key pairs.

  • A key pair is a pair of keys generated by an algorithm in which the public key is available to the public and the private key is available only to the user. You can use this API to query the public key but not the private key.

A maximum of 10 requests can be initiated per second for this API.

Note: This API supports Finance regions. If the common parameter Region is a Finance region, a domain name with the Finance region needs to be specified, for example: cvm.ap-shanghai-fsi.tencentcloudapi.com
