Common Returned Parameters

Common return parameters are the parameters that will be returned each time the cloud API is called. These parameters are discussed in the document for each API. Here's a list of common return parameters:

Take Query Scaling Group List(DescribeScalingGroup) as an example, the possible common return parameters when the API call succeeds or fails are as follows:

1. Common Return Parameters When API Call Succeeds

If the API call succeeds, the common return parameters will be in the following format:

{
    "code":"0",
    "message":"",
        <Instruction return parameters>
}

An error code of 0 means the API call succeeded. In addition, since the API call succeeded, the message field for error information will be empty.

2. Common Return Parameters When API Call Fails

If the API call fails, the common return parameters will be in the following format:

{
    "code":"XXXX",
    "message":"(XXXX)XXXXX",
        <Instruction return parameters>
}

The error code is not 0, which means the API call failed. In addition, since the API call failed, the message field will display detailed error information.
