    1. API Description

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

    This API is used to apply for one or more Elastic IP Addresses (EIPs for short).

    • An EIP is a static IP address that is dedicated for dynamic cloud computing. You can quickly re-map an EIP to another instance under your account to protect against instance failures.
    • Your EIP is associated with your Tencent Cloud account rather than an instance. It remains associated with your Tencent Cloud account until you choose to explicitly release it or your account is in arrears for more than 24 hours.
    • The maximum number of EIPs that can be applied for a Tencent Cloud account in each region is restricted. For more information, see EIP Product Introduction. You can get the quota information through the DescribeAddressQuota API.

    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: vpc.ap-shanghai-fsi.tencentcloudapi.com

    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.

    Region Yes String Common parameter. For more information, please see the list of regions supported by the product.
    AddressCount No Integer The number of EIPs. Default: 1.
    InternetServiceProvider No String The EIP line type. Default: BGP.

      • BANDWIDTH_PACKAGE: paid by the bandwidth package(who must also be bandwidth package beta users)
      • BANDWIDTH_POSTPAID_BY_HOUR: billed by hourly bandwidth on a pay-as-you-go basis
      • BANDWIDTH_PREPAID_BY_MONTH: monthly bandwidth subscription
      • TRAFFIC_POSTPAID_BY_HOUR: billed by hourly traffic on a pay-as-you-go basis
      Default value: TRAFFIC_POSTPAID_BY_HOUR

    • For bill-by-IP account beta users, valid values:
      • BANDWIDTH_PACKAGE: 1 Mbps to 1000 Mbps

      • TRAFFIC_POSTPAID_BY_HOUR: 1 Mbps to 100 Mbps
      Default value: 1 Mbps
    • If you are not a bill-by-IP account beta user, the EIP outbound bandwidth cap is subject to that of the instance bound to the EIP. Therefore, you do not need to pass in this parameter.
    AddressChargePrepaid No AddressChargePrepaid A required billing parameter for an EIP billed by monthly bandwidth subscription. For EIPs using other billing modes, it can be ignored.
    AddressType No String The EIP type. Default: EIP.

      • [Disused] ANYCAST_ZONE_B: publishing region B (updated to ANYCAST_ZONE_GLOBAL)
      Default: ANYCAST_ZONE_OVERSEAS.
    ApplicableForCLB No Boolean [Disused]
    Whether the Anycast EIP can be bound to CLB instances.
