1. API Description

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

This API is used to create one or more cloud disks.

• This API supports creating a cloud disk with a data disk snapshot so that the snapshot data can be copied to the purchased cloud disk.
• This API is an async API. A cloud disk ID list will be returned when a request is made successfully, but it does not mean that the creation has been completed. You can call the DescribeDisks API to query cloud disks by DiskId. If a new cloud disk can be found and its state is 'UNATTACHED' or 'ATTACHED', it means that the cloud disk has been created successfully.

A maximum of 20 requests can be initiated per second for this API.

2. Input Parameters

The following request parameter list only provides API request parameters and some common parameters. For the complete common parameter list, see Common Request Parameters.
This document describes the parameters for Signature V1. It's recommended to use the V3 signature, which provides higher security. Note that for Signature V3, the common parameters need to be placed in the HTTP Header. See details.
