Table 3 Parameter description

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

tags

No

Array

Specifies the included tags. A maximum of 20 keys are allowed for each query operation, and each key can have a maximum of 20 values.

The tag key cannot be left blank or set to an empty string.

Each tag key and each tag value of the same tag key must be unique.

For details, see Table 4.

limit

No

Integer

Sets the page size. This parameter is available when action is set to filter. Both the default value and maximum value are 1000, and the minimum value is 1. The value cannot be a negative integer.

offset

No

Integer

Specifies the index position. The query starts from the next load balancer indexed by this parameter. This parameter is not required when you query load balancers on the first page. The value in the response returned for querying the load balancers on the previous page will be included in this parameter for querying the load balancers on subsequent pages. This parameter is not available when action is set to count. If action is set to filter, the value must be a positive integer, and the default value is 0.

action

Yes

String

Identifies the operation. The value can be filter or count.

filter: indicates pagination query.

count: indicates that all load balancers meeting the search criteria will be returned.

matches

No

Array

Specifies the search criteria. The tag key is the parameter to match, for example, resource_name. value indicates the value of the match content. The key is a fixed dictionary value.

Currently, only resource_name can be used for search. For details, see Table 5.

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

key

Yes

String

Specifies the tag key. It contains a maximum of 127 Unicode characters and cannot be left blank. (This parameter is not verified in the search process.)

values

Yes

Array

Lists the tag values. Each tag value can contain a maximum of 255 Unicode characters. The values are in the OR relationship.

If no tag values in the list, the tag key is used for full search. If each value in the list starts with an asterisk (*), fuzzy match is performed based on the part after the asterisk.
