Obtain an AccessKey
Create an AccessKey for your Alibaba Cloud account or a RAM user, and grant the RAM permissions required by the endpoint. We recommend storing the AccessKey in the environment variables
ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID and ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET instead of hard-coding them.2
Sign requests
Requests must carry the common headers
x-acs-action, x-acs-version, x-acs-date, x-acs-content-sha256, x-acs-signature-nonce, and Authorization.We recommend calling endpoints with an Alibaba Cloud SDK or OpenAPI Explorer to avoid computing signatures manually.
Usage
With OpenAPI Explorer, select the endpoint and method (POST), fill in the parameters, and send the request online — it also generates SDK samples in multiple languages.
