Function

Function This API is used to create a VPC endpoint for accessing a VPC endpoint service.

URI

POST /v1/{project_id}/vpc-endpoints

**Table 1** Path Parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
project_id	Yes	String	Project ID. Minimum: 1 Maximum: 64

Request Parameters

**Table 2** Request header parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description

Content-Type	Yes	String	Specifies the MIME type of the request body. Default value application/json is recommended. For APIs used to upload objects or images, the MIME type varies depending on the flow type. Minimum: 1 Maximum: 64

**Table 3** Request body parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
subnet_id	No	String	Note: This parameter is mandatory to create an interface VPC endpoint. The ID must be the ID of the subnet created in the VPC specified by vpc_id and in the format of UUID. For details, see the id field in the response information of the section "Querying Subnet Details" in the Virtual Private Cloud API Reference. This parameter is mandatory when you create a VPC endpoint for connecting an interface VPC endpoint service. Note: ● The subnet CIDR block of the VPC cannot overlap with 198.19.128.0/17. ● The destination address of the custom route in the VPC route table cannot overlap with 198.19.128.0/17. Minimum: 1 Maximum: 64
endpoint_service_id	Yes	String	Specifies the ID of the VPC endpoint service. You can obtain the ID of the VPC endpoint service to be connected by querying the section "VPCEP Service Overview". Minimum: 1 Maximum: 64
vpc_id	Yes	String	Specifies the ID of the VPC where the VPC endpoint is located. For details, see the id field in the response information of the section "Querying VPC Details" in the Elastic Cloud Server API Reference. Minimum: 1 Maximum: 64
enable_dns	No	Boolean	Specifies whether to create a domain name. ● true: A domain name is required. ● false: A domain name is not required. The default value is false. Note: When you create a VPC endpoint for connecting a gateway VPC endpoint service, no domain name is created if enable_dns is set to true or false. Default: false
tags	No	Array of TagList objects	Specifies the tag list. If there is no tag in the list, tags is taken as an empty array.
routetables	No	Array of strings	Specifies the IDs of route tables. For details, see the id field in the response information of the section "Querying a VPC Route" in the Virtual Private Cloud API Reference. This parameter is mandatory when you create a VPC endpoint for connecting a gateway VPC endpoint service. Note: If this parameter is not configured, use the default route table.
port_ip	No	String	Specifies the IP address for accessing the associated VPC endpoint service. You can specify IP addresses for accessing the associated VPC endpoint service when creating a VPC endpoint. Only IPv4 addresses are supported. This parameter is mandatory when you create a VPC endpoint for connecting an interface VPC endpoint service. Minimum: 1 Maximum: 128
whitelist	No	Array of strings	Specifies whitelists added for controlling access to the VPC endpoint. IPv4 addresses or CIDR blocks can be specified to control access when you create a VPC endpoint. The whitelist is left blank by default. This parameter is available only when you create a VPC endpoint for connecting to an interface VPC endpoint service.
enable_whitelist	No	Boolean	Specifies whether access control is enabled.
description	No	String	Specifies the description field. The value can contain characters such as letters and digits, but cannot contain less than signs (<) and great than signs (>).

**Table 4** TagList
