Before You Start

Overview

The Anti-DDoS service protects public IP addresses against Layer 4 to Layer 7 distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks and sends alarms immediately when detecting an attack. Anti-DDoS improves the bandwidth utilization and ensures the stable running of user services.

This document describes how to use application programming interfaces (APIs) to perform operations to Anti-DDoS, such as querying or updating Anti-DDoS protection policy. For details about all supported operations, see API Overview.

Before calling Anti-DDoS APIs, ensure that you are familiar with Anti-DDoS concepts. For details, see section "Service Overview" of the Anti-DDoS User Guide.

API Calling

Anti-DDoS provides Representational State Transfer (REST) APIs, allowing you to use HTTPS requests to call them. For details, see API Calling.

Notes and Constraints

For details about the constraints, see the API description.
