Overview

Welcome to Distributed Message Service for Kafka API Reference. Distributed Message Service (DMS) for Kafka is a message queuing service that is based on the open-source Apache Kafka. It provides Kafka premium instances with isolated computing, storage, and bandwidth resources. DMS for Kafka allows you to apply resources, configure topics, partitions, and replicas based on service requirements. The service can be used out of the box and frees you from deployment and O&M so that you can focus on the agile development of your applications.

This document describes the functions, syntax, parameters, and examples of the application programming interfaces (APIs) of DMS for Kafka.

DMS for Kafka is continuously upgraded with new functions, and the existing APIs are inevitably adjusted. For example, new response parameters may be added.

To reduce the impact of API changes, DMS for Kafka is backward compatible with existing APIs. When using DMS for Kafka, you should recognize and ignore unused parameters and parameter values in JSON responses.
