Function

This API is used to create a topic for a Kafka instance.

Calling Method

For details, see Calling APIs.

URI

POST /v2/{project_id}/instances/{instance_id}/topics

Table 1 Path Parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

project_id

Yes

String

Project ID. For details about how to obtain it, see Obtaining a Project ID.

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 64

instance_id

Yes

String

Instance ID.

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 64

Request Parameters

Table 2 Request body parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

id

Yes

String

Topic name. A topic name consists of 3 to 200 characters, starts with a letter, and contains only letters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), periods (.), and digits.

Minimum: 3

Maximum: 200

replication

No

Integer

Number of replicas, which is configured to ensure data reliability. Value range: 1 to 3.

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 3

sync_message_flush

No

Boolean

Whether synchronous flushing is enabled. The default value is false. Synchronous flushing compromises performance.

partition

No

Integer

Number of topic partitions, which is used to set the number of concurrently consumed messages.Value range: 1–100.

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 100

sync_replication

No

Boolean

Whether synchronous replication is enabled. After this function is enabled, the acks parameter on the producer client must be set to –1. Otherwise, this parameter does not take effect.

retention_time

No

Integer

Indicates the retention period of a message. The default value is 72.Value range: 1–168. Unit: hour.

topic_other_configs

No

Array of topic_other_configs objects

Topic configuration.

Array Length: 0 - 100

topic_desc

No

String

Topic description.

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 200

Table 3 topic_other_configs

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

name

No

String

Configuration name.

value

No

String

Configuration value.

Response Parameters

Status code: 200

Table 4 Response body parameters

Parameter

Type

Description

name

String

Topic name.

Minimum: 3

Maximum: 200

Example Requests
