Response

After sending a request, you will receive a response, including the status code, response header, and response body.

Status Code

A status code is a group of digits, ranging from 1xx to 5xx. It indicates the status of a request. For more information, see Status Codes.

If status code 201 is returned for calling the API used to obtain a user token, the request is successful.

Response Header

Similar to a request, a response also has a header, for example, Content-Type.

Type: string. request_id-timestamp-hostname (request_id is the UUID generated on the server. timestamp indicates the current timestamp, and hostname is the name of the server that processes the current API.)

Default value: none

No

X-ratelimit

This field carries the total number of flow control requests.

Type: integer

Default value: none

No

The following figure shows the response header for the API used to obtain a user token

x-subject-token is the desired user token. This token can then be used to authenticate the calling of other APIs.

Response Body

The body of a response is often returned in a structured format as specified in Content-Type. The response body transfers content except the response header.

For the API used to obtain a user token, the response body is as follows:

{
    "token": {
        "expires_at": "2019-02-13T06:52:13.855000Z",
        "methods": [
            "password"
        ],
        "catalog": [
            {
                "endpoints": [
                    {
                        "region_id": "cn-north-1",
......

If an error occurs during API calling, an error code and a message will be displayed. The following shows an error response body.

{
    "error_msg": "The API does not exist or has not been publish in the environment",
    "error_code": "IVA.0101",
    "request_id": "8ec47b9ec686af9976bed342d5cd5e06"
}

In the error response body, error_code is an error code, and error_msg provides information about the error. For more information, see Error Codes.
