Overview

Welcome to Distributed Message Service for Kafka API Reference. DMS for Kafka is a message queuing service that uses the open-source Apache Kafka. It provides Kafka 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 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 are added.

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