Adds a Thing Specification Language (TSL) feature to a specified product. You can specify the extended information about the feature.

Limits

  • If a product is published, you must call the CancelReleaseProduct operation to unpublish the product before you call this operation.
  • Before you call the operation, you can use the json-schema library to verify the input parameters in ThingModelJson. For more information, see Data structure of ThingModelJson.
  • You can call this operation to add a maximum of 10 TSL features. TSL features include properties, services, and events.
  • Each Alibaba Cloud account can run a maximum of 5 queries per second (QPS).
    Note RAM users of an Alibaba Cloud account share the quota of the account.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates a sample code of the operation for different SDKs.
