DescribeApiDoc

Description

For querying descriptive documents of a specified API.

• This function is intended for API callers. The specified API must be a public API or an authorized private API that is released to the running stage.
• If you are an API caller, the service information, parameter definition and other details of the API you specify are returned to you.
• If you are an API activator, you can call the API to view the definition of the specified API running in the specified stage. The definition is the one taking effect in the stage and may be different from the definition of the API you modify.
• If you are an API activator, you must confirm that the API is a public API or your app has been authorized because authentication on API callers is required.
