Describes one or more of your SSH key pairs.

Request parameters

Name Type Required Description
Action String Yes The name of this interface. Value: DescribeKeyPairs.
RegionId String Yes  The ID of the region to which your SSH key pairs belong. For more information, call DescribeRegions to obtain the latest region list.
KeyPairFingerPrint String No The fingerprint of the key pair. The public key fingerprint format is defined in RFC4716 and uses the MD5 message digest algorithm. For more information, see RFC4716.
KeyPairName String No The key pair name. You can use the regular expression and the symbol * for fuzzy string search of a key pair name. Sample patterns:

  • SshKey*: Matches the string set beginning with SshKey, including SshKey.
  • *SshKey*: Matches the string set with SshKey within, including SshKey.
  • SshKey: Matches the string set SshKey.
PageNumber Integer No Displays the SSH key pairs on several pages.  Start value: 1.

Default value: 1.
PageSize Integer No The maximum entries on a page. Maximum value: 50.

Default value: 10.
Tag.n.Key String Yes The key of a tag of which n is from 1 to 20. Once you use this parameter, it cannot be a null string. It can be up to 64 characters in length. It cannot begin with "aliyun", "acs:", "http://", or "https://".
Tag.n.Value String Yes The value of a tag of which n is a number from 1 to 20. Once you use this parameter, it can be a null string. It can be up to 128 characters in length. It cannot begin with "aliyun", "acs:", "http://", or "https://".
