Anti-DDoS:DescribeInstanceIpAddress

Last Updated:Jan 19, 2026

Queries the details of the assets within the current Alibaba Cloud account and the details of the Anti-DDoS Origin instance to which the assets belong. The assets can be elastic IP addresses (EIPs). The assets can also be Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances or Server Load Balancer (SLB) instances that are assigned public IP addresses.

Operation description

If one or more assets of the current Alibaba Cloud account are added to an Anti-DDoS Origin instance, you can call the DescribeInstanceIpAddress operation to query the DDoS mitigation information and the details of the Anti-DDoS Origin instance. The information and the details include the basic protection threshold and traffic scrubbing threshold for the assets, DDoS mitigation status of the assets, ID of the instance, and the mitigation status of the instance.

Limits

You can call this operation up to 200 times per second per account. If the number of the calls per second exceeds the limit, throttling is triggered. As a result, your business may be affected. We recommend that you take note of the limit when you call this operation.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
