Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about API groups in API Gateway, including group limits, region selection, and domain name bindings.

API group issues

How many API groups can I create?

API group limits per region per Alibaba Cloud account:

  • Up to 200 API groups per region per Alibaba Cloud account, regardless of whether an independent domain name is bound to the API group.

  • By default, up to 5 API groups without an independent domain name per region. This limit increases to 20 if the account has API groups with a bound independent domain name in the region.

  • To request higher limits, submit a ticket.

How do I select a region to create an API group?

Select the same region as the Elastic Compute Service (ECS) or Docker resources that your backend service uses.

How many domain names can I bind to an API group?

Each API group supports up to 5 virtual private cloud (VPC) domain names and 5 Internet domain names.
