Realtime Compute for Apache Flink is a one-stop platform for development and operations management. You can call APIs using methods such as online debugging in OpenAPI, the Alibaba Cloud software development kit (SDK), and . To improve your Flink development efficiency, choose a method based on your requirements. This topic describes the basic information about the OpenAPI for Realtime Compute for Apache Flink and the relationships between Flink entities.
Basic information
Alibaba Cloud provides the OpenAPI website to help developers learn and use cloud product OpenAPI quickly and efficiently. The website integrates features such as intelligent OpenAPI search, documentation, online debugging, SDKs, code samples, error diagnosis, and call statistics. In the OpenAPI Portal, you can call the OpenAPI of various Alibaba Cloud products and view the requests and responses. The OpenAPI Portal also automatically generates SDK call examples to help you quickly use Alibaba Cloud products. For more information, see What is OpenAPI?.
Version guide
Alibaba Cloud OpenAPI uses version numbers to manage the APIs for major versions of cloud products.

Endpoint description
To achieve the lowest latency, select the service endpoint for the region where your workspace is located.
For example, the VPC endpoint for the development console in Singapore is ververica-vpc.ap-southeast-1.aliyuncs.com.
Online debugging
The OpenAPI Portal provides features such as online API calls, dynamic SDK code sample generation, and quick API retrieval. These features make it much easier to use APIs. Before you make a call, you must be familiar with the Flink versions and endpoints. Each API version has a different debugging entry. Select the entry that corresponds to your version.
