    The event to be processed by the function. Set this parameter to a binary string. Function Compute passes the event to the function for processing.

    		{"key":"value"}
    X-Fc-Stateful-Async-Invocation-IdstringNo

    The ID of the asynchronous task. You must enable the asynchronous task feature in advance.

    NoteWhen you use an SDK to invoke a function, we recommend that you specify a business-related ID to facilitate subsequent operations. For example, you can use the video name as the invocation ID for a video-processing function. This way, you can use the ID to check whether the video is processed or terminate the processing of the video. The ID must start with a letter or an underscore (_) and can contain letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-). The ID can be up to 128 characters in length. If you do not specify the ID of the asynchronous invocation, Function Compute automatically generates an ID.
