Global Accelerator:CreateCustomRoutingEndpoints

Last Updated:Mar 31, 2026

Creates endpoints for a custom routing listener.

Operation description

After you configure a custom routing listener for a Global Accelerator (GA) instance, the instance generates a port mapping table based on the listener port range, the protocols and port ranges of the associated endpoint groups, and the IP addresses of endpoints (vSwitches), and forwards client requests to specified IP addresses and ports in the vSwitches.

Creates endpoints for custom routing listeners. When you call this operation, take note of the following items:

  • CreateCustomRoutingEndpoints is an asynchronous operation. After you send a request, the system returns a request ID and runs the task in the background. You can call the DescribeCustomRoutingEndpointGroup operation to query the status of an endpoint group and determine whether endpoints are created in the endpoint group.

    • If the endpoint group is in the updating state, it indicates that endpoints are being created. In this case, you can perform only query operations.

    • If the endpoint group is in the active state, it indicates that endpoints are created.

  • The CreateCustomRoutingEndpoints operation cannot be called repeatedly for the same GA instance within a specific period of time.

Prerequisites

The following operations are complete before you call this operation:

  • Create a standard GA instance. For more information, see CreateAccelerator.

  • Associate a bandwidth plan with the standard GA instance. For more information, see BandwidthPackageAddAccelerator.

  • Deploy an application that serves as the endpoint of the GA instance. The application is used to receive requests that are forwarded from GA. You can specify only vSwitches as endpoints for custom routing listeners.

  • Apply for permissions to use custom routing listeners and create a custom routing listener for the standard GA instance. Custom routing listeners are in invitational preview. To use custom routing listeners, contact your account manager. For more information about how to create a custom routing listener, see CreateListener.

  • Create an endpoint group for the custom routing listener. For more information, see CreateCustomRoutingEndpointGroups.

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.

Request parameters

Parameter

Type

Required

Description

Example

RegionId

string

Yes

The ID of the region where the GA instance is deployed. Set the value to cn-hangzhou.

cn-hangzhou

ClientToken

string

No

The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request.

You can use the client to generate the token, but you must make sure that the token is unique among all requests. The token can contain only ASCII characters.

Note

If you do not set this parameter, ClientToken is set to the value of RequestId. The value of RequestId for each API request is different.

EndpointGroupId

string

Yes

The ID of the endpoint group in which to create endpoints.

epg-bp1bpn0kn908w4nb****

EndpointConfigurations

array<object>

Yes

The information about the endpoints.

You can specify information for up to 20 endpoints.

array<object>

No

The information about the endpoints.

You can specify information for up to 20 endpoints.

Type

string

No

The type of endpoint.

Set the value to PrivateSubNet, which specifies a private CIDR block. This is the default value.

PrivateSubNet

Endpoint

string

No

The ID of the vSwitch that is specified as an endpoint.

vsw-test01

TrafficToEndpointPolicy

string

No

The traffic policy that is used to process traffic to the endpoint. Valid values:

  • DenyAll (default): denies all traffic to the endpoint.

  • AllowAll: allows all traffic to the endpoint.

  • AllowCustom: allows traffic only to specified destinations in the endpoint.

If you set this parameter to AllowCustom, you must specify IP addresses and port ranges as the destinations to which traffic is distributed. If you specify only IP addresses and do not specify port ranges, GA can forward traffic to the specified IP addresses over all destination ports.
