Intelligent Media Management:CreateBinding

Last Updated:Feb 26, 2026

Creates a binding relationship between a dataset and an Object Storage Service (OSS) bucket. This allows for the automatic synchronization of incremental and full data and indexing.

Operation description

Before you call this operation, make sure that you are familiar with the billing of Intelligent Media Management (IMM).****

Note

Asynchronous processing does not guarantee timely task completion.

Before you create a binding, make sure that the project and the dataset that you want to use exist.

  • For information about how to create a project, see CreateProject.

  • For information about how to create a dataset, see CreateDataset.

Note

The CreateBinding operation works by using the workflow template that is specified when you created the project or dataset.

After you create a binding between a dataset and an OSS bucket, IMM scans the existing objects in the bucket and extracts metadata based on the scanning result. Then, IMM creates an index from the extracted metadata. If new objects are uploaded to the OSS bucket, IMM tracks and scans the objects and updates the index. For objects whose metadata index is created by calling this operation, you can call query operations, such as SimpleQuery, to query objects, manage objects, and collect statistics on objects.

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.
