Queries media workflow execution instances.

Operation description

  • You can call this operation to query a maximum of 10 media workflow execution instances at a time.

  • Before you call this operation, make sure that the workflow pipeline is enabled. Otherwise, the workflow may not run as expected. For example, the following exceptions may occur: the workflow node is invalid and jobs created in the workflow cannot be executed.

QPS limit

You can call this operation up to 100 times per second per account. Requests that exceed this limit are dropped and you will experience service interruptions. We recommend that you take note of this limit when you call this operation. For more information, see QPS limit.

Try this API in OpenAPI Explorer, no manual signing needed. Successful calls auto-generate SDK code matching your parameters. Download it with built-in credential security for local usage.

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.

State

string

The status of the media workflow. Valid values:

  • Running: The media workflow is running.

  • Completed: The media workflow is complete.

Note

Completed only indicates that the media workflow is complete. View the status of each method in the workflow, such as the transcode and snapshot methods, to check whether the method is called.

  • Fail: The media workflow fails.

Completed
