You can call NAS API operations by sending HTTP or HTTPS requests based on URLs. Each URL must contain request parameters. This topic describes the syntax of HTTP or HTTPS requests and provides the endpoints of the NAS API.
Sample request
http(s)://nas.cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/?Action=CreateFileSystem
&EncryptType=1
&ProtocolType=NFS
&StorageType=Performance

Protocols
You can send requests over HTTP or HTTPS. For security purposes, we recommend that you send requests over HTTPS.
Endpoints
The following table lists the endpoints of the NAS API. To minimize the network latency, we recommend that you specify the endpoint based on the region where you make API requests.
