    Warning

    API requests initiated in OpenAPI Explorer perform real operations on your resources, equivalent to actions in the Alibaba Cloud Management Console. Proceed with caution.

    Procedure

    1. Log on to OpenAPI Explorer.

    2. In the top navigation bar, move the pointer over Cloud Products and select the cloud service that you want to manage.

    3. On the homepage of the cloud service, click Debug in the upper-right corner. On the debugging page, you can view the list of operations of the cloud service.

    5. View the call result.

      1. If the call is successful, you can directly view the information returned by the operation.

      2. If an error message is returned, you can modify the request parameters based on the error message or troubleshoot the issue by copying the error message to the OpenAPI problem diagnosis page. An error message may be returned due to various reasons such as invalid or missing parameters or network issues.
