Quota Center:API overview

Last Updated:Sep 18, 2025

API standard and pre-built SDKs in multi-language

The OpenAPI specification of this product (quotas/2020-05-10) follows the RPC standard. Alibaba Cloud provides pre-built SDKs for popular programming languages to abstract low-level complexities such as request signing. This enables developers to call APIs using language-specific syntax without dealing with HTTP details directly.

Custom signature

If your specific needs, such as a customized signature, are not supported by the SDK, manually sign requests using the signature mechanism. Note that manual signing requires significant effort (usually about 5 business days). For support, join our DingTalk group (ID: 147535001692).

Before you begin

An Alibaba Cloud account has full administrative privileges. A compromised AccessKey pair exposes all associated resources to unauthorized access, posing a significant security risk. Create a Resource Access Management (RAM) user with API-only access and use RAM policies to apply the principle of least privilege (PoLP). Alibaba Cloud accounts are only used when explicitly required.

To call APIs securely, configure the following:

Quota

Quota Increase Requests

API

Title

Description

GetQuotaApplication GetQuotaApplication Queries the details of a quota increase application.
ListQuotaApplications ListQuotaApplications Queries applications for quota increases.
GetQuotaApplicationApproval GetQuotaApplicationApproval Queries the approval details for a quota increase application, including the average approval time, whether approval reminders are supported, and the reminder interval.
RemindQuotaApplicationApproval RemindQuotaApplicationApproval Sends a reminder for a quota application that is pending approval.

Quota Templates

API

Title

Description

GetQuotaTemplateServiceStatus GetQuotaTemplateServiceStatus Queries the status of a quota template.
ModifyQuotaTemplateServiceStatus ModifyQuotaTemplateServiceStatus Changes the status of a quota template. By default, the quota template is not configured. If the management account of a resource directory uses a quota template for the first time, you must enable the quota template. Only the management account of a resource directory can change the status of quota templates.
CreateTemplateQuotaItem CreateTemplateQuotaItem Creates a quota template by using the management account of a resource directory. After you create a quota template, if a member is added to the resource directory, the quota template automatically submits a quota increase request for the member. The quota values for existing members remain unchanged. You can use a quota template to apply for increases on multiple quotas at the same time. This automated approach improves the efficiency of quota management across your organization. Only the management account of a resource directory can create quota templates.
ModifyTemplateQuotaItem ModifyTemplateQuotaItem Only the administrator account of a resource directory can modify a quota template. Modifications to a quota template apply only to new members that are added to the resource directory and do not affect existing members.
ListQuotaApplicationTemplates ListQuotaApplicationTemplates Queries quota templates by using the management account of a resource directory.
DeleteTemplateQuotaItem DeleteTemplateQuotaItem Deletes a quota template by using the management account of a resource directory. After you delete a quota template, if a member is added to the resource directory, the quota template no longer automatically submits a quota increase request for the member. Only the management account of a resource directory can delete quota templates.
CreateQuotaApplicationsForTemplate CreateQuotaApplicationsForTemplate When you add a quota to a quota template, quota increase requests are automatically submitted only for new members in the resource directory. Existing members are not affected. To increase the quotas for existing members, you can use a quota template to submit batch requests. Only the administrator account of a resource directory can create batch quota requests.
ListQuotaApplicationsDetailForTemplate ListQuotaApplicationsDetailForTemplate Queries the details of quota increase applications for a member in a resource directory.
ListQuotaApplicationsForTemplate ListQuotaApplicationsForTemplate Queries the history of batch requests for member quotas submitted using a quota template.
