Alibaba Cloud SDK for C++ allows you to access Alibaba Cloud services such as Elastic Compute Service (ECS), Server Load Balancer (SLB), and CloudMonitor. You can access Alibaba Cloud services without the need to handle API related tasks, such as signing and constructing your requests.
This document introduces how to obtain and call this SDK.
If you have any problem while using Alibaba Cloud SDK for C++, please submit an issue.
Troubleshoot Provide OpenAPI diagnosis service to help developers locate quickly and provide solutions for developers through RequestID or error message.
-
To use this SDK, you must have an Alibaba Cloud account and an AccessKey.
The AccessKey is required when initializing the client. You can create an AccessKey in the Alibaba Cloud console. For more information, see Create an AccessKey.
Note: To increase the security of your account, we recommend that you use the AccessKey of the RAM user to access Alibaba Cloud services.
-
To use this SDK to access the APIs of a product, you must first activate the product on the Alibaba Cloud console if required.

Before using this SDK, you must first configure the preprocessor to define ALIBABACLOUD_SHARED to achieve dynamic linking with the SDK shared libraries. Then you must create a client instance, specify the region of cloud services and provide authentication parameters before sending API requests.
The following code shows how to call the DescribeInstances API of ECS to query detailed information of all ECS instances in a specific region.
#include <iostream>
#include <alibabacloud/core/AlibabaCloud.h>
#include <alibabacloud/ecs/EcsClient.h>
using namespace AlibabaCloud;
using namespace AlibabaCloud::Ecs;
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
// Initialize the SDK
AlibabaCloud::InitializeSdk();
// Configure the ECS instance
ClientConfiguration configuration("<your-region-id>");
EcsClient client("<your-access-key-id>", "<your-access-key-secret>", configuration);
// Create an API request and set parameters
Model::DescribeInstancesRequest request;
request.setPageSize(10);
auto outcome = client.describeInstances(request);
if (!outcome.isSuccess()) {
// Handle exceptions
std::cout << outcome.error().errorCode() << std::endl;
AlibabaCloud::ShutdownSdk();
return -1;
}
std::cout << "totalCount: " << outcome.result().getTotalCount() << std::endl;
// Close the SDK
AlibabaCloud::ShutdownSdk();
return 0;
}Copy the above to ecs_test.cc, then build with the following command.
~$ g++ -o ecstest ecs_test.cc --std=c++11 -lalibabacloud-sdk-core -l alibabacloud-sdk-ecs
~$ ./ecstest
# Result or error message will be shown here.
~$CPP SDK uses libcurl to do HTTP transfer.
-
The following timeout parameters are used to for libcurl.
-
connectTimeout: timeout for the connect phase. Refer. -
readTimeout: maximum time the request is allowed to take, Refer -
Default Value
-
connectTimeout: 5000ms -
readTimeout: 10000ms -
You may specify
timeoutparameters when create a client or make a request. -
Request timeout has higher priority than client timeout.
-
If you want to disable timeout feature, deliver
0or-1tosetConnectTimeoutandsetReadTimeout.
The following code shows hot to specify timeout parameters, and the final connectTimeout is 1000ms and readTimeout 6000ms.
#include <iostream>
#include <alibabacloud/core/AlibabaCloud.h>
#include <alibabacloud/ecs/EcsClient.h>
using namespace AlibabaCloud;
using namespace AlibabaCloud::Ecs;
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
// Initialize the SDK
AlibabaCloud::InitializeSdk();
// Configure the ECS instance
ClientConfiguration configuration("<your-region-id>");
// specify timeout when create client.
configuration.setConnectTimeout(1500);
configuration.setReadTimeout(4000);
EcsClient client("<your-access-key-id>", "<your-access-key-secret>", configuration);
// Create an API request and set parameters
Model::DescribeInstancesRequest request;
request.setPageSize(10);
// specify timeout when request
request.setConnectTimeout(1000);
request.setReadTimeout(6000);
auto outcome = client.describeInstances(request);
if (!outcome.isSuccess()) {
// Handle exceptions
std::cout << outcome.error().errorCode() << std::endl;
AlibabaCloud::ShutdownSdk();
return -1;
}
std::cout << "totalCount: " << outcome.result().getTotalCount() << std::endl;
// Close the SDK
AlibabaCloud::ShutdownSdk();
return 0;
}
