1. API Description

Domain name for API request: vpc.tencentcloudapi.com.

This API is used to apply for one or more Elastic IP Addresses (EIPs for short).

  • An EIP is a static IP address that is dedicated for dynamic cloud computing. You can quickly re-map an EIP to another instance under your account to protect against instance failures.
  • Your EIP is associated with your Tencent Cloud account rather than an instance. It remains associated with your Tencent Cloud account until you choose to explicitly release it or your account is in arrears for more than 24 hours.
  • The maximum number of EIPs that can be applied for a Tencent Cloud account in each region is restricted. For more information, see EIP Product Introduction. You can get the quota information through the DescribeAddressQuota API.

A maximum of 10 requests can be initiated per second for this API.

We recommend you to use API Explorer
Try it
API Explorer provides a range of capabilities, including online call, signature authentication, SDK code generation, and API quick search. It enables you to view the request, response, and auto-generated examples.

2. Input Parameters

The following request parameter list only provides API request parameters and some common parameters. For the complete common parameter list, see Common Request Parameters.

Parameter Name Required Type Description
Action Yes String Common Params. The value used for this API: AllocateAddresses.
Version Yes String Common Params. The value used for this API: 2017-03-12.
Region No String Common Params. This parameter is not required for this API.
AddressCount No Integer The number of EIPs. Default: 1.
InternetServiceProvider No String The EIP line type. Default: BGP.
  • For a user who has activated the static single-line IP allowlist, possible values are:
    • CMCC: China Mobile
    • CTCC: China Telecom
    • CUCC: China Unicom
    Note: Only certain regions support static single-line IP addresses.
InternetChargeType No String The EIP billing method.
  • For bill-by-IP account beta users, valid values:
    • BANDWIDTH_PACKAGE: paid by the bandwidth package(who must also be bandwidth package beta users)
    • BANDWIDTH_POSTPAID_BY_HOUR: billed by hourly bandwidth on a pay-as-you-go basis
    • BANDWIDTH_PREPAID_BY_MONTH: monthly bandwidth subscription
    • TRAFFIC_POSTPAID_BY_HOUR: billed by hourly traffic on a pay-as-you-go basis
    Default value: TRAFFIC_POSTPAID_BY_HOUR
  • If you are not a bill-by-IP account beta user, the EIP billing is the same as that for the instance bound to the EIP. Therefore, you do not need to pass in this parameter.
InternetMaxBandwidthOut No Integer The EIP outbound bandwidth cap, in Mbps.
  • For bill-by-IP account beta users, the bandwidth cap range is determined by the EIP billing mode.
    • BANDWIDTH_PACKAGE: 1 Mbps to 2000 Mbps
    • BANDWIDTH_POSTPAID_BY_HOUR: 1 Mbps to 100 Mbps
    • BANDWIDTH_PREPAID_BY_MONTH: 1 Mbps to 200 Mbps
    • TRAFFIC_POSTPAID_BY_HOUR: 1 Mbps to 100 Mbps
    Default value: 1 Mbps
  • If you are not a bill-by-IP account beta user, the EIP outbound bandwidth cap is subject to the bandwidth cap of the instance bound to the EIP. Therefore, you do not need to pass in this parameter.
AddressChargePrepaid No AddressChargePrepaid A required billing parameter for an EIP billed by monthly bandwidth subscription. For EIPs using other billing modes, it can be ignored.
AddressType No String EIP type. Default value: EIP.
  • For beta users of AIA, the value can be:
AnycastEIP: an AIA IP address. For more information, see Anycast Internet Acceleration.Note: Anycast EIPs are supported only in partial regions.
  • For beta users of dedicated IP, the value can be:
    • HighQualityEIP: Dedicated IP
    Note that dedicated IPs are only available in partial regions.


  • For beta users of Anti-DDoS IP, the value can be:
    • AntiDDoSEIP: Anti-DDoS EIP
    Note that Anti-DDoS IPs are only available in partial regions.
AnycastZone No String Anycast publishing region
  • Valid for users who have activated AIA. Values:
    • ANYCAST_ZONE_GLOBAL: global publishing region
    • ANYCAST_ZONE_OVERSEAS: overseas publishing region
    • [Disused] ANYCAST_ZONE_A: publishing region A (updated to ANYCAST_ZONE_GLOBAL)
    • [Disused] ANYCAST_ZONE_B: publishing region B (updated to ANYCAST_ZONE_GLOBAL)
    Default: ANYCAST_ZONE_OVERSEAS.
ApplicableForCLB No Boolean [Disused]
Whether the Anycast EIP can be bound to CLB instances.
  • Valid for users who have activated the AIA. Values:
    • TRUE: the Anycast EIP can be bound to CLB instances.
    • FALSE: the Anycast EIP can be bound to CVMs, NAT gateways, and HAVIPs.
    Default: FALSE.
Tags.N No Array of Tag List of tags to be bound.
BandwidthPackageId No String The unique ID of a BGP bandwidth package. If you configure this parameter and set InternetChargeType as BANDWIDTH_PACKAGE, the new EIP is added to this package and billed by the bandwidth package mode.
AddressName No String EIP name, which is the custom EIP name given by the user when applying for the EIP. Default: not named
Egress No String Network egress. It defaults to center_egress1.
AntiDDoSPackageId No String Anti-DDoS service package ID. This is required when you want to request an u200dAnti-DDoS IP.
ClientToken No String A string used to ensure the idempotency of the request. Generate a value based on your client. This can ensure that the value is unique for different requests. It only supports ASCII characters and can contain up to 64 characters.

3. Output Parameters

Parameter Name Type Description
AddressSet Array of String List of the unique IDs of the requested EIPs.
TaskId String The Async task ID. You can use the DescribeTaskResult API to query the task status.
RequestId String The unique request ID, which is returned for each request. RequestId is required for locating a problem.
