Parameter | Mandatory | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
__isregistered | No | String | Specifies whether the image is available. The value can be true. The value is true for all extension APIs by default. Common users can query only the images for which the value of this parameter is true. |
__imagetype | No | String | Specifies the image type. The following types are supported:
Note The __imagetype of images you share with other tenants or those other tenants share with you and you have accepted is shared. You can use field owner to distinguish the two types of shared images. You can use member_status to filter out shared images you have accepted. |
__whole_image | No | Boolean | Specifies whether the image is a full-ECS image. The value can be true or false. |
protected | No | Boolean | Specifies whether the image is protected. The value can be true or false. Set it to true when you query public images. This parameter is optional when you query private images. |
visibility | No | String | Specifies whether the image is available to other tenants. Available values include:
|
owner | No | String | Specifies the tenant to which the image belongs. |
id | No | String | Specifies the image ID. |
status | No | String | Specifies the image status. The value can be one of the following:
|
name | No | String | Specifies the image name. Exact matching is used. For detailed description, see Image Attributes. |

limit | No | Integer | Specifies the number of images to be queried. The value is an integer and is 500 by default. |
sort_key | No | String | Specifies the field for sorting the query results. The value can be an attribute of the image: name, container_format, disk_format, status, id, size, or created_at. The default value is created_at. |
sort_dir | No | String | Specifies whether the query results are sorted in ascending or descending order. Its value can be desc (default) or asc. This parameter is used together with parameter sort_key. The default value is desc. |
__os_type | No | String | Specifies the image OS type. Available values include:
|
tag | No | String | Specifies a tag added to an image. Tags can be used as a filter to query images. Note The tagging function has been upgraded. If the tags added before the function upgrade are in the format of "Key.Value", query tags using "Key=Value". For example, an existing tag is a.b. After the tag function upgrade, query the tag using "tag=a=b". |
member_status | No | String | Specifies the member status.
