List Cloud Services

 

The List Cloud Services operation lists the cloud services that are available under the specified subscription.

Request

The List Cloud Services request may be specified as follows. Replace <subscription-id> with your subscription ID.

Method	Request URI
GET	https://management.core.windows.net/<subscription-id>/services/hostedservices

URI Parameters

None.

Request Headers

The following table describes the request headers.

Request Header	Description
x-ms-version	Required. Specifies the version of the operation to use for this request. This header should be set to 2009-10-01 or higher.
x-ms-continuation-token	Optional. Specifies a continuation token that enables you to get the remainder of the response when there are more cloud services to list than can be returned in the allotted time. The value of this token is returned in the header of a previous response and will only be returned if additional cloud services need to be listed.

Request Body

None.

Response

The response includes an HTTP status code, a set of response headers, and a response body.

Status Code

A successful operation returns status code 200 (OK).

Response Headers

The response for this operation includes the following headers. The response may also include additional standard HTTP headers.

Response Header	Description
x-ms-request-id	Specifies a value that uniquely identifies a request made against the management service.
x-ms-continuation-token	Specifies a continuation token that enables you to get the remainder of the response when there are more cloud services to list than can be returned in the allotted time. If a large number of cloud services exist in the subscription, not all of them can be listed in a single response. You can use the token in this header in subsequent operation requests until all cloud services are returned.

Response Body

The format of the response body is as follows:
