Edge Security Acceleration (ESA) - Pages, Edge Routine, KV, Site Management, Analytics & More

Use Alibaba Cloud OpenAPI (RPC) with official Python SDK to manage all ESA capabilities.

Alibaba Cloud ESA provides five core capabilities:

• Pages — Deploy HTML or static directories to edge nodes (quick deployment flow based on Edge Routine)
• Edge Routine (ER) — Full lifecycle management of serverless edge functions
• Edge KV — Distributed edge key-value storage with Namespace/Key/Value management
• Site Management — Site management, DNS records, cache rules, certificates, etc.
• Analytics — Traffic analysis, time-series trends, Top-N rankings, bandwidth statistics, request metrics

Use Python SDK uniformly to call ESA OpenAPI.

Prerequisites

• Prepare AccessKey (RAM user/role with least privilege).
• Install Python SDK: pip install alibabacloud_esa20240910 alibabacloud_tea_openapi alibabacloud_credentials
• ESA OpenAPI is RPC style; prefer SDK or OpenAPI Explorer to avoid manual signing.

SDK quickstart

from alibabacloud_esa20240910.client import Client as Esa20240910Client
from alibabacloud_esa20240910 import models as esa_models
from alibabacloud_tea_openapi import models as open_api_models


def create_client(region_id: str = "cn-hangzhou") -> Esa20240910Client:
    config = open_api_models.Config(
        region_id=region_id,
        endpoint="esa.cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com",
    )
    return Esa20240910Client(config)

Pages — Edge Page Deployment

Pages is a quick deployment flow based on Edge Routine, deploying HTML or static directories to the edge.

HTML Page Deployment Flow

CreateRoutine → GetRoutineStagingCodeUploadInfo → Upload code to OSS
→ CommitRoutineStagingCode → PublishRoutineCodeVersion(staging)
→ PublishRoutineCodeVersion(production) → GetRoutine(get access URL)

Static Directory Deployment Flow

CreateRoutine → CreateRoutineWithAssetsCodeVersion → Package zip and upload to OSS
→ Poll GetRoutineCodeVersionInfo(wait for available)
→ CreateRoutineCodeDeployment(staging) → CreateRoutineCodeDeployment(production)
→ GetRoutine(get access URL)

Zip Package Structure

The zip package structure depends on EDGE_ROUTINE_TYPE (automatically determined by checkEdgeRoutineType based on whether entry file and assets directory exist):

• JS_ONLY: routine/index.js (bundled with esbuild or --no-bundle to read source files directly)
• ASSETS_ONLY: All static files under assets/, maintaining original directory structure
• JS_AND_ASSETS: routine/index.js + assets/ static resources (most common)

The assets/ path is relative to assets.directory in configuration. Configuration priority: CLI args > esa.jsonc / esa.toml.

Key Notes

• Function name rules: lowercase letters/numbers/hyphens, start with lowercase letter, length >= 2
• Same name function: Reuse if exists, deploy new version code
• Deploy to both staging and production by default
• After successful deployment, get defaultRelatedRecord via GetRoutine as access domain

Bind Custom Domain (CNAME-Access Sites)

For CNAME-access sites, binding a custom domain to a Pages/ER routine requires:

1. CreateRecord(A/AAAA, proxied=true)     → Register domain in ESA CDN
2. CreateRoutineRoute(rule expression)     → Route traffic to Edge Routine
3. External DNS: CNAME → record_cname      → Point domain to ESA CDN
4. ApplyCertificate(lets_encrypt)          → Provision SSL certificate

Critical: Do NOT use CreateRoutineRelatedRecord for CNAME-access sites — it doesn't create a visible DNS record, causing CDN to fall back to origin. Use A/AAAA record + Route instead.

SDK note: CreateRoutineRoute parameter is rule (ESA rule expression like (http.host eq "domain")), NOT route.

Detailed reference: references/pages.md (section: Bind Custom Domain)

Edge Routine (ER) — Edge Functions

Manage the complete lifecycle of serverless edge functions via Python SDK.

Core Workflow

CreateRoutine → GetRoutineStagingCodeUploadInfo → Upload code to OSS
→ CommitRoutineStagingCode → PublishRoutineCodeVersion
→ (CreateRoutineRoute) → GetRoutine

API Summary

• Function Management: CreateRoutine, DeleteRoutine, GetRoutine, GetRoutineUserInfo, ListUserRoutines
• Code Version: GetRoutineStagingCodeUploadInfo, CommitRoutineStagingCode, PublishRoutineCodeVersion, DeleteRoutineCodeVersion
• Routes: CreateRoutineRoute, UpdateRoutineRoute, DeleteRoutineRoute, GetRoutineRoute, ListRoutineRoutes, ListSiteRoutes
• Related Records: CreateRoutineRelatedRecord, DeleteRoutineRelatedRecord, ListRoutineRelatedRecords

ER Code Format

export default {
  async fetch(request) {
    return new Response("Hello", {
      headers: { "content-type": "text/html;charset=UTF-8" },
    });
  },
};

Detailed reference: references/er.md

Edge KV — Edge Key-Value Storage

Distributed edge key-value storage, readable and writable in Edge Routine, also manageable via OpenAPI/SDK.

Core Concepts

• Namespace: Isolation container for KV data, Key max 512 chars, Value max 2MB (high capacity 25MB)
• Supports TTL expiration: Expiration (Unix timestamp) or ExpirationTtl (seconds)

API Summary

• Namespace: CreateKvNamespace, DeleteKvNamespace, GetKvNamespace, GetKvAccount, DescribeKvAccountStatus
• Single Key Operations: PutKv, GetKv, GetKvDetail, DeleteKv, PutKvWithHighCapacity
• Batch Operations: BatchPutKv, BatchDeleteKv, BatchPutKvWithHighCapacity, BatchDeleteKvWithHighCapacity, ListKvs

Quick Start

client = create_client()

# Create namespace
client.create_kv_namespace(esa_models.CreateKvNamespaceRequest(namespace="my-ns"))

# Write
client.put_kv(esa_models.PutKvRequest(namespace="my-ns", key="k1", value="v1"))

# Read
resp = client.get_kv(esa_models.GetKvRequest(namespace="my-ns", key="k1"))

Detailed reference: references/kv.md

Site Management — Site Management

Use Python SDK to manage ESA sites, DNS records, cache rules, etc.

API behavior notes

• Most list APIs support pagination via PageNumber + PageSize.
• ListSites returns sites across all regions; no need to iterate regions.
• Newly created sites start as pending; complete access verification via VerifySite to activate.
• Deleting a site removes all associated configuration.
• UpdateSiteAccessType can switch between CNAME and NS, but switching to CNAME may fail if incompatible DNS records exist.
• DNS record APIs (CreateRecord, ListRecords, etc.) work for both NS and CNAME connected sites. CNAME sites are limited to CNAME and A/AAAA types only, and records cannot disable acceleration (proxy must stay enabled).
• DNS record Type parameter must be exact: use A/AAAA (not A), CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SRV, CAA.
• CreateCacheRule supports two config types: global (site-wide default) and rule (conditional rule with match expression).

Workflow

1) Confirm target site ID, access type (CNAME/NS), and desired action. 2) Find API group and exact operation name in references/api_overview.md. 3) Call API with Python SDK (preferred) or OpenAPI Explorer. 4) Verify results with describe/list APIs. 5) If you need repeatable inventory or summaries, use scripts/ and write outputs under output/aliyun-esa-manage/.

SDK priority

1) Python SDK (preferred) 2) OpenAPI Explorer 3) Other SDKs (only if Python is not feasible)

Python SDK scripts (recommended for inventory)

• List all ESA sites: scripts/list_sites.py
• Summarize sites by plan: scripts/summary_sites_by_plan.py
• Check site status: scripts/check_site_status.py
• List DNS records for a site: scripts/list_dns_records.py

Analytics — Traffic Analysis

Query and analyze ESA site traffic data using DescribeSiteTimeSeriesData and DescribeSiteTopData APIs.

Core Features

• Time-Series Data: Query traffic trends with configurable time granularity
• Top-N Rankings: Get rankings by country/IP/host/path/status code dimensions
• Multiple Metrics: Traffic, Requests, RequestTraffic, PageView
• Rich Dimensions: Country, province, ISP, browser, device, host, path, status code, etc.

Two Main APIs

1. DescribeSiteTimeSeriesData - Time-Series Trends

Query traffic trends over time, returning aggregated data points.

Time Granularity Rules:

2. DescribeSiteTopData - Top-N Rankings

Query Top-N ranking data by various dimensions.

Limit Options: 5, 10, 150

Available Metrics (FieldName)

Available Dimensions

Geographic Dimensions: ClientCountryCode (country), ClientProvinceCode (province), ClientISP (ISP), ClientASN

Client Info: ClientIP, ClientIPVersion, ClientBrowser, ClientDevice, ClientOS

Request Details: ClientRequestHost, ClientRequestMethod, ClientRequestPath, ClientRequestProtocol, ClientRequestQuery, ClientRequestReferer, ClientRequestUserAgent

Response/Cache: EdgeCacheStatus, EdgeResponseStatusCode, EdgeResponseContentType, OriginResponseStatusCode

Others: ALL (aggregated), SiteId (account-level query), Version, ClientSSLProtocol, ClientXRequestedWith

Error Handling

Origin Rules — CDN 代理回源

Origin Rules 控制 ESA CDN 如何回源到源站。当需要将子域名通过 ESA CDN 代理到后端服务器时使用。

CDN 代理回源工作流

CreateRecord(A, proxied=true) → ApplyCertificate → CreateOriginRule → 验证

API Summary

• Origin Rule 管理: CreateOriginRule, ListOriginRules, GetOriginRule, UpdateOriginRule, DeleteOriginRule

Key Parameters

Critical Gotchas

1. `dns_record` 必须是 ESA DNS 记录名（如 agent.example.com），不能用原始 IP（如 1.2.3.4），否则报 destination_not_found。 2. `origin_scheme` 默认 HTTPS：源站只监听 HTTP 时必须显式设为 http，否则 502。 3. DNS 记录必须 proxied=true：否则流量不经 CDN，Origin Rule 不生效。 4. Edge Routine Route 优先级高于 Origin Rule：同域名有 ER route 时会拦截请求，需先删除 route。

Detailed reference: references/origin-rules.md

• Export records: ExportRecords

Cache Rules

• Create cache rule: CreateCacheRule
• List cache rules: ListCacheRules
• Get cache rule: GetCacheRule
• Update cache rule: UpdateCacheRule
• Delete cache rule: DeleteCacheRule

Cache rule expression notes (important):

• CreateCacheRule parameters are flat, not a nested JSON Rule object.
• The Rule parameter is a match condition expression string. See Rule Expression Syntax section below.
• Quick reminders: ends_with()/starts_with() must use function-call style; matches (regex) requires standard plan or above.
• Set edge cache TTL with --EdgeCacheMode override_origin --EdgeCacheTtl <seconds>.

Rule Expression Syntax

ESA uses a unified rule engine expression syntax across multiple features (cache rules, WAF custom rules, rate limiting, URL rewrite, header modification, etc.).

When to use

Use this syntax for the Rule parameter in any ESA API that accepts a match condition expression:

• CreateCacheRule / UpdateCacheRule - Cache rules
• CreateWafRule / UpdateWafRule - WAF custom rules
• CreateRatePlanRule - Rate limiting rules
• CreateRewriteUrlRule / UpdateRewriteUrlRule - URL rewrite rules
• Origin rules, redirect rules, header modification rules, etc.

Expression format

(condition)
(condition1 and condition2)
(condition1) or (condition2)

Max nesting depth: 2 levels.

Operator syntax - two styles

Infix style (operator between field and value):

(field eq "value")
(field ne "value")
(field contains "value")
(field in {"value1" "value2"})
(field matches "regex")

Function style (operator wraps field):

(starts_with(field, "value"))
(ends_with(field, "value"))
(exists(field))
(len(field) gt 100)
(lower(field) eq "value")

Common patterns

# Match file extension
--Rule '(http.request.uri.path.extension eq "html")'

# Match multiple extensions
--Rule '(http.request.uri.path.extension in {"js" "css" "png" "jpg"})'

# Match URL prefix
--Rule '(starts_with(http.request.uri, "/api/"))'

# Match URL suffix
--Rule '(ends_with(http.request.uri, ".html"))'

# Match URL containing substring (value MUST start with /)
--Rule '(http.request.uri contains "/test")'

# Match specific host
--Rule '(http.host eq "www.example.com")'

# Combined conditions
--Rule '(http.request.uri contains "/test" and ip.geoip.country eq "CN")'

# Match by country
--Rule '(ip.geoip.country eq "CN")'

# Exclude path
--Rule '(not starts_with(http.request.uri, "/admin/"))'

# Negating set membership
--Rule '(not http.host in {"a.com" "b.com"})'

Key Gotchas

1. ends_with and starts_with must use function-call syntax, NOT infix. 2. matches (regex) requires standard plan or above; basic plan returns RuleRegexQuotaCheckFailed. 3. contains with URI must include path separator: "/test" is correct; "test" alone causes CompileRuleError. 4. List values in in operator are space-separated inside braces: {"a.com" "b.com"}. 5. Outer parentheses are optional for single conditions. 6. Use ne for "not equal", never use not...eq. 7. Use not...in for negating set membership (not before field), not not in.

Plan Limitations

AccessKey priority (must follow, align with README)

1) Environment variables: ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID / ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET / ALIBABACLOUD_REGION_ID Region policy: ALIBABACLOUD_REGION_ID is an optional default. If unset, decide the most reasonable region for the task; if unclear, ask the user. 2) Shared config file: ~/.alibabacloud/credentials (region still from env)

Auth setup (README-aligned)

Environment variables:

export ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your-ak"
export ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET="your-sk"
export ALIBABACLOUD_REGION_ID="cn-hangzhou"

Also supported by the Alibaba Cloud SDKs:

export ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your-ak"
export ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET="your-sk"

Legacy compatibility:

export ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your-ak"
export ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET="your-sk"

Shared config file:

~/.alibabacloud/credentials

[default]
type = access_key
access_key_id = your-ak
access_key_secret = your-sk

ESA DNS Records

DNS records management for ESA sites.

Access Type & Record Restrictions

• NS access: Full DNS record management via API, supports all record types (A/AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SRV, CAA).
• CNAME access: DNS record APIs are available, but with restrictions:
• Only `CNAME` and `A/AAAA` record types are allowed. Other types (MX, TXT, NS, SRV, CAA) will fail.
• Records cannot disable acceleration (proxy must remain enabled, i.e. Proxied must be true).

Common operations

• Create: CreateRecord
• List: ListRecords (supports pagination and filters)
• Query: GetRecord
• Update: UpdateRecord
• Delete: DeleteRecord
• Batch create: BatchCreateRecords
• Export: ExportRecords

Supported record types

Note: Record type must be exact: use A/AAAA (not just A).

ListRecords filters

• Type: Record type (e.g., A/AAAA, CNAME)
• RecordName: Record name (fuzzy match)
• Proxied: Whether proxied through ESA (true/false)

CreateRecord parameters

Required:

• SiteId: Site ID
• RecordName: Must be the full domain name (e.g., www.example.com), not just the subdomain prefix (e.g., www). The suffix must match the site name, otherwise returns InvalidParameter.InvalidRecordNameSuffix.
• Type: Record type
• Data: Record value in JSON format (e.g., {"Value":"1.2.3.4"} for A/AAAA, {"Value":"target.com"} for CNAME)
• Ttl: Time to live (seconds). Set to 1 for system-determined TTL.

Conditionally required:

• BizName: Required when `Proxied` is `true` (i.e., acceleration enabled). Valid values: web, api, image_video. Omitting it when proxy is on causes InvalidParameter.InvalidBiz.
• SourceType: Required for CNAME records. Valid values: OSS, S3, LB, OP, Domain. Defaults to Domain if omitted.

Optional:

• Proxied: Enable ESA proxy/acceleration (default: false). CNAME-access sites must set this to true.
• Priority: Priority for MX/SRV records.
• HostPolicy: Origin host policy for CNAME records: follow_hostname or follow_origin_domain.
• Comment: Record comment (max 100 characters).

Key gotchas

1. RecordName must be full domain: qodertest.qoder.weiyigirl.top, not qodertest. 2. BizName is required when Proxied=true: Without it, API returns InvalidParameter.InvalidBiz with misleading message "business type is empty or incorrect". 3. CNAME-access sites must enable proxy: Setting Proxied=false on CNAME-access sites will fail.

Behavioral notes

• Record names must be unique within the same type
• Deleting a record that doesn't exist returns success (idempotent)
• BatchCreateRecords can create multiple records of different types at once
• ExportRecords returns all DNS records in BIND zone file format

ESA OpenAPI endpoints

ESA uses RPC-style OpenAPI. Prefer SDK or OpenAPI Explorer.

Public endpoint

• Default: esa.cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com
• Pattern: esa.<region-id>.aliyuncs.com

Common endpoints

Notes

• API version: 2024-09-10
• ESA is a global service; most operations work from any endpoint.
• Use cn-hangzhou as default if region is unspecified.

Edge Routine (ER) — Edge Function Reference

ESA Edge Routine is a serverless edge function service where code runs on global edge nodes. Supports full lifecycle management: creation, code submission, deployment, route configuration, and record management.

Manage Edge Routine via Python SDK calling ESA OpenAPI.

API List

Function Management

Code Version Management

Route Management

Related Record Management

Standard Workflow

Create and Deploy Edge Function (Complete Flow)

1. CreateRoutine                           → Create function
2. GetRoutineStagingCodeUploadInfo          → Get upload signature
3. Upload code to OSS (POST with signature) → Code upload
4. CommitRoutineStagingCode                 → Submit code version
5. PublishRoutineCodeVersion(env=staging)   → Deploy to staging
6. PublishRoutineCodeVersion(env=production)→ Deploy to production
7. (Optional) CreateRoutineRoute           → Bind custom domain route
8. (Optional) CreateRoutineRelatedRecord   → Create related record
9. GetRoutine                              → Get details, obtain default access URL

Code Format Requirements

Edge Routine code must export fetch handler:

async function handleRequest(request) {
  return new Response("Hello World", {
    headers: { "content-type": "text/html;charset=UTF-8" },
  });
}

export default {
  async fetch(request) {
    return handleRequest(request);
  },
};

Route Pattern Explanation

Route's Rule field uses ESA rule expression, for example:

• (http.host eq "test.example.com" and starts_with(http.request.uri.path, "/"))

Simplified path format (e.g. test.example.com/*) needs to be converted to rule expression:

• Domain prefix * = ends_with(http.host, ".example.com")
• Path suffix * = starts_with(http.request.uri.path, "/")

This document introduces the field names and their meanings returned when calling ESA data analysis APIs. These fields are data analysis results obtained through API calls, used to support deeper data analysis and business insights. Through these fields, you can get detailed traffic, requests, cache status, and other information to comprehensively understand business performance and system operation status.

Metrics

Data analysis provides you with rich data metric values, including response traffic, request count, request traffic, page views, etc. These metrics can comprehensively show your business performance and help you deeply understand business activity, traffic distribution, user behavior patterns, and system performance. Through these detailed data analyses, you can more accurately evaluate business operation status, timely discover potential issues, and formulate corresponding optimization strategies to improve user experience and business efficiency.

Dimensions

Data analysis provides multiple dimensions for data metrics, helping you analyze business performance from different angles. Helps you comprehensively understand traffic geographic distribution, user behavior patterns, request details, cache status, and system performance. Multi-dimensional data analysis not only helps optimize business processes and improve user experience, but also helps you quickly locate issues and formulate targeted solutions to better manage business operations.

Edge KV — Edge Key-Value Storage Reference

ESA Edge KV is a distributed edge key-value storage service, readable and writable in Edge Routine, also manageable via OpenAPI. Suitable for edge configuration distribution, feature flags, A/B testing, and other scenarios.

Core Concepts

• Namespace (Storage Space): Isolation container for KV data, each account can create multiple namespaces
• Key: Key name, max 512 characters, cannot contain spaces or backslashes
• Value: Value, standard API max 2MB, high capacity API max 25MB
• TTL: Optional expiration time, supports absolute timestamp (Expiration) or relative seconds (ExpirationTtl)

        namespace=namespace,
    )
    request.body = json.dumps(keys).encode("utf-8")
    return client.batch_delete_kv(request)

Using KV in Edge Routine

In Edge Routine code, you need to create an instance via new EdgeKV({namespace: "..."}) to access KV storage (no global instance, must be explicitly created each time):

export default {
  async fetch(request) {
    const kv = new EdgeKV({ namespace: "my-namespace" });

    // Write
    await kv.put("key1", "value1");

    // Read
    const value = await kv.get("key1");

    // Delete
    await kv.delete("key1");

    return new Response(value || "not found");
  },
};

Common Workflows

1. Initialize KV Storage

DescribeKvAccountStatus → (Enable if not enabled)
CreateKvNamespace → PutKv / BatchPutKv → ListKvs verify

2. Configuration Distribution (Edge Config Hot Update)

1. Write config via OpenAPI: PutKv(namespace="config", key="feature-flags", value=json)
2. Edge Routine reads config: new EdgeKV({namespace: "config"}).get("feature-flags")
3. Update config by calling PutKv again, edge nodes sync automatically

3. Data Cleanup

ListKvs(prefix="temp-") → Filter keys to delete → BatchDeleteKv

Common Error Codes

Origin Rules — 回源规则配置

Origin Rules 控制 ESA CDN 如何回源到源站，包括回源协议、端口、Host 头和 DNS 记录等。

核心概念

• Origin Rule 是一条条件匹配 + 回源行为的规则
• 当请求匹配规则条件时，ESA 按规则指定的方式回源，而非使用站点默认源站
• 常用于：为不同子域名指定不同源站、修改回源协议/端口、自定义 Host 头

API 列表

关键参数

CreateOriginRule

CDN 代理回源工作流

将子域名通过 ESA CDN 代理到后端服务器的完整流程：

1. CreateRecord         → 添加 A 记录 (proxied=true)
2. ApplyCertificate     → 申请免费 SSL 证书
3. CreateOriginRule     → 配置回源协议/端口/DNS记录
4. 验证访问             → curl -sI https://sub.example.com

步骤详解

1. 创建 DNS 记录

req = esa_models.CreateRecordRequest(
    site_id=SITE_ID,
    record_name='agent.example.com',
    type='A/AAAA',
    data=esa_models.CreateRecordRequestData(value='1.2.3.4'),
    proxied=True,   # 必须开启代理，流量经过 ESA 边缘节点
    ttl=1
)
resp = client.create_record(req)
record_id = resp.body.record_id

注意: data 参数必须使用 CreateRecordRequestData 对象，不能传 dict，否则报 'dict' has no attribute 'validate'。

2. 申请 SSL 证书

req = esa_models.ApplyCertificateRequest(
    site_id=SITE_ID,
    domains='agent.example.com',
)
resp = client.apply_certificate(req)
# 状态变化: Applying → TOKEN_DEPLOYED → OK

3. 创建 Origin Rule

req = esa_models.CreateOriginRuleRequest(
    site_id=SITE_ID,
    rule='(http.host eq "agent.example.com")',
    origin_scheme='http',       # 源站仅支持 HTTP 时必须设置
    origin_port=10112,          # 源站服务端口
    dns_record='agent.example.com',  # ⚠️ 必须是 ESA DNS 记录名
)
resp = client.create_origin_rule(req)
config_id = resp.body.config_id

4. 验证

# 检查 CDN 代理（Server 应为 ESA）
curl -sI https://agent.example.com | head -5

# 直接检查源站（绕过 CDN）
curl -sI http://1.2.3.4:10112 | head -5

重要坑点

1. dns_record 必须是 ESA DNS 记录名，不能是原始 IP

# ❌ 错误 — 使用原始 IP 会导致 502 destination_not_found
dns_record='47.117.136.136'

# ✅ 正确 — 使用 ESA DNS 记录名，ESA 内部解析为 A 记录 IP
dns_record='agent.example.com'

原因: ESA Origin Rule 的 dns_record 不是直接指定回源 IP，而是引用 ESA 站点内的 DNS 记录名。ESA 通过该记录名查找对应的 A/AAAA 记录值来确定回源地址。

2. origin_scheme 默认是 HTTPS

如果源站只监听 HTTP（无 SSL），必须显式设置 origin_scheme='http'，否则 ESA 会用 HTTPS 回源导致 502。

# ❌ 不设置 origin_scheme → ESA 默认 HTTPS 回源 → 源站无 SSL → 502
origin_scheme 未设置

# ✅ 显式指定 HTTP 回源
origin_scheme='http'

3. DNS 记录必须 proxied=True

Origin Rule 仅对经过 ESA 边缘节点的流量生效。如果 DNS 记录 proxied=False（DNS only），请求直接到源站 IP，不经过 CDN，Origin Rule 不会被触发。

4. Edge Routine Route 优先级高于 Origin Rule

如果某个域名同时绑定了 Edge Routine route 和 Origin Rule，Edge Routine 会拦截请求。要使用 Origin Rule 回源，必须先删除该域名的 Edge Routine route。

# 删除 Edge Routine route
req = esa_models.DeleteRoutineRouteRequest(
    site_id=SITE_ID,
    config_id=ROUTE_CONFIG_ID,
)
client.delete_routine_route(req)

5. 缓存可能导致旧内容残留

修改 Origin Rule 或切换域名路由后，ESA 边缘节点可能仍缓存旧内容。等待缓存自然过期或通过控制台手动刷新缓存。

与 Edge Routine 的对比

排查清单

当通过 Origin Rule 代理的域名返回异常时：

1. 502 Bad Gateway

• 检查 origin_scheme 是否与源站一致（HTTP vs HTTPS）
• 检查 origin_port 是否正确
• 检查源站服务是否运行中

2. 502 destination_not_found

• 检查 dns_record 是否使用 ESA DNS 记录名（不是 IP）
• 检查对应的 DNS 记录是否存在

3. 请求仍被 Edge Routine 处理

• 检查是否存在匹配该域名的 Edge Routine route
• 使用 ListRoutineRoutes 或 ListSiteRoutes 查看

4. 返回旧内容

• CDN 缓存未过期，等待或手动刷新

ESA Pages — Edge Page Deployment Reference

ESA Pages provides the ability to quickly deploy HTML pages or static file directories to edge nodes. Built on Edge Routine, deployments are completed via Python SDK calling ESA OpenAPI.

Deploy HTML Pages

Flow

1. CreateRoutine(name)                     → Create routine (skip if exists)
2. GetRoutineStagingCodeUploadInfo(name)   → Get OSS upload signature
3. POST code to OSS                        → Upload code file
4. CommitRoutineStagingCode(name)          → Commit code version
5. PublishRoutineCodeVersion(staging)      → Deploy to staging
6. PublishRoutineCodeVersion(production)   → Deploy to production
7. GetRoutine(name)                        → Get defaultRelatedRecord as access URL

Code Template

HTML content needs to be wrapped as Edge Routine code:

const html = `<html><body>Hello World</body></html>`;

async function handleRequest(request) {
  return new Response(html, {
    headers: { "content-type": "text/html;charset=UTF-8" },
  });
}

export default {
  async fetch(request) {
    return handleRequest(request);
  },
};

Deploy Static File Directory

Flow

1. CreateRoutine(name)                            → Create routine (skip if exists)
2. CreateRoutineWithAssetsCodeVersion(name)       → Create assets code version, get OSS signature
3. Package directory as zip → POST zip to OSS     → Upload assets
4. Poll GetRoutineCodeVersionInfo(name, version)  → Wait for available status
5. CreateRoutineCodeDeployment(staging, 100%)     → Deploy to staging
6. CreateRoutineCodeDeployment(production, 100%)  → Deploy to production
7. GetRoutine(name)                               → Get access URL

Zip Package Structure

The zip package structure created during deployment depends on the project's EDGE_ROUTINE_TYPE, with three cases:

1. JS_ONLY (entry file only)

your-project.zip
└── routine/
    └── index.js        ← Code bundled by esbuild (or source file directly when --no-bundle)

2. ASSETS_ONLY (static resources only)

your-project.zip
└── assets/
    ├── image.png
    ├── style.css
    └── subdir/
        └── data.json   ← All files under assets directory, maintaining original structure

3. JS_AND_ASSETS (entry file + static resources, most common)

your-project.zip
├── routine/
│   └── index.js        ← Dynamic code (bundled JS)
└── assets/
    ├── image.png
    └── ...             ← Static resources, maintaining original structure

Key Details

• index.js content source: By default, produced by prodBuild (esbuild) bundling the entry file; if --no-bundle is passed, reads source file directly
• Paths under assets/ are relative to assets.directory in configuration, recursively traversing all subdirectories and files
• Zip package is converted to Buffer via zip.toBuffer() and uploaded to OSS (first get OSS temporary credentials via API, then POST upload), with max 3 retries
• Project type determination logic is in checkEdgeRoutineType, based on whether entry file and assets directory actually exist
• Configuration source priority: CLI args > esa.jsonc / esa.toml config file

url = deploy_html("game-2048", "<html><body>...</body></html>")
print(f"Access URL: {url}")

2. Deploy Frontend Build Output

Suitable for React/Vue/Angular frontend projects' dist/build directories:

url = deploy_folder("my-app", "/path/to/dist")
print(f"Access URL: {url}")

Bind Custom Domain (CNAME-Access Sites)

After deploying to Pages, the routine gets a default domain like {name}.{hash}.er.aliyun-esa.net. To use a custom domain (e.g. agent.example.com) on a CNAME-access ESA site, follow this flow:

Flow

1. CreateRecord(A/AAAA, proxied=true)     → Register domain in ESA CDN, get record_cname
2. CreateRoutineRoute(rule expression)     → Route matching traffic to Edge Routine
3. External DNS: CNAME → record_cname      → Point domain to ESA CDN
4. ApplyCertificate(lets_encrypt)          → Provision SSL certificate
5. Wait for certificate status → OK        → HTTPS ready

Step-by-Step

1. Create ESA DNS Record

Create an A/AAAA record with proxy enabled so ESA CDN accepts traffic for this domain:

data_obj = esa_models.CreateRecordRequestData(value="<any-origin-ip>")
req = esa_models.CreateRecordRequest(
    site_id=SITE_ID,
    record_name="agent.example.com",  # Must be full domain name
    type="A/AAAA",
    data=data_obj,
    ttl=1,
    proxied=True,
    biz_name="web",
)
resp = client.create_record_with_options(req, runtime)
# resp.body.record_id → save for reference

After creation, list records to get the record_cname (e.g. agent.example.com.a1.initaf.com):

records = client.list_records(esa_models.ListRecordsRequest(site_id=SITE_ID))
for r in records.body.records:
    print(f"{r.record_name} → CNAME: {r.record_cname}")

2. Create Edge Routine Route

Create a route that intercepts traffic for this domain and forwards it to the Edge Routine:

req = esa_models.CreateRoutineRouteRequest(
    site_id=SITE_ID,
    rule='(http.host eq "agent.example.com")',  # ESA rule expression
    routine_name="my-routine",
    route_name="agent-route",
    route_enable="on",
    bypass="off",
)
resp = client.create_routine_route(req)
# resp.body.config_id → save for reference

Important: The parameter is rule (ESA rule expression), NOT route. Use (http.host eq "domain") syntax.

3. Update External DNS

At your DNS provider (e.g. Alibaba Cloud DNS / alidns), add a CNAME record:

agent  CNAME  agent.example.com.a1.initaf.com

The CNAME target follows the pattern: {record_name}.{cname_zone} — get the exact value from record_cname in step 1.

If a wildcard A record (* → some-ip) exists, add an explicit CNAME record for the subdomain to override it.

# Example using alidns SDK
from alibabacloud_alidns20150109.client import Client as DnsClient
from alibabacloud_alidns20150109 import models as dns_models

dns_client = DnsClient(config)
dns_client.add_domain_record(dns_models.AddDomainRecordRequest(
    domain_name="example.com",
    rr="agent",
    type="CNAME",
    value="agent.example.com.a1.initaf.com",
))

4. Apply SSL Certificate

ESA does not auto-provision SSL certificates for new records. You must request one:

resp = client.apply_certificate(esa_models.ApplyCertificateRequest(
    site_id=SITE_ID,
    domains="agent.example.com",
    type="lets_encrypt",
))

Certificate provisioning takes 1-5 minutes. Check status:

certs = client.list_certificates(esa_models.ListCertificatesRequest(site_id=SITE_ID))
for c in certs.body.result:
    print(f"{c.common_name} status={c.status}")
# status: Applying → OK

During provisioning, HTTPS returns TLS internal error. HTTP works immediately.

Key Gotchas

1. Do NOT use `CreateRoutineRelatedRecord` for CNAME-access sites — it creates an internal binding but does NOT create a visible DNS record in ESA, so CDN cannot match the domain and falls back to origin. 2. You need BOTH an ESA DNS record AND a Route — the DNS record makes CDN accept traffic; the Route redirects it to the Edge Routine instead of origin. 3. `CreateRoutineRoute` uses `rule` parameter (ESA rule expression like (http.host eq "domain")), not route. The SDK model parameter is rule, not route. 4. SSL certificate must be manually applied — unlike some CDN services, ESA does not auto-provision certs for new DNS records. 5. DNS record conflicts — if you create both a regular DNS record and a related record for the same domain, you get DependedByOthers error. Delete one before creating the other. 6. Route propagation delay — routes may take 3-5 minutes to propagate to all edge nodes. During this time, traffic still goes to origin. HTTP verification may show Server: ESA before HTTPS works.

    ))
    for r in (records.body.records or []):
        if r.record_name == domain:
            return r.record_cname  # → set this as CNAME in external DNS

Notes

1. Function name rules: Only lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens; must start with lowercase letter; length >= 2 2. Same name function: If function exists, reuses existing function and deploys new version code 3. Deployment environments: Deploys to both staging and production by default 4. Access URL: After successful deployment, get default access domain via defaultRelatedRecord from GetRoutine 5. Static directory deployment: Directory cannot be empty; files in zip are placed under assets/ prefix 6. HTML escaping: When wrapping as ER code, escape backticks and $ symbols 7. Assets deployment: CreateRoutineWithAssetsCodeVersion and CreateRoutineCodeDeployment need to be called via callApi method (not directly wrapped by SDK) 8. callApi runtime parameter: Must pass util_models.RuntimeOptions() object, NOT an empty dict {}. Using {} causes AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'key'

ESA Rule Expression - Generation Guide

This guide provides detailed rules for generating correct ESA rule expressions from natural language requirements.

Operator Usage Rules (CRITICAL)

Forbidden Operator Formats

These formats will cause errors - NEVER USE THEM:

Operator Selection by User Expression

Rule Type Recognition

Priority 1: Explicit Context

If user mentions rule type explicitly ("cache rule", "HTTPS rule", "version management"), use that type.

Priority 2: Keywords Inference

Priority 3: Default

If unable to determine, default to Node Rules (most versatile).

Rule Type Field Restrictions

URI Field Selection Rule

Choose the correct URI field based on match value format:

Examples:

# Full URL matching
http.request.full_uri eq "http://example.com/api/v1/users"

# Path only matching
http.request.uri eq "/api/v1/users"
http.request.uri contains "/test"

IMPORTANT: When using contains with http.request.uri, the value MUST start with `/`:

• CORRECT: http.request.uri contains "/test"
• WRONG: http.request.uri contains "test" (will cause CompileRuleError)

Value Types and Literals

Special Values

• Match all requests: Return true (boolean, not string)
• HTTP version values: HTTP/1.0, HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2.0, HTTP/3.0
• `ip.geoip.asnum`: Integer, no quotes

Logical Operators

• Priority: not > and > or
• Use parentheses to eliminate ambiguity
• Max nesting: 2 levels

Combination examples:

# AND combination
(http.host eq "example.com" and starts_with(http.request.uri, "/api"))

# OR combination
(http.host eq "a.com") or (http.host eq "b.com")

# Complex combination
(http.request.uri contains "/test" and ip.geoip.country eq "CN")

# Negation with set
(http.host contains "example.com") and (not http.host in {"sub1.example.com" "sub2.example.com"})

Error Examples and Corrections

Error 1: Using not...eq

# Input: Requests that are NOT m3u8 files
# WRONG: (not http.request.uri.path.extension eq "m3u8")
# CORRECT: http.request.uri.path.extension ne "m3u8"

Error 2: Using not in (wrong syntax)

# Input: Exclude jpg and png files
# WRONG: http.request.uri.path.extension not in {"jpg" "png"}
# CORRECT: not http.request.uri.path.extension in {"jpg" "png"}

Error 3: Using not contains (wrong syntax)

# Input: User-Agent not containing "bot"
# WRONG: http.user_agent not contains "bot"
# CORRECT: not http.user_agent contains "bot"

Generation Flow

1. Preprocess input: Extract match conditions, ignore configuration operations 2. Check "match all": If "all requests", return true 3. Identify rule type: Determine type by keywords and context 4. Filter allowed fields: Based on rule type 5. Select field and operator: Based on user expression and field support 6. Apply URI field rule: Choose http.request.uri or http.request.full_uri 7. Type matching: String with quotes, integer without quotes 8. Combine expression: Use parentheses, prefer function-style for prefix/suffix 9. Error check: Field range, operator restrictions, type constraints

Final Checklist

Before output, verify:

1. ✅ Correct operator format (no not...eq, not in, not contains) 2. ✅ Correct field names and syntax 3. ✅ Correct value types (strings quoted, integers unquoted) 4. ✅ Correct set syntax {value1 value2} 5. ✅ Correct parentheses grouping and logical operators 6. ✅ Correct URI field selection based on value format

ESA Rule Expression - Match Fields

Complete list of match fields available in ESA rule expressions.

Standard Fields (HTTP Request)

HTTP version values: HTTP/1.0, HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2.0, HTTP/3.0

Map Fields (support key access with ["key"])

IP / Geo Fields

Note: ip.geoip.asnum is an integer, do not use quotes.

Boolean Fields

Extended Fields (advanced, may require specific plan)

Field selection guidance

Notes

• Not all fields are available for all rule types. If a field causes CompileRuleError, try a related field (e.g. use http.request.uri instead of http.request.uri.path).
• Map fields accessed with ["key"] return the value for that key as a string.
• Extended fields (ali.*) may require specific plan levels or feature activation.

ESA Rule Expression - Operators

Complete list of operators available in ESA rule expressions.

Forbidden Operator Formats (CRITICAL)

These formats are ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN and will cause errors:

Correct negation patterns:

# Negating equality
WRONG:  not http.host eq "a.com"
RIGHT:  http.host ne "a.com"

# Negating set membership
WRONG:  http.host not in {"a.com" "b.com"}
RIGHT:  not http.host in {"a.com" "b.com"}

# Negating contains
WRONG:  http.request.uri not contains "/test"
RIGHT:  not http.request.uri contains "/test"

String Comparison (Infix Style)

Syntax: (field operator "value")

Important notes:

• in uses space-separated values in braces, NOT comma-separated: {"a" "b" "c"}
• matches requires standard plan or above; basic plan returns RuleRegexQuotaCheckFailed
• contains works with http.request.uri and http.host. When matching URI, include the path separator (e.g. "/test" not "test")

String Comparison (Function Style)

Syntax: (function(field, "value"))

Critical: starts_with and ends_with MUST use function-call syntax. Infix syntax like (field ends_with "value") will cause CompileRuleError.

Numeric Comparison (Infix Style)

Syntax: (field operator number)

Length Check (Function Style)

Syntax: (len(field) operator number)

Existence Check (Function Style)

Transformation (Function Style)

Use lower() for case-insensitive matching by wrapping the field.

Negation

Any expression can be negated with not:

Logical Operators

Nesting rules:

• Max nesting depth: 2 levels
• and conditions go inside the same parentheses: (A and B and C)
• or conditions separate parenthesized groups: (A) or (B) or (C)
• Mixed: (A and B) or (C and D)

Plan Limitations

Common CompileRuleError causes

1. Using ends_with/starts_with as infix operators instead of function syntax 2. Using wildcard (not a valid ESA operator) 3. Using contains with URI but missing path separator (use "/test" not "test") 4. Using unsupported match fields for the specific rule type 5. Missing parentheses around the expression 6. Using comma-separated values in in instead of space-separated

ESA Sites

Sites are the basic management unit of ESA. Each site corresponds to a domain (or subdomain).

Common operations

• Create: CreateSite
• List: ListSites (supports pagination and filters)
• Query: GetSite
• Delete: DeleteSite
• Check name: CheckSiteName
• Change access type: UpdateSiteAccessType
• Change coverage: UpdateSiteCoverage

Access types

• CNAME: Keep original DNS, add CNAME record pointing to ESA edge node.
• Pros: Simple setup, no DNS migration needed.
• Limitation: DNS record APIs are NOT available (CreateRecord, ListRecords, etc. will fail).
• NS: Delegate nameservers to ESA, ESA takes over DNS resolution.
• Pros: Full DNS management via API.
• Limitation: Must change NS records at domain registrar.

Switching access type

Use UpdateSiteAccessType to switch between CNAME and NS.

• NS -> CNAME: Will fail if incompatible DNS records exist. Delete A/AAAA records first.
• CNAME -> NS: Works directly. After switching, manage DNS via ESA API.

Coverage options

• domestic: China mainland only
• overseas: Outside China mainland
• global: Worldwide

Plan types

• basicplan / standardplan / advancedplan / enterpriseplan

ListSites filters

• SiteName: Fuzzy match
• Status: Site status (active, pending, etc.)
• AccessType: NS or CNAME
• Coverage: domestic, overseas, global
• PlanSubscribeType: Plan type

Behavioral notes

• Newly created sites start as pending; complete access verification to activate.
• Deleting a site removes all associated configuration (DNS records, cache rules, WAF rules, certificates, etc.).
• ListSites returns sites across all regions; no need to iterate regions.
