# DescribeEipTraffic

## 1. API Description

This API (DescribeEipTraffic) is used to query the traffic monitoring data of the specified elastic IP within a given time range. Supports data aggregation by statistical granularity (step) and filtering by outbound public IP.

## 2. Input Parameters

The following request parameter list only provides API request parameters.
