pip install tencentcloud-sdk-python-vm

Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tencentcloud.vm' ↓

cause Old import path used after version 3.x update.

fix

Use versioned import: from tencentcloud.vm.v20201229 import vm_client

error tencentcloud.common.exception.TencentCloudSDKException: [TencentCloudSDKException] code: UnsupportedRegion error: no available region ↓

cause Region not set or invalid region.

fix

Pass a valid region (e.g., 'ap-guangzhou') to VmClient.

Warnings

breaking Version 3.x uses new import paths (e.g., tencentcloud.vm.v20201229) instead of old 'tencentcloud.vm'. ↓

fix Update imports to include the API version in the path.

gotcha Region must be set explicitly in client initialization; no default region. ↓

fix Always pass a region string (e.g., 'ap-guangzhou') to VmClient.

gotcha The SDK requires the 'tencentcloud-sdk-python-common' package; missing it causes ImportError. ↓

fix Install the common package: pip install tencentcloud-sdk-python-common

Imports

VmClient

wrong

from tencentcloud.cloud.vm import VmClient

correct

from tencentcloud.vm.v20201229 import vm_client

Older imports used incorrect module paths; must use exact versioned path.

CreateVideoModerationTask
```
from tencentcloud.vm.v20201229 import models
```
Models are imported separately; not all versions have the same models.

Quickstart

Initialize a VM client and create a video moderation task.

from tencentcloud.common import credential
from tencentcloud.vm.v20201229 import vm_client, models

def moderate_video():
    cred = credential.Credential(
        secret_id=os.environ.get('TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_ID', ''),
        secret_key=os.environ.get('TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_KEY', '')
    )
    client = vm_client.VmClient(cred, 'ap-guangzhou')
    req = models.CreateVideoModerationTaskRequest()
    req.Operator = 'user'
    req.BizType = ''
    req.Type = 'VIDEO'
    req.Tasks = [{'DataId': '123', 'Input': {'Url': 'https://example.com/video.mp4'}}]
    resp = client.CreateVideoModerationTask(req)
    return resp
