- name: 1-Click Applications | |
description: |- | |
1-Click applications are pre-built Droplet images or Kubernetes apps with software, | |
features, and configuration details already set up for you. They can be found in the | |
[DigitalOcean Marketplace](https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/). | |
- name: Account | |
description: Provides information about your current account. | |
- name: Actions | |
description: |- | |
Actions are records of events that have occurred on the resources in your account. | |
These can be things like rebooting a Droplet, or transferring an image to a new region. | |
An action object is created every time one of these actions is initiated. The action | |
object contains information about the current status of the action, start and complete | |
timestamps, and the associated resource type and ID. | |
Every action that creates an action object is available through this endpoint. Completed | |
actions are not removed from this list and are always available for querying. | |
**Note:** You can pass the following HTTP header with the request to have the API return | |
the `reserved_ips` stanza instead of the `floating_ips` stanza: | |
- `Accept: application/vnd.digitalocean.reserveip+json` | |
- name: Apps | |
description: |- | |
App Platform is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering from DigitalOcean that allows | |
developers to publish code directly to DigitalOcean servers without worrying about the | |
underlying infrastructure. | |
Most API operations are centered around a few core object types. Following are the | |
definitions of these types. These definitions will be omitted from the operation-specific | |
documentation. | |
For documentation on app specifications (`AppSpec` objects), please refer to the | |
[product documentation](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/reference/app-spec/)). | |
- name: Billing | |
description: |- | |
The billing endpoints allow you to retrieve your account balance, invoices | |
and billing history. | |
**Balance:** By sending requests to the `/v2/customers/my/balance` endpoint, you can | |
retrieve the balance information for the requested customer account. | |
**Invoices:** [Invoices](https://docs.digitalocean.com/platform/billing/invoices/) | |
are generated on the first of each month for every DigitalOcean | |
customer. An invoice preview is generated daily, which can be accessed | |
with the `preview` keyword in place of `$INVOICE_UUID`. To interact with | |
invoices, you will generally send requests to the invoices endpoint at | |
`/v2/customers/my/invoices`. | |
**Billing History:** Billing history is a record of billing events for your account. | |
For example, entries may include events like payments made, invoices | |
issued, or credits granted. To interact with invoices, you | |
will generally send requests to the invoices endpoint at | |
`/v2/customers/my/billing_history`. | |
- name: Block Storage | |
description: |- | |
[DigitalOcean Block Storage Volumes](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/volumes/) | |
provide expanded storage capacity for your Droplets and can be moved | |
between Droplets within a specific region. | |
Volumes function as raw block devices, meaning they appear to the | |
operating system as locally attached storage which can be formatted using | |
any file system supported by the OS. They may be created in sizes from | |
1GiB to 16TiB. | |
By sending requests to the `/v2/volumes` endpoint, you can list, create, or | |
delete volumes as well as attach and detach them from Droplets | |
- name: Block Storage Actions | |
description: |- | |
Block storage actions are commands that can be given to a DigitalOcean | |
Block Storage Volume. An example would be detaching or attaching a volume | |
from a Droplet. These requests are made on the | |
`/v2/volumes/$VOLUME_ID/actions` endpoint. | |
An action object is returned. These objects hold the current status of the | |
requested action. | |
- name: CDN Endpoints | |
description: |- | |
Content hosted in DigitalOcean's object storage solution, | |
[Spaces](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/spaces/), | |
can optionally be served by our globally distributed Content Delivery | |
Network (CDN). By sending requests to `/v2/cdn/endpoints`, you can list, | |
create, or delete CDN Endpoints as well as purge cached content. To use a | |
custom subdomain to access the CDN Endpoint, provide the ID of a | |
DigitalOcean managed TLS certificate and the fully qualified domain name | |
for the custom subdomain. | |
CDN endpoints have a rate limit of five requests per 10 seconds. | |
- name: Certificates | |
description: |- | |
In order to perform SSL termination on load balancers, DigitalOcean offers | |
two types of [SSL certificate management](https://docs.digitalocean.com/platform/teams/manage-certificates): | |
* **Custom**: User-generated certificates may be uploaded to DigitalOcean | |
where they will be placed in a fully encrypted and isolated storage system. | |
* **Let's Encrypt**: Certificates may be automatically generated by | |
DigitalOcean utilizing an integration with Let's Encrypt, the free and | |
open certificate authority. These certificates will also be automatically | |
renewed as required. | |
- name: Container Registry | |
description: |- | |
DigitalOcean offers the ability for you to create a | |
[private container registry](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/container-registry/) | |
to store your Docker images for use with your Kubernetes clusters. This | |
container registry runs inside the same datacenters as your cluster, | |
ensuring reliable and performant rollout of image deployments. | |
You can only create one registry per DigitalOcean account, but you can use | |
that registry to create as many repositories as you wish. | |
- name: Container Registries | |
description: |- | |
DigitalOcean now supports up to nine additional registries (for a total maximum of 10) per team | |
if your container registry uses the Professional subscription plan. The storage is shared among | |
the registries. This set of new APIs is backward compatible with `/v2/registry`. However, if you | |
create more than one registry under a Professional plan, some of the `/v2/registry` APIs would not work. | |
Hence, it is recommended to use `/v2/registries` for multiple registries. Currently, these APIs are in Public Preview. | |
- name: Databases | |
description: |- | |
DigitalOcean's [managed database service](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/databases) | |
simplifies the creation and management of highly available database clusters. Currently, it | |
offers support for [PostgreSQL](http://docs.digitalocean.com/products/databases/postgresql/), | |
[Redis](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/databases/redis/), | |
[Valkey](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/databases/valkey/), | |
[MySQL](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/databases/mysql/), | |
[MongoDB](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/databases/mongodb/), and | |
[OpenSearch](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/databases/opensearch/). | |
By sending requests to the `/v2/databases` endpoint, you can list, create, or delete | |
database clusters as well as scale the size of a cluster, add or remove read-only replicas, | |
and manage other configuration details. | |
Database clusters may be deployed in a multi-node, high-availability configuration. | |
If your machine type is above the basic nodes, your node plan is above the smallest option, | |
or you are running MongoDB, you may additionally include up to two standby nodes in your cluster. | |
The size of individual nodes in a database cluster is represented by a human-readable slug, | |
which is used in some of the following requests. Each slug denotes the node's identifier, | |
CPU count, and amount of RAM, in that order. | |
For a list of currently available database slugs and options, use the `/v2/databases/options` endpoint or use the | |
`doctl databases options` [command](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/doctl/reference/databases/options). | |
- name: Domain Records | |
description: |- | |
Domain record resources are used to set or retrieve information about the | |
individual DNS records configured for a domain. This allows you to build | |
and manage DNS zone files by adding and modifying individual records for a | |
domain. | |
The [DigitalOcean DNS management interface](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/dns/) | |
allows you to configure the following DNS records: | |
Name | Description | | |
------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | |
A | This record type is used to map an IPv4 address to a hostname. | | |
AAAA | This record type is used to map an IPv6 address to a hostname. | | |
CAA | As specified in RFC-6844, this record type can be used to restrict which certificate authorities are permitted to issue certificates for a domain. | | |
CNAME | This record type defines an alias for your canonical hostname (the one defined by an A or AAAA record). | | |
MX | This record type is used to define the mail exchanges used for the domain. | | |
NS | This record type defines the name servers that are used for this zone. | | |
TXT | This record type is used to associate a string of text with a hostname, primarily used for verification. | | |
SRV | This record type specifies the location (hostname and port number) of servers for specific services. | | |
SOA | This record type defines administrative information about the zone. Can only have ttl changed, cannot be deleted | | |
- name: Domains | |
description: |- | |
Domain resources are domain names that you have purchased from a domain | |
name registrar that you are managing through the | |
[DigitalOcean DNS interface](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/dns/). | |
This resource establishes top-level control over each domain. Actions that | |
affect individual domain records should be taken on the | |
[Domain Records](#tag/Domain-Records) resource. | |
- name: Droplet Actions | |
description: |- | |
Droplet actions are tasks that can be executed on a Droplet. These can be | |
things like rebooting, resizing, snapshotting, etc. | |
Droplet action requests are generally targeted at one of the "actions" | |
endpoints for a specific Droplet. The specific actions are usually | |
initiated by sending a POST request with the action and arguments as | |
parameters. | |
Droplet action requests create a Droplet actions object, which can be used | |
to get information about the status of an action. Creating a Droplet | |
action is asynchronous: the HTTP call will return the action object before | |
the action has finished processing on the Droplet. The current status of | |
an action can be retrieved from either the Droplet actions endpoint or the | |
global actions endpoint. If a Droplet action is uncompleted it may block | |
the creation of a subsequent action for that Droplet, the locked attribute | |
of the Droplet will be true and attempts to create a Droplet action will | |
fail with a status of 422. | |
- name: Droplets | |
description: |- | |
A [Droplet](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/droplets/) is a DigitalOcean | |
virtual machine. By sending requests to the Droplet endpoint, you can | |
list, create, or delete Droplets. | |
Some of the attributes will have an object value. The `region` and `image` | |
objects will all contain the standard attributes of their associated | |
types. Find more information about each of these objects in their | |
respective sections. | |
- name: Droplet Autoscale Pools | |
description: |- | |
Droplet autoscale pools manage automatic horizontal scaling for your applications based on resource usage (CPU, memory, or both) or a static configuration. | |
- name: Firewalls | |
description: |- | |
[DigitalOcean Cloud Firewalls](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/firewalls/) | |
provide the ability to restrict network access to and from a Droplet | |
allowing you to define which ports will accept inbound or outbound | |
connections. By sending requests to the `/v2/firewalls` endpoint, you can | |
list, create, or delete firewalls as well as modify access rules. | |
- name: Floating IP Actions | |
description: |- | |
As of 16 June 2022, we have renamed the Floating IP product to [Reserved IPs](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/api-reference/#tag/Reserved-IPs). | |
The Reserved IP product's endpoints function the exact same way as Floating IPs. | |
The only difference is the name change throughout the URLs and fields. | |
For example, the `floating_ips` field is now the `reserved_ips` field. | |
The Floating IP endpoints will remain active until fall 2023 before being | |
permanently deprecated. | |
With the exception of the [Projects API](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/api-reference/#tag/Projects), | |
we will reflect this change as an additional field in the responses across the API | |
where the `floating_ip` field is used. For example, the Droplet metadata response | |
will contain the field `reserved_ips` in addition to the `floating_ips` field. | |
Floating IPs retrieved using the Projects API will retain the original name. | |
Floating IP actions are commands that can be given to a DigitalOcean | |
floating IP. These requests are made on the actions endpoint of a specific | |
floating IP. | |
An action object is returned. These objects hold the current status of the | |
requested action. | |
- name: Floating IPs | |

Floating IPs retrieved using the Projects API will retain the original name. | |
[DigitalOcean Floating IPs](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/reserved-ips/) | |
are publicly-accessible static IP addresses that can be mapped to one of | |
your Droplets. They can be used to create highly available setups or other | |
configurations requiring movable addresses. | |
Floating IPs are bound to a specific region. | |
- name: Functions | |
description: |- | |
[Serverless functions](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/functions) are blocks of code that run on demand without the need to manage any infrastructure. | |
You can develop functions on your local machine and then deploy them to a namespace using `doctl`, the [official DigitalOcean CLI tool](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/doctl). | |
The Serverless Functions API currently only supports creating and managing namespaces. | |
- name: GradientAI Platform | |
description: |- | |
The API lets you build GPU-powered AI agents with pre-built or custom foundation models, function and agent routes, and RAG pipelines with knowledge bases. | |
- name: Image Actions | |
description: |- | |
Image actions are commands that can be given to a DigitalOcean image. In | |
general, these requests are made on the actions endpoint of a specific | |
image. | |
An image action object is returned. These objects hold the current status | |
of the requested action. | |
- name: Images | |
description: |- | |
A DigitalOcean [image](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/images/) can be | |
used to create a Droplet and may come in a number of flavors. Currently, | |
there are five types of images: snapshots, backups, applications, | |
distributions, and custom images. | |
* [Snapshots](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/snapshots/) provide | |
a full copy of an existing Droplet instance taken on demand. | |
* [Backups](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/backups/) are similar | |
to snapshots but are created automatically at regular intervals when | |
enabled for a Droplet. | |
* [Custom images](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/custom-images/) | |
are Linux-based virtual machine images (raw, qcow2, vhdx, vdi, and vmdk | |
formats are supported) that you may upload for use on DigitalOcean. | |
* Distributions are the public Linux distributions that are available to | |
be used as a base to create Droplets. | |
* Applications, or [1-Click Apps](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/marketplace/), | |
are distributions pre-configured with additional software. | |
To interact with images, you will generally send requests to the images | |
endpoint at /v2/images. | |
- name: Kubernetes | |
description: |- | |
[DigitalOcean Kubernetes](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/kubernetes/) | |
allows you to quickly deploy scalable and secure Kubernetes clusters. By | |
sending requests to the `/v2/kubernetes/clusters` endpoint, you can list, | |
create, or delete clusters as well as scale node pools up and down, | |
recycle individual nodes, and retrieve the kubeconfig file for use with | |
a cluster. | |
- name: Load Balancers | |
description: |- | |
[DigitalOcean Load Balancers](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/load-balancers/) | |
provide a way to distribute traffic across multiple Droplets. By sending | |
requests to the `/v2/load_balancers` endpoint, you can list, create, or | |
delete load balancers as well as add or remove Droplets, forwarding rules, | |
and other configuration details. | |
- name: Monitoring | |
description: |- | |
The DigitalOcean Monitoring API makes it possible to programmatically retrieve metrics as well as configure alert | |
policies based on these metrics. The Monitoring API can help you gain insight into how your apps are performing | |
and consuming resources. | |
- name: Partner Network Connect | |
description: |- | |
Partner Network Connect lets you establish high-bandwidth, low-latency | |
network connections directly between DigitalOcean VPC networks and other | |
public cloud providers or on-premises datacenters. | |
- name: Project Resources | |
description: |- | |
Project Resources are resources that can be grouped into your projects. | |
You can group resources (like Droplets, Spaces, load balancers, domains, | |
and floating IPs) in ways that align with the applications you host on | |
DigitalOcean. | |
### Supported Resource Types Examples | |
Projects resources are identified by uniform resource names or URNs. A | |
valid URN has the following format: `do:resource_type:resource_id`. The | |
following resource types are supported: | |
Resource Type | Example URN | |
-------------------|------------ | |
App Platform App | `do:app:be5aab85-851b-4cab-b2ed-98d5a63ba4e8` | |
Database | `do:dbaas:83c7a55f-0d84-4760-9245-aba076ec2fb2` | |
Domain | `do:domain:example.com` | |
Droplet | `do:droplet:4126873` | |
Floating IP | `do:floatingip:192.168.99.100` | |
Kubernetes Cluster | `do:kubernetes:bd5f5959-5e1e-4205-a714-a914373942af` | |
Load Balancer | `do:loadbalancer:39052d89-8dd4-4d49-8d5a-3c3b6b365b5b` | |
Space | `do:space:my-website-assets` | |
Volume | `do:volume:6fc4c277-ea5c-448a-93cd-dd496cfef71f` | |
### Resource Status Codes | |
When assigning and retrieving resources in projects, a `status` attribute | |
is returned that indicates if a resource was successfully retrieved or | |
assigned. The status codes can be one of the following: | |
Status Code | Explanation | |
-------------------|------------ | |
`ok` | There was no problem retrieving or assigning a resource. | |
`not_found` | The resource was not found. | |
`assigned` | The resource was successfully assigned. | |
`already_assigned` | The resource was already assigned. | |
`service_down` | There was a problem retrieving or assigning a resource. Please try again. | |
- name: Projects | |
description: |- | |
Projects allow you to organize your resources into groups that fit the way | |
you work. You can group resources (like Droplets, Spaces, load balancers, | |
domains, and floating IPs) in ways that align with the applications | |
you host on DigitalOcean. | |

DigitalOcean Reserved IPs are publicly-accessible static IP addresses that can be | |
mapped to one of your Droplets. They can be used to create highly available | |
setups or other configurations requiring movable addresses. | |
Reserved IPs are bound to a specific region. | |
- name: "[Public Preview] Reserved IPv6" | |
description: |- | |
DigitalOcean Reserved IPv6s are publicly-accessible static IP addresses that can be | |
mapped to one of your Droplets. They can be used to create highly available | |
setups or other configurations requiring movable addresses. | |
Reserved IPv6s are bound to a specific region. | |
- name: "[Public Preview] Reserved IPv6 Actions" | |
description: |- | |
Reserved IPv6 actions requests are made on the actions endpoint of a specific | |
reserved IPv6. | |
An action object is returned. These objects hold the current status of the | |
requested action. | |
- name: "[Public Preview] BYOIP Prefixes" | |
description: |- | |
Bring your own IP (BYOIP) lets you provision your own IPv4 network prefixes | |
to your account, then assign those IPs to your DigitalOcean resources. | |
BYOIP supports the following features: | |
* IPv4 addresses | |
* Network sizes of anywhere from `/24` (256 addresses) to `/18` (16,384 addresses) | |
* Same API and management interface as our existing reserved IPs feature | |
* Assignable to Droplets only | |
BYOIP is currently in Public Preview. | |
- name: Sizes | |
description: |- | |
The sizes objects represent different packages of hardware resources that | |
can be used for Droplets. When a Droplet is created, a size must be | |
selected so that the correct resources can be allocated. | |
Each size represents a plan that bundles together specific sets of | |
resources. This includes the amount of RAM, the number of virtual CPUs, | |
disk space, and transfer. The size object also includes the pricing | |
details and the regions that the size is available in. | |
- name: Snapshots | |
description: |- | |
[Snapshots](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/snapshots/) are saved | |
instances of a Droplet or a block storage volume, which is reflected in | |
the `resource_type` attribute. In order to avoid problems with compressing | |
filesystems, each defines a `min_disk_size` attribute which is the minimum | |
size of the Droplet or volume disk when creating a new resource from the | |
saved snapshot. | |
To interact with snapshots, you will generally send requests to the | |
snapshots endpoint at `/v2/snapshots`. | |
- name: Spaces Keys | |
description: |- | |
Spaces keys authenticate requests to DigitalOcean Spaces Buckets. | |
You can create, list, update, or delete Spaces keys by sending requests to | |
to the `/v2/spaces/keys` endpoint. | |
- name: SSH Keys | |
description: Manage SSH keys available on your account. | |
- name: Tags | |
description: |- | |
A tag is a label that can be applied to a resource (currently Droplets, | |
Images, Volumes, Volume Snapshots, and Database clusters) in order to | |
better organize or facilitate the lookups and actions on it. | |
Tags have two attributes: a user defined `name` attribute and an embedded | |
`resources` attribute with information about resources that have been tagged. | |
- name: Uptime | |
description: >- | |
[DigitalOcean Uptime Checks](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/uptime/) provide the ability to monitor your endpoints from around the world, and alert you when they're slow, unavailable, or SSL certificates are expiring. | |
To interact with Uptime, you will generally send requests to the Uptime endpoint at `/v2/uptime/`. | |
- name: VPC Peerings | |
description: |- | |
[VPC Peerings](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/vpc/how-to/create-peering/) | |
join two VPC networks with a secure, private connection. This allows | |
resources in those networks to connect to each other's private IP addresses | |
as if they were in the same network. | |
- name: VPCs | |
description: |- | |
[VPCs (virtual private clouds)](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/vpc/) | |
allow you to create virtual networks containing resources that can | |
communicate with each other in full isolation using private IP addresses. | |
By sending requests to the `/v2/vpcs` endpoint, you can create, configure, | |
list, and delete custom VPCs as well as retrieve information about the | |
resources assigned to them. | |

## OAuth Authentication | |
In order to interact with the DigitalOcean API, you or your application must | |
authenticate. | |
The DigitalOcean API handles this through OAuth, an open standard for | |
authorization. OAuth allows you to delegate access to your account. | |
Scopes can be used to grant full access, read-only access, or access to | |
a specific set of endpoints. | |
You can generate an OAuth token by visiting the [Apps & API](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/account/api/tokens) | |
section of the DigitalOcean control panel for your account. | |
An OAuth token functions as a complete authentication request. In effect, it | |
acts as a substitute for a username and password pair. | |
Because of this, it is absolutely **essential** that you keep your OAuth | |
tokens secure. In fact, upon generation, the web interface will only display | |
each token a single time in order to prevent the token from being compromised. | |
DigitalOcean access tokens begin with an identifiable prefix in order to | |
distinguish them from other similar tokens. | |
- `dop_v1_` for personal access tokens generated in the control panel | |
- `doo_v1_` for tokens generated by applications using [the OAuth flow](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/oauth-api/) | |
- `dor_v1_` for OAuth refresh tokens | |
### Scopes | |
Scopes act like permissions assigned to an API token. These permissions | |
determine what actions the token can perform. You can create API | |
tokens that grant read-only access, full access, or limited access to | |
specific endpoints by using custom scopes. | |
Generally, scopes are designed to match HTTP verbs and common CRUD | |
operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete). | |
| HTTP Verb | CRUD Operation | Scope | | |
|---|---|---| | |
| GET | Read | `<resource>:read` | | |
| POST | Create | `<resource>:create` | | |
| PUT/PATCH | Update | `<resource>:update` | | |
| DELETE | Delete | `<resource>:delete` | | |
For example, creating a new Droplet by making a `POST` request to the | |
`/v2/droplets` endpoint requires the `droplet:create` scope while | |
listing Droplets by making a `GET` request to the `/v2/droplets` | |
endpoint requires the `droplet:read` scope. | |
Each endpoint below specifies which scope is required to access it when | |
using custom scopes. | |
### How to Authenticate with OAuth | |
In order to make an authenticated request, include a bearer-type | |
`Authorization` header containing your OAuth token. All requests must be | |
made over HTTPS. | |
### Authenticate with a Bearer Authorization Header | |
``` | |
curl -X $HTTP_METHOD -H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN" "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/$OBJECT" | |
``` | |
security: | |
- bearer_auth: [] |
