Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

API key for authentication. Make sure to include the word apikey, followed by a single space and then your token. Example: apikey 1234$abcdef

Path Parameters

​
project_id
integer
required

Project ID

​
region_id
integer
required

Region ID

​
instance_id
string<uuid4>
required

Instance ID

Body

application/json
​
name
string

​
tags
object | null

Update key-value tags using JSON Merge Patch semantics (RFC 7386). Provide key-value pairs to add or update tags. Set tag values to null to remove tags. Unspecified tags remain unchanged. Read-only tags are always preserved and cannot be modified.

Examples:

* Add/update tags: {'tags': {'environment': 'production', 'team': 'backend'}} adds new tags or updates existing ones.

* Delete tags: {'tags': {'old_tag': null}} removes specific tags.

* Remove all tags: {'tags': null} removes all user-managed tags (read-only tags are preserved).

* Partial update: {'tags': {'environment': 'staging'}} only updates specified tags.

* Mixed operations: {'tags': {'environment': 'production', 'cost_center': 'engineering', 'deprecated_tag': null}} adds/updates 'environment' and 'cost_center' while removing 'deprecated_tag', preserving other existing tags.

* Replace all: first delete existing tags with null values, then add new ones in the same request.

Examples:
{
  "my-tag": "my-tag-value",
  "my-tag-to-remove": null
}

tags
TagSerializer · object[]
required

List of key-value tags associated with the resource. A tag is a key-value pair that can be associated with a resource, enabling efficient filtering and grouping for better organization and management. Some tags are read-only and cannot be modified by the user. Tags are also integrated with cost reports, allowing cost data to be filtered based on tag keys or values.

[
  {
    "key": "my-tag",
    "read_only": false,
    "value": "my-tag-value"
  }
]
