compute
POST /v1/compute/servers/{serverId}/floating-ips
Reserve a floating IP and route it to a server.
Authentication
Send an API key as a bearer token. The key must carry the billing.payment.manage permission; a key without it is refused with 403, not 404.
This endpoint takes no organisation id. Your key already identifies the organisation it belongs to, and the response is scoped to it.
Try it
Replace anything in angle brackets with your own values, and the key placeholder with a key from your dashboard.
curl -X POST https://api.zinndigital.com/v1/compute/servers/{serverId}/floating-ips \
-H "Authorization: Bearer zdk_live_…" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "family": <string<ipv4, ipv6>> }'Signed in? The API console in your dashboard fills in your real organisation id and your own key, and runs the request against the live API so you can see the actual response. Open this endpoint in the API console
Details
⛔ Chargeable. The address's monthly price is folded into the machine's hourly rate from the next hour and stays there until it is released, so it is only offered on pay-by-the-hour machines. Quote it first with quoteComputeServerFloatingIp. The machine does not answer on the address until its operating system is told the address exists; a client shows the commands beside the address. Requires billing.payment.manage.
