compute
GET /v1/compute/servers/{serverId}/backups/tier
The machine's backup tier, and what upgrading would cost.
Authentication
Send an API key as a bearer token. The key must carry the sites.view 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 GET https://api.zinndigital.com/v1/compute/servers/{serverId}/backups/tier \
-H "Authorization: Bearer zdk_live_…"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
A **pure read** — it charges nothing. `amount_minor` is our price for moving this machine to extended backups, derived from the provider's own live quote for **this** machine rather than from a published percentage: the two disagree, and the provider's figure is the one we are charged. ⛔ `upgrade_available: false` with a `reason` when the machine is already on the extended tier, is still building, or is on a range that has no tier concept — the VPS range buys backups as a separate contract instead, from `getComputeServerPlan`. Requires `sites.view`.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
serverId (path) | Uuid | Yes | The server's id, as `listComputeServers` reports it. **Ours** (UUIDv7), minted when the order row was written — never the provider's own identifier for the machine. |
Response
| Name | Type | Required | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
data | ComputeBackupTier | Yes | A machine's backup tier and the price of moving it. ⛔ `tier` is the provider's own word, verbatim (`normal` / `upgraded`), because rounding it to a boolean loses the difference… |
