compute

POST `/v1/compute/servers/{serverId}/ddos-protection`

Switch a server's DDoS protection add-on on or off.

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}/ddos-protection \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer zdk_live_…" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "enabled": <boolean> }'

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: on adds the price the GET shows to what the server is billed (its hourly rate on a pay-by-the-hour server, its subscription from the next renewal otherwise); off takes exactly that off. The response is re-read from the provider. 422 when the account is on hold; 503 refusal.compute.ddosNotInLocation where the location does not offer it. A refusal changes nothing and charges nothing. Requires billing.payment.manage.
