The Cloud Databases API is implemented using a ReSTful web service interface. Like other products in the Rackspace Cloud suite, the Database Service shares a common token-based authentication system that allows seamless access between products and services.

[Note]Note

All requests to authenticate against and operate the service are performed using SSL over HTTP (HTTPS) on TCP port 443.
