Chapter 5. Service Access/Endpoints

The endpoints to use for your Cloud Databases API calls are summarized in the table below.

Notes:

Choose the endpoint from the table for the datacenter where your Cloud resources are located. The Cloud Server that you use in Chapter 10, Create a New Cloud Server must be located in the same datacenter where your database resides. All examples in this guide assume that you are operating against the ORD datacenter, however if you are using a different datacenter, be sure to use the associated endpoint from the table above instead.

Replace the sample account ID number, 1234, with your actual account number returned as part of the authentication response. Use your actual account number wherever you see the field your_acct_id specified in this guide. Refer to Chapter 4, Generate an Authentication Token.

When making a Cloud Databases API call, place the endpoint at the beginning of the request URL, for example: (https://ord.databases.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0/your_acct_id/), as you can see in the cURL List Flavors Details Request examples in Chapter 6, List Flavors.
