Getting Started
This section describes how to create a cluster instance by calling APIs.
Note
The validity period of a token obtained from IAM is 24 hours. If you want to use a token for authentication, cache it to avoid frequent IAM API calling.
Involved APIs
If you use a token for authentication, you must obtain the user's token and add X-Auth-Token to the request message header of the service API when making an API call.
- API for obtaining tokens from IAM
- Creating a DDS DB instance using an open API
Procedure
- Obtain the token by following instructions in section Authentication.
- Send POST https://DDS endpoint/v3/{project_id}/instances.
- Add X-Auth-Token to the request header.
- Specify the following parameters in the request body:Note
The values of region and availability_zone are used as examples.
For details about the API used for creating DB instances, see Creating a DB Instance.
