How to Reassign or Unassign Reserved IPs

Use the token to grant doctl access to your DigitalOcean account.

                    doctl auth init
                

Finally, run doctl compute reserved-ip-action assign. Basic usage looks like this, but you can read the usage docs for more details:

                doctl compute reserved-ip-action assign <reserved-ip> <droplet-id> [flags]
            

The following example assigns the reserved IP address 203.0.113.25 to a Droplet with the ID 386734086:

                    doctl compute reserved-ip-action assign 203.0.113.25 386734086
                

Send a POST request to https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/reserved_ips/{reserved_ip}/actions

cURL

Using cURL:

                            # Assign a Reserved IP to a Droplet
curl -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN" \
  -d '{"type":"assign","droplet_id":8219222}' \
  "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/reserved_ips/45.55.96.47/actions"

# Unassign a Reserved IP
# curl -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN" \
  -d '{"type":"unassign"}' \
  "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/reserved_ips/45.55.96.47/actions"
                        

Go

Using Godo, the official DigitalOcean V2 API client for Go:

                            import (
    "context"
    "os"

    "github.com/digitalocean/godo"
)

func main() {
    token := os.Getenv("DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN")

    client := godo.NewFromToken(token)
    ctx := context.TODO()

  // Assign a Reserved IP to a Droplet
    action, _, err := client.ReservedIPActions.Assign(ctx, "45.55.96.47", 8219222)

  // Unassign a Reserved IP
  action, _, err := client.ReservedIPActions.Unassign(ctx, "45.55.96.47")  
}
                        

Ruby

Using DropletKit, the official DigitalOcean V2 API client for Ruby:

                            require 'droplet_kit'
token = ENV['DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN']
client = DropletKit::Client.new(access_token: token)

# Assign a Reserved IP to a Droplet
client.reserved_ip_actions.assign(ip: '45.55.96.47', droplet_id: 8219222)

# Unassign a Reserved IP
# client.reserved_ip_actions.unassign(ip: '45.55.96.47')
                        

Python

                            import os
from pydo import Client

client = Client(token=os.environ.get("DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN"))

req={
  "type": "unassign"
}

resp = client.reserved_ips_actions.post(reserved_ip="49.32.13.21", body=req)
