View full API reference

Bring your own IP (BYOIP) lets you provision your own IPv4 network prefixes to your account, then assign those IPs to your DigitalOcean resources. BYOIP supports the following features:

  • IPv4 addresses
  • Network sizes of anywhere from /24 (256 addresses) to /18 (16,384 addresses)
  • Same API and management interface as our existing reserved IPs feature
  • Assignable to Droplets only
Base URL https://api.digitalocean.com

OAuth Authentication

In order to interact with the DigitalOcean API, you or your application must authenticate.

The DigitalOcean API handles this through OAuth, an open standard for authorization. OAuth allows you to delegate access to your account. Scopes can be used to grant full access, read-only access, or access to a specific set of endpoints.

You can generate an OAuth token by visiting the Apps & API section of the DigitalOcean control panel for your account.

An OAuth token functions as a complete authentication request. In effect, it acts as a substitute for a username and password pair.

Because of this, it is absolutely essential that you keep your OAuth tokens secure. In fact, upon generation, the web interface will only display each token a single time in order to prevent the token from being compromised.

DigitalOcean access tokens begin with an identifiable prefix in order to distinguish them from other similar tokens.

  • dop_v1_ for personal access tokens generated in the control panel
  • doo_v1_ for tokens generated by applications using the OAuth flow
  • dor_v1_ for OAuth refresh tokens

Scopes

Scopes act like permissions assigned to an API token. These permissions determine what actions the token can perform. You can create API tokens that grant read-only access, full access, or limited access to specific endpoints by using custom scopes.

Generally, scopes are designed to match HTTP verbs and common CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete).

HTTP Verb CRUD Operation Scope
GET Read <resource>:read
POST Create <resource>:create
PUT/PATCH Update <resource>:update
DELETE Delete <resource>:delete

For example, creating a new Droplet by making a POST request to the /v2/droplets endpoint requires the droplet:create scope while listing Droplets by making a GET request to the /v2/droplets endpoint requires the droplet:read scope.

Each endpoint below specifies which scope is required to access it when using custom scopes.

How to Authenticate with OAuth

In order to make an authenticated request, include a bearer-type Authorization header containing your OAuth token. All requests must be made over HTTPS.

Authenticate with a Bearer Authorization Header

curl -X $HTTP_METHOD -H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN" "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/$OBJECT"

To list all BYOIP prefixes, send a GET request to /v2/byoip_prefixes. A successful response will return a list of all BYOIP prefixes associated with the account.

In order to interact with the DigitalOcean API, you or your application must authenticate.

The DigitalOcean API handles this through OAuth, an open standard for authorization. OAuth allows you to delegate access to your account. Scopes can be used to grant full access, read-only access, or access to a specific set of endpoints.

You can generate an OAuth token by visiting the Apps & API section of the DigitalOcean control panel for your account.

An OAuth token functions as a complete authentication request. In effect, it acts as a substitute for a username and password pair.

Scopes

Scopes act like permissions assigned to an API token. These permissions determine what actions the token can perform. You can create API tokens that grant read-only access, full access, or limited access to specific endpoints by using custom scopes.

Generally, scopes are designed to match HTTP verbs and common CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete).

HTTP Verb CRUD Operation Scope
GET Read <resource>:read
POST Create <resource>:create
PUT/PATCH Update <resource>:update
DELETE Delete <resource>:delete

For example, creating a new Droplet by making a POST request to the /v2/droplets endpoint requires the droplet:create scope while listing Droplets by making a GET request to the /v2/droplets endpoint requires the droplet:read scope.

Each endpoint below specifies which scope is required to access it when using custom scopes.

How to Authenticate with OAuth

In order to make an authenticated request, include a bearer-type Authorization header containing your OAuth token. All requests must be made over HTTPS.

Authenticate with a Bearer Authorization Header

curl -X $HTTP_METHOD -H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN" "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/$OBJECT"

To get a BYOIP prefix, send a GET request to /v2/byoip_prefixes/$byoip_prefix_uuid.

A successful response will return the details of the specified BYOIP prefix.

Path Parameters

byoip_prefix_uuid string (uuid) >= 1 required
Example: f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479

PATCH Update a BYOIP Prefix

/v2/byoip_prefixes/{byoip_prefix_uuid}
Authorizations: bearer_auth (1 scope)
Http: Bearer
Required scopes: byoip_prefix:write

OAuth Authentication

In order to interact with the DigitalOcean API, you or your application must authenticate.

The DigitalOcean API handles this through OAuth, an open standard for authorization. OAuth allows you to delegate access to your account. Scopes can be used to grant full access, read-only access, or access to a specific set of endpoints.

You can generate an OAuth token by visiting the Apps & API section of the DigitalOcean control panel for your account.

An OAuth token functions as a complete authentication request. In effect, it acts as a substitute for a username and password pair.

Because of this, it is absolutely essential that you keep your OAuth tokens secure. In fact, upon generation, the web interface will only display each token a single time in order to prevent the token from being compromised.

DigitalOcean access tokens begin with an identifiable prefix in order to distinguish them from other similar tokens.

  • dop_v1_ for personal access tokens generated in the control panel
  • doo_v1_ for tokens generated by applications using the OAuth flow
  • dor_v1_ for OAuth refresh tokens

Scopes

Scopes act like permissions assigned to an API token. These permissions determine what actions the token can perform. You can create API tokens that grant read-only access, full access, or limited access to specific endpoints by using custom scopes.

Generally, scopes are designed to match HTTP verbs and common CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete).

HTTP Verb CRUD Operation Scope
GET Read <resource>:read
POST Create <resource>:create
PUT/PATCH Update <resource>:update
DELETE Delete <resource>:delete

For example, creating a new Droplet by making a POST request to the /v2/droplets endpoint requires the droplet:create scope while listing Droplets by making a GET request to the /v2/droplets endpoint requires the droplet:read scope.

Each endpoint below specifies which scope is required to access it when using custom scopes.

How to Authenticate with OAuth

In order to make an authenticated request, include a bearer-type Authorization header containing your OAuth token. All requests must be made over HTTPS.

Authenticate with a Bearer Authorization Header

curl -X $HTTP_METHOD -H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN" "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/$OBJECT"

To update a BYOIP prefix, send a PATCH request to /v2/byoip_prefixes/$byoip_prefix_uuid.

Currently, you can update the advertisement status of the prefix. The response will include the updated details of the prefix.

Path Parameters

byoip_prefix_uuid string (uuid) required
Example: f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479

A unique identifier for a BYOIP prefix.

GET List BYOIP Prefix Resources

/v2/byoip_prefixes/{byoip_prefix_uuid}/ips
Authorizations: bearer_auth (1 scope)
Http: Bearer
Required scopes: byoip_prefix:read

OAuth Authentication

In order to interact with the DigitalOcean API, you or your application must authenticate.

The DigitalOcean API handles this through OAuth, an open standard for authorization. OAuth allows you to delegate access to your account. Scopes can be used to grant full access, read-only access, or access to a specific set of endpoints.

You can generate an OAuth token by visiting the Apps & API section of the DigitalOcean control panel for your account.

An OAuth token functions as a complete authentication request. In effect, it acts as a substitute for a username and password pair.

Because of this, it is absolutely essential that you keep your OAuth tokens secure. In fact, upon generation, the web interface will only display each token a single time in order to prevent the token from being compromised.

DigitalOcean access tokens begin with an identifiable prefix in order to distinguish them from other similar tokens.

  • dop_v1_ for personal access tokens generated in the control panel
  • doo_v1_ for tokens generated by applications using the OAuth flow
  • dor_v1_ for OAuth refresh tokens

Scopes

Scopes act like permissions assigned to an API token. These permissions determine what actions the token can perform. You can create API tokens that grant read-only access, full access, or limited access to specific endpoints by using custom scopes.

Generally, scopes are designed to match HTTP verbs and common CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete).

HTTP Verb CRUD Operation Scope
GET Read <resource>:read
POST Create <resource>:create
PUT/PATCH Update <resource>:update
DELETE Delete <resource>:delete

For example, creating a new Droplet by making a POST request to the /v2/droplets endpoint requires the droplet:create scope while listing Droplets by making a GET request to the /v2/droplets endpoint requires the droplet:read scope.

Each endpoint below specifies which scope is required to access it when using custom scopes.

How to Authenticate with OAuth

In order to make an authenticated request, include a bearer-type Authorization header containing your OAuth token. All requests must be made over HTTPS.

Authenticate with a Bearer Authorization Header

curl -X $HTTP_METHOD -H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN" "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/$OBJECT"

To list resources associated with BYOIP prefixes, send a GET request to /v2/byoip_prefixes/{byoip_prefix_uuid}/ips.

A successful response will return a list of resources associated with the specified BYOIP prefix.

Path Parameters

byoip_prefix_uuid string (uuid) >= 1 required
Example: f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479
