VPC Peerings

View full API reference

VPC Peerings join two VPC networks with a secure, private connection. This allows resources in those networks to connect to each other's private IP addresses as if they were in the same network.

Base URL https://api.digitalocean.com

Endpoints

GET List All VPC Peerings POST Create a New VPC Peering GET Retrieve an Existing VPC Peering PATCH Update a VPC peering DELETE Delete a VPC peering

GET List All VPC Peerings

/v2/vpc_peerings
Authorizations: bearer_auth (1 scope)
Http: Bearer
Required scopes: vpc_peering: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 all of the VPC peerings on your account, send a GET request to /v2/vpc_peerings.

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).

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 show information about an existing VPC Peering, send a GET request to /v2/vpc_peerings/$VPC_PEERING_ID.

Path Parameters

vpc_peering_id string (uuid) required

PATCH Update a VPC peering

/v2/vpc_peerings/{vpc_peering_id}
Authorizations: bearer_auth (1 scope)
Http: Bearer
Required scopes: vpc_peering:update

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 the name of a VPC peering, send a PATCH request to /v2/vpc_peerings/$VPC_PEERING_ID with the new name in the request body.

Path Parameters

vpc_peering_id string (uuid) required
Example: 5a4981aa-9653-4bd1-bef5-d6bff52042e4

A unique identifier for a VPC peering.

Request Body: application/json
