The Volumes Block Storage API endpoints are organized into the following groups:

  • Block Storage (9 endpoints): DigitalOcean Block Storage Volumes provide expanded storage capacity for your Droplets and can be moved between Droplets within a specific region.
  • Block Storage Actions (4 endpoints): Block storage actions are commands that can be given to a DigitalOcean Block Storage Volume. An example would be detaching or attaching a volume from a Droplet. These requests are made on the /v2/volumes/$VOLUME_ID/actions endpoint.
