Getting Started

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

1. Obtain the token by following instructions in section Authentication.
2. Send POST https://DDS endpoint/v3/{project_id}/instances.
3. Add X-Auth-Token to the request header.
4. Specify the following parameters in the request body:
   

   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.
