Endpoints

An endpoint is the request address for calling an API. Endpoints vary depending on services and regions. An endpoint can be obtained from Regions and Endpoints.

Select an endpoint based on your service requirements.

The URL format for cluster, node, node pool, add-on, and quota management is https://Endpoint/uri. uri indicates the resource path, that is, the API access path.
The URL format for Kubernetes APIs, storage management, and add-on management is https://{clusterid}.Endpoint/uri. In the URL, {clusterid} indicates the cluster ID, and uri indicates the resource path, that is, the path for API access.
- The format of the URL called by the add-on management APIs is https://{clusterid}.Endpoint/uri. However, {clusterid} is used only for the domain name and is not verified or used by the APIs. Set {clusterid} in the query or body. For details about {clusterid}, see the add-on management sections.
- {clusterid} is required for Kubernetes APIs and storage management, which indicates the cluster that needs to be accessed by calling the API.

**Table 1** URL parameters
Parameter	Description
{clusterid}	Cluster ID. After a cluster is created, call the API for obtaining a cluster in a specified project to obtain the cluster ID.
Endpoint	Entry (URL) for a web service. Endpoints vary depending on services and regions.
uri	Access path of an API for performing an operation. Obtain the path from the URI of an API. For example, the resource-path of the API used to obtain a user token is v3/auth/tokens.
