Info

The Bonsai API is currently in its Alpha release phase. It may not be feature-complete, and is subject to change without notice. If you have any questions about the roadmap of the API, please reach out to support.

The Spaces API provides users a method to explore the server groups and geographic regions available to their account, where clusters may be provisioned. This API supports the following actions:

  • View all available spaces for your account
  • View a single space for your account

The Bonsai Space Object

The Bonsai API provides a standard format for Space objects. A Space object includes:

AttributeDescription

cloudAn Object containing details about the cloud provider and region attributes:
  • provider. A String representing a machine-readable name for the cloud provider in which this space is deployed.
  • region. A String representing a machine-readable name for the geographic region of the server group.
