## Endpoints

A regional endpoint is necessary to interact with the In-Memory DB REST API endpoints. For more information, see the [<mark style="color:blue;">API specification file</mark>](https://api.ionos.com/docs/in-memory-db/v1/).

Currently, <code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code> supports the following endpoints for various locations:

* Berlin, Germany: `https://in-memory-db.de-txl.ionos.com/replicasets`
* Frankfurt, Germany: `https://in-memory-db.de-fra.ionos.com/replicasets`
* Logroño, Spain: `https://in-memory-db.es-vit.ionos.com/replicasets`
* London, United Kingdom: `https://in-memory-db.gb-lhr.ionos.com/replicasets`
* Worcester, United Kingdom: `https://in-memory-db.gb-bhx.ionos.com/replicasets`
* Newark, United States: `https://in-memory-db.us-ewr.ionos.com/replicasets`
* Las Vegas, United States: `https://in-memory-db.us-las.ionos.com/replicasets`
* Lenexa, United States: `https://in-memory-db.us-mci.ionos.com/replicasets`
* Paris, France: `https://in-memory-db.fr-par.ionos.com/replicasets`

## Examples

The documentation contains `curl` examples, as the tool is available on Windows 10, Linux, and macOS. You can also refer to the following blog posts on the <code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code> website that describe how to run `curl` in [<mark style="color:blue;">Linux</mark>](https://www.ionos.com/digitalguide/server/tools/introduction-to-curl-in-linux) and [<mark style="color:blue;">Windows</mark>](https://www.ionos.com/digitalguide/server/tools/introduction-to-curl-in-windows) systems if you encounter any problems.
