# IONOS Cloud DBaaS MongoDB API

The <code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code> Database as a Service (DBaaS) MongoDB API lets you provision and manage highly available MongoDB clusters, configure backups using point-in-time snapshots, and handle user access and privileges.

## What can I do with the MongoDB APIs?

The MongoDB API lets you manage MongoDB database clusters programmatically by using conventional `HTTP` requests.

You can also use the MongoDB API to:

* Modify cluster attributes.
* Create sharded clusters.
* Enable the BI Connector for analytics.
* Manage user access to clusters.
* Access cluster logs.
* Migrate databases between clusters.
* Restore database clusters from backups.
