API How-Tos
The Cloud API lets you manage MongoDB database clusters programmatically by using the conventional HTTP requests. The creation of MongoDB cluster functionality that is available in the IONOS Cloud DCD is also available through the API.
You can also use the Cloud API to perform the following actions: modify cluster attributes, create sharded clusters, enable the BI connector, manage user access to clusters, access logs, migration of databases, and restore a database cluster.
