Overview of the Containers Management API
The platform's Containers Management API ("the Containers API") is used to create and manage data containers.
-
To create a new container, use
Create Container . -
To return information about all the containers that are visible to the user who sent the request, or about a specific container, use
List Containers . -
To delete a container, use
Delete Container .
The Containers API is part of the cluster-management APIs and conforms to the related structure and syntax rules — see General Management-API Structure.
The API's endpoint is /api/containers.
The Containers API identifies containers by their IDs. When creating a new container, you set the container name and get back the container ID. See Container Names and IDs.
