Question

Check provision status of api created database cluster

We are creating a database cluster from the api. That part works fine, but we need a way to check and be notified once the cluster is done provisioning so we can add the databases to it. We tried making a curl call to the host but that seems to return the same response regardless if its provisioning or complete. I was able to find this for droplets, but not for database clusters.

TIA

Hello,

I believe that this information should be available using this API call:

curl -X GET \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN" \
  "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/databases/{database_cluster_uuid}"

This will return information about the cluster and its status as follows:

{
  "database": {
    "id": "9cc10173-e9ea-4176-9dbc-a4cee4c4ff30",
    "name": "backend",
    "engine": "pg",
    "version": "14",
...
    "num_nodes": 2,
    "region": "nyc3",
    "status": "creating",
    "created_at": "2019-01-11T18:37:36.000Z",
...
  }
}

For more information you can check out the ‘Retrieve an Existing Database Cluster’ section here:

Hope that this helps!

Best,

Bobby
