Does API v2 auto return the droplet IP and password when it is created so you can send the login details to your clients?
No, it’s not possible to get a droplet’s root password via the API. I would recommend adding your client’s SSH key and then selecting it when creating the droplet.

That is not supported at the moment as gathering system stats such as disk/memory/cpu usage requires access to the droplet itself which is impossible without an agent running on the droplet. See Add Ram & Disk Usage to Resource graphs. – Customer Feedback for DigitalOcean.
