Hello I am looking for a bash script that allows me to resize the droplet and start it after the operation is finished. I was able to handle the resize with API using curl in my bash script
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer EXAMPLE947b217efb6f3ec3bdEXAMPLE' \
-d '{"type":"resize","size":"s-2vcpu-4gb"}' \
"https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets/droplet_id/actions"
but seems that turning on the droplet is not done automatically after the action is finished

Hello,
You can check the API Documentation for Turning ON a droplet:
https://developers.digitalocean.com/documentation/v2/#power-on-a-droplet
A curl example is the following snippet:
- curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer b7d03a6947b217efb6f3ec3bd3504582" -d '{"type":"power_on"}' "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets/3164450/actions"

Hi @yaz1979,
In my experience, you can use one of the following
- List All Actions for a Volume To retrieve all actions that have been executed on a volume, send a GET request to /v2/volumes/$VOLUME_ID/actions. The results will be returned as a JSON object with an actions key. This will be set to an array filled with action objects containing the standard volume action attributes:
Or better yet, this one:
- Retrieve an Existing Volume Action - To retrieve the status of a volume action, send a GET request to /v2/volumes/$VOLUME_ID/actions/$ACTION_ID. The response will be an object with a key called action. The value of this will be an object that contains the standard volume action attributes:
I would suggest the latter would be a better option - Retrieve an Existing Volume Action
You can read more about them here:
