Updated

Learn how to retrieve hardware information (i.e. disk size, RAM, number of cores, and motherboard details) for a Dedicated Server.

 

Requirements

 

Instructions

From the OVHcloud API, navigate to the /dedicated/server section.

If you are unfamiliar with the OVHcloud API, this guide will get you started.

List the internal name of all your dedicated servers:

GET /dedicated/server

Example Output:

[
  "ns1234567.ip-123-456-789.us"
]

Retrieve hardware information about a specific dedicated server using this call:

GET /dedicated/server/{serviceName}/specifications/hardware

Example Output:

{

    bootMode: "uefi"
    threadsPerProcessor: 16
    -
    diskGroups: [
        -
        {
            raidController: null
            -
            diskSize: {
                value: 960
                unit: "GB"
            }
