Cloud Foundry App Autoscaler API is one of 14 APIs that [Cloud Foundry](https://apis.io/providers/cloud-foundry/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Autoscaling, Metrics, Application, and Policy. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

The App Autoscaler is a Cloud Foundry service that automatically scales application instances against dynamic metric rules and scheduled windows. The project publishes OpenAPI descriptions for its public surface: a Policy API for reading, writing and deleting a per-application scaling policy, a Custom Metrics API for submitting application-defined metrics, a Scaling History API for the record of scaling events, and an Application Metric API for aggregated metric series.
