Digital Ocean Databases API is one of 37 APIs that [Digital Ocean](https://apis.io/providers/digital-ocean/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Databases. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

DigitalOcean's [managed database service](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/databases) simplifies the creation and management of highly available database clusters. Currently, it offers support for [PostgreSQL](http://docs.digitalocean.com/products/databases/postgresql/), [Redis](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/databases/redis/), [MySQL](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/databases/mysql/), [MongoDB](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/databases/mongodb/), and [OpenSearch](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/databases/opensearch/). By sending requests to the `/v2/databases` endpoint, you can list, create, or delete database clusters as well as scale the size of a cluster, add or remove read-only replicas, and manage other configuration details. Database clusters may be deployed in a multi-node, high-availability configuration. If your machine type is above the basic nodes, your node plan is above the smallest option, or you are running MongoDB, you may additionally include up to two standby nodes in your cluster. The size of individual nodes in a database cluster is represented by a human-readable slug, which is used in some of the following requests. Each slug denotes the node's identifier, CPU count, and amount of RAM, in that order. For a list of currently available database slugs and options, use the `/v2/databases/options` endpoint or use the `doctl databases options` [command](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/doctl/reference/databases/options).
