info:
  description: "The MongoDB Atlas Administration API allows developers to manage all components in MongoDB Atlas.\n\nThe Atlas Administration API supports OAuth2 Service Accounts and HTTP Digest-based API keys. Service accounts are the recommended authentication method and API keys are considered a legacy option.\n\nTo authenticate with a Service Account, first exchange its client ID and secret for an access token using the OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials flow. Atlas provides a token endpoint at `POST https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/oauth/token`, which returns a Bearer token that is reusable and valid for 1 hour (3600 seconds).\n\nFor example, to [return a list of your organizations](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/api/doc/atlas-admin-api-v2/operation/operation-listorgs) with [cURL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CURL), first generate an access token and then use that token to call the same Atlas Administration API endpoint shown in the current example:\n\n```\nACCESS_TOKEN=$(curl -fsS --request POST https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/oauth/token \\\n  --header \"Authorization: Basic $(printf '%s' \"${CLIENT_ID}:${CLIENT_SECRET}\" | base64 | tr -d '\\n')\" \\\n  --header \"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\" \\\n  --header \"Accept: application/json\" \\\n  --data \"grant_type=client_credentials\" | jq -r '.access_token')\n\ncurl --header \"Authorization: Bearer ${ACCESS_TOKEN}\" \\\n  --header \"Accept: application/vnd.atlas.2025-03-12+json\" \\\n  -X GET \"https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/atlas/v2/orgs?pretty=true\"\n```\n\nIf your organization requires an IP access list for the Atlas Administration API, the token can be created from any IP address, but the API call that uses the token must originate from an allowed IP.\n\nTo learn more, see [Get Started with the Atlas Administration API](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/configure-api-access/). For support, see [MongoDB Support](https://www.mongodb.com/support/get-started).\n\nYou can also explore the various endpoints available through the Atlas Administration API in MongoDB's [Postman workspace](https://www.postman.com/mongodb-devrel/workspace/mongodb-atlas-administration-apis/) (requires a Postman account)."
