  title: Neo4j Aura Instances API
  description: 'The Neo4j Aura API provides programmatic access to manage Neo4j AuraDB cloud database instances. It supports operations across three primary resources: instances, tenants, and snapshots. Developers authenticate using OAuth2 bearer tokens obtained through client credentials, and can automate the provisioning, configuration, and management of their cloud-hosted Neo4j graph databases. The API is accessible through the api.neo4j.io platform and is available to Aura Enterprise customers.'
