Linode API - Release Notes

• User Preferences Update ( PUT /profile/preferences)

  • The total length of the preferences JSON can not exceed 65,535 characters.

• SSH Key Add ( POST /profile/sshkeys)

  • This command now accepts the ssh_key format sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 (Akamai-specific).

• Linode Instances and their Backups now include the “available” read-only property which indicates whether a Linode’s Backups are available for restoration. Backups that are undergoing maintenance are not available for restoration.

• Fixed a bug that caused a Volume’s linode_label to return as null in the response for Volume Resize ( POST /volumes/{volumeId}/resize) and for all Volumes beyond the first when attached to the same Linode for Volumes List ( GET /volumes). Now, linode_label always displays the correct value in responses for these commands.

• Fixed a bug that caused extra Configs to persist after accessing the Linode Boot into Rescue Mode ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/rescue) command. Now, only the most recent rescue Config persists after booting into rescue mode.

• Linode Compute Instances now include the read-only host_uuid property. This UUID identifies the host machine of a compute instance, enabling potential failure point identification for applications running on multiple instances.

• Managed Service Create ( POST /managed/services)

  Managed Service Update ( PUT /managed/services/{serviceId})

  • The address property for Managed Services now has a limit of up to 100 characters.

• Linodes Assign IPv4s ( POST /networking/ipv4/assign)

  • This command is now equivalent to IP Addresses Assign ( POST /networking/ipv4/assign).

• StackScripts are now filterable by rev_note in accordance to the documentation.

• Domain Record Create ( POST /domains/{domainId}/records)

  Domain Record Update ( PUT /domains/{domainId}/records/{recordId})

  • Requests for CAA records now require valid target values depending on the record’s tag.
  • Requests for PTR records now require a target attribute.

• IPv4 Sharing Configure ( POST /networking/ipv4/share)

  • This command is now equivalent to IP Addresses Share ( POST /networking/ips/share).

• Image Create ( POST /images)

  • Fixed a bug that allowed successful requests for disks of deleted Linodes, which would lead to failed Image creation. Now, requests for disks of deleted Linodes result in a 404 response.

• Linode Assign IPs ( POST /networking/ips/assign)

  • Fixed a bug that allowed IP assignment requests with empty address values. Requests must now include IP addresses.

• Tagged Objects List ( GET/tags/{label})

  • Fixed a bug that produced incorrect Linode statuses in responses.

• Domain Create ( POST /domains)

  Domain Update ( PUT /domains/{domainId})

  • axfr_ips and master_ips each now have a total combined length limit of 1000 characters for data within their respective arrays.

• Linodes Assign IPv4s ( POST /networking/ipv4/assign)

  • Fixed a bug that prevented successful swapping of private IPv4 addresses.

• NodeBalancer Config Create ( POST /nodebalancers/{nodeBalancerId}/configs)

  NodeBalancer Config Update ( PUT /nodebalancers/{nodeBalancerId}/configs/{configId})

  • Previously, NodeBalancer Configs were created with default values of 2 for check_interval and 30 for check_timeout. This violated the requirement that check_timeout be greater than check_interval, causing Config Update requests to fail if these values were not updated. Now, the default value for check_interval is 31 when creating NodeBalancer Configs.

• Promo Credit Add ( POST /account/promo-codes)

  • Fixed a bug that caused an incorrect expire_dt value in responses.

• Firewall Create ( POST /networking/firewalls)

  Firewall Rules Update ( PUT /networking/firewalls/{firewallId}/rules)

  Linodes Assign IPv4s ( POST /networking/ipv4/assign)

  • Fixed a bug that prevented IP assignments involving Linodes with multiple private IP addresses.

• Managed MongoDB Database Create (POST /databases/mongodb/instances)
  • New MongoDB Databases cannot currently be created.

• IPv4 Address Delete ( DELETE /linode/instances/{linodeId}/ips/{address})
  • This command can now be used to delete a Linode’s private IPv4 address. Previously, only public IPv4 addresses could be deleted with this command.

• Fixed a bug that caused all Disks on a Linode to return a “not ready” status if one of the disks was not ready.

• Fixed a bug that caused an error when attempting a Linode Clone while below the limit of 5 concurrent clones. Now, the error only returns when attempting more than 5 concurrent clones of a Linode.

• Linodes that are in the process of backup restoration can no longer be deleted.

• Previously, assigning an IP address off of a Managed Linode automatically set the Managed Setting “ssh.access” property to false. Now, assignment of a Managed Linode’s IP Address does not affect its “ssh.access” setting.

• Account View ( GET /account)
  • The billing_source property has been added to this command’s response, which specifies whether the Account has an Akamai-specific relationship.

• Fixed a bug that allowed requests to create Managed Databases with an invalid number of nodes. Managed Databases can only be created with 1 or 3 nodes.

• StackScript Create ( POST /linode/stackscripts)

  StackScript Update ( PUT /linode/stackscripts/{stackscriptId})

  • StackScripts are now configurable to accept any and all available Image distributions by using the any/all value for a StackScript’s “images”.

• Fixed a bug regarding removal of VLAN interfaces from Linodes, which prevented certain functions such as migrating Linodes to regions that do not support VLANs.

• Fixed a bug where removing a Linode IP address failed to update any Managed Linode access settings that involved that IP address. Now, a Managed Linode’s ssh properties are reset to their default values in this case. To view and configure Managed Linode SSH settings, use the Linode’s Managed Settings View ( GET /managed/linode-settings/{linodeId}) and Linode’s Managed Settings Update ( PUT /managed/linode-settings/{linodeId}) commands.

• The Image Upload ( POST /images/upload) beta endpoint has been added. This endpoint can be used to initiate a Machine Image upload by creating a new private Image object and returning it, along with the URL the image data can be uploaded to.

• Support Tickets for VLANs can now be opened. Accordingly, the following properties were added to the Support Ticket Open ( POST /support/tickets) endpoint:
  • vlan: The label of the VLAN this ticket is regarding, if relevant. Requires a specified region to identify the VLAN.
  • region: The Region ID for the associated VLAN this ticket is regarding. This property is only allowed when opening a VLAN ticket.

• Previously, submitting ssl_cert or ssl_key values with improper formatting resulted in a 500 error when using the NodeBalancers Config Update ( /nodebalancers/{nodeBalancerId}/configs/{configId}) endpoint.

  • Configuration Profile Create ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/configs)
  • Configuration Profile Update ( PUT /linode/instances/{linodeId}/configs/{configId})

• Previously, the Configuration Profile Update ( PUT /linode/instances/{linodeId}/configs/{configId}) endpoint erroneously stated the label and devices properties as required and the interfaces.purpose property as optional. The label and devices properties are now stated as optional, while the interfaces.purpose property is now stated as required.

• The VLANs List ( GET /networking/vlans) beta endpoint has been added. VLANs provide a mechanism for secure communication between two or more Linodes that are assigned to the same VLAN and are both within the same Layer 2 broadcast domain. VLANs can be created and attached to Linodes by using the new interfaces property at the following endpoints:
  • Linode Create ( POST /linode/instances)
  • Configuration Profile Create ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/configs)
  • Configuration Profile Update ( PUT /linode/instances/{linodeId}/configs/{configId})

• The Account Update ( PUT /account) endpoint zip property has been updated with new restrictions. Previously, the zip only had a 16 character limit. Now, zip may only consist of letters, numbers, spaces, and hyphens, and must not contain more than 9 letter or number characters. These conditions must also be satisfied when accessing the Credit Card Add/Edit ( POST /account/credit-card) endpoint.

• Previously, users without read-write access to Longview Clients could still access their api_key and install_code when accessing the Longview Clients List ( GET /longview/clients) and Longview Client View ( GET /longview/clients/{clientId}) endpoints. Now, [REDACTED] is returned for these properties for users without read-write access to the associated Longview Clients.

• Previously, the label property for the Linode Create ( POST /linode/instances) request body schema lacked a type specification and restriction. The endpoint’s request body schema has been refactored to include the string type specification and the restriction that Linode labels must end with an alphanumeric character.

• The Account View ( GET /account) endpoint response schema has been updated to include the active_promotions.service_type property which specifies the services to which a promotion applies.

• The Service Transfer Create ( POST /account/service-transfers) endpoint description incorrectly stated that Backups for transferred Linodes were not included in a transfer, and associated data would be removed/cancelled. This has been corrected to state that Backups are transferred with Linodes as well.

• Previously, the IPv6 SLAAC addresses for Linodes were incorrectly returned with /64 prefixes for endpoints such as Linode View ( GET /linode/instances/{linodeId}). This has been fixed so that Linode IPv6 SLAAC addresses are accurately returned with /128 prefixes.

• The Config Rebuild ( POST /nodebalancers/{nodeBalancerId}/configs/{configId}/rebuild) endpoint has been updated as follows:
  • An error was fixed that prevented the linode-cli nodebalancers config-rebuild command from working.
  • Previously, the request body schema incorrectly stated only a configs array is passed to this endpoint. This has been corrected to fully state the request body schema object and properties.
  • The CLI request sample has been updated to include examples of nodes arguments for the linode-cli nodebalancers config-rebuild command.

• The following endpoints for the new Service Transfer feature, which enables transfers of Linodes between customer accounts, have been added:
  • Service Transfers List ( GET /account/service-transfers). Returns a collection of all created and accepted Service Transfers.
  • Service Transfer Create ( POST /account/service-transfers). Creates a transfer request for the specified services. At this time, only Linodes can be transferred.
  • Service Transfer Cancel ( DELETE /account/service-transfers/{token}). Cancels the Service Transfer for the provided token.
  • Service Transfer View ( GET /account/service-transfers/{token}). Returns the details of the Service Transfer for the provided token.

• The following endpoints have been deprecated:

  • Entity Transfers List ( GET /account/entity-transfers).
  • Entity Transfer Create ( POST /account/entity-transfers).
  • Entity Transfer Cancel ( DELETE /account/entity-transfers/{token}).
  • Entity Transfer View ( GET /account/entity-transfers/{token}).
  • Entity Transfer Accept ( POST /account/entity-transfers/{token}/accept).

• The Firewall Create ( POST /networking/firewalls) beta endpoint has been updated with the following:

  • The required rules.inbound_policy and rules.outbound_policy properties were added to allow controlling default behavior for inbound and outbound traffic, respectively.
  • The rules.inbound.action and rules.outbound.action properties were added to control traffic for individual rules. These properties are required for inbound and outbound rules and override the rules.inbound_policy and rules.outbound_policy properties, respectively.
  • Previously, rules.inbound was required. It is now optional.
  • The rules.inbound.label, rules.inbound.description, rules.outbound.label, and rules.outbound.description properties were added for organization and display purposes.
  • Previously, up to five active Firewalls could be assigned to a single Linode service. Now, only one active Firewall can be assigned to a single Linode service.

• A bug has been fixed that prevented correct filtering for the Service Transfers List ( GET /account/service-transfers) endpoint is_sender property.

• The Volume Attach ( POST /volumes/{volumeId}/attach) endpoint erroneously marked the linode_id property as nullable and required. This has been corrected to state that the property is optional and only accepts an integer.

• The Maintenance List ( GET /account/maintenance) beta endpoint previously returned information for inactive Linodes. This has been fixed to exclude information for inactive Linodes.

• The Domain Update ( PUT /domains/{domainId}) endpoint request body schema erroneously stated that the domain and type properties were required. The spec has been updated to mark these properties as optional.

• The Domain Create ( POST /domains) endpoint and Domain Update ( PUT /domains/{domainId}) endpoint SHELL request samples incorrectly stated a display_group property and excluded the tags property. The samples have been updated to state the group and tags properties.

• The following Domain schema properties have been updated to include the following missing value traits:

  • domain: minimum 1 and maximum 255 characters
  • status: a default value of active
  • refresh_sec: a valid, default value of 0, which is equivalent to 14400
  • retry_sec: a valid, default value of 0, which is equivalent to 14400
  • expire_sec: a valid, default value of 0, which is equivalent to 1209600

• The Account View ( GET /account) endpoint response body balance_uninvoiced description inaccurately stated that “Bandwidth charges are not included in the estimate.” This has been corrected to state that “Transfer charges are not included in the estimate.”

• The Entity Transfer Create ( POST /account/entity-transfers) endpoint description has been updated to include warnings regarding Linode Backups and associated DNS records.

• The Linode CLI command examples and schema were faulty and have been fixed for the following endpoints:

  • Entity Transfers List ( GET /account/entity-transfers).
  • Entity Transfer Create ( POST /account/entity-transfers).
  • Entity Transfer Cancel ( DELETE /account/entity-transfers/{token}).
  • Entity Transfer View ( GET /account/entity-transfers/{token}).
  • Entity Transfer Accept ( POST /account/entity-transfers/{token}/accept).

  • Entity Transfers List ( GET /account/entity-transfers). Returns a collection of all created and accepted Entity Transfers.
  • Entity Transfer Create ( POST /account/entity-transfers). Creates a transfer request for the specified entities. At this time, only Linodes can be transferred.
  • Entity Transfer Cancel ( DELETE /account/entity-transfers/{token}). Cancels the Entity Transfer for the provided token.
  • Entity Transfer View ( GET /account/entity-transfers/{token}). Returns the details of the Entity Transfer for the provided token.
  • Entity Transfer Accept ( POST /account/entity-transfers/{token}/accept). Accept an Entity Transfer for the provided token to receive the entities included in the transfer to your account.

• The Linode Firewalls List ( GET /linode/instances/{linodeId}/firewalls) endpoint has been added. This endpoint provides Firewall information for Firewalls associated with a particular Linode.

• The request body schema for the Domain Record Create ( POST /domains/{domainId}/records) endpoint has been updated to include details regarding the different functions of the name and target properties for all record types. Previously, only minor details for the A and AAAA record types were provided.

• The request body schema for the Firewalls Create ( POST /networking/firewalls) beta endpoint has been updated to specify that the label property is now required and must be unique.

• The shell request sample for the Volume Attach ( POST /volumes/{volumeId}/attach) endpoint erroneously stated a PUT request. It has been corrected to state a POST request.

• The limit of Firewalls per Linode service has been increased from 3 to 5. Descriptions for Firewall ( /networking) beta endpoints were updated to reflect this increase.

• The description for the User Create ( POST /account/users) endpoint has been updated to include details for the email confirmation that is sent to newly-created Users.

• The description for the Kubernetes Cluster Recycle ( POST /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/recycle) endpoint has been updated to include more descriptive language regarding recycling all Nodes within an LKE Cluster.

• Descriptions for Object Storage ( /object-storage) endpoints contained broken links to S3 API documentation. These links have been fixed.

• Corrected typos found in the API Specification.

• The LKE Kubernetes Cluster Recycle ( POST /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/recycle) endpoint can now be used to recycle all of the Nodes in a Kubernetes cluster. Replacement Nodes are installed with the latest available patch for the Cluster’s Kubernetes Version.

• The LKE Node View ( GET /lke/clusters/{clusterID}/nodes/{nodeId}) endpoint can now be used to view the details of an individual Node within a Kubernetes cluster.

• The LKE Node Recycle ( POST /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/nodes/{nodeId}/recycle) endpoint can now be used to recycle a Node within a Kubernetes cluster. Replacement Nodes are installed with the latest available patch for the Cluster’s Kubernetes Version.

• The LKE Kubernetes Cluster Update ( PUT /lke/clusters/{clusterId}) endpoint now includes the k8s_version property in its request body schema. This property can be used to upgrade a Kubernetes cluster to the next minor version. New and recycled Nodes in this cluster will be deployed using the latest supported patch of this version.

• A bug was fixed to reject leading zeroes on ports set in Firewalls inbound and outbound rules. The following endpoints have been updated to reflect this new exclusion:

  • Firewall Create ( POST /networking/firewalls)
  • Firewall Update ( PUT /networking/firewalls/{firewallId})
  • Firewall Rules Update ( PUT /networking/firewalls/{firewallId}/rules)

• The Object Storage Object ACL Config Update ( PUT /object-storage/buckets/{clusterId}/{bucket}/object-acl) endpoint previously specified the object name as a query parameter. This was corrected to specify the object name in the request body.

• The following endpoints were corrected to include page, pages, and results in their response objects:

  • User Logins List All ( GET /account/logins)
  • Logins List ( GET /profile/logins)

• A bug was fixed to allow preservation of URL parameters for service monitor addresses set at the following endpoints:

  • Managed Service Create ( POST /managed/services)

• OAuth Reference has been updated to include Firewall, Maintenance, and Object Storage security scopes.

• The x-linode-grant for the Event Mark as Seen ( POST /account/events/{eventId}/seen) endpoint has been corrected to read_only. Previously, it was stated as read_write.

• The OAuth scope for the Firewalls List ( GET /networking/firewalls) endpoint has been correct to firewall:read_only. Previously, it was stated as firewalls:read_only.

• CNAME records now allow for a trailing period (.) on target entries. Previously, a CNAME record ending in a period (.) would result in an error. The endpoints affected by this change are:

  • Domain Record Create ( POST /domains/{domainId}/records)
  • Domain Record Update ( PUT /domains/{domainId}/records/{recordId})

• Added the Object Storage Object ACL View ( GET /object-storage/buckets/{clusterId}/{bucket}/object-acl) endpoint. This endpoint returns an Object’s currently configured Access Control List (ACL) within a specific bucket. ACLs define who can access your buckets and objects and specify the level of access granted to those users.

• Added the Object Storage Object ACL Update ( PUT /object-storage/buckets/{clusterId}/{bucket}/object-acl) endpoint. This endpoint update’s an Object’s currently configured Access Control List (ACL) within a specific bucket. ACLs define who can access your buckets and objects and specify the level of access granted to those users.

• Added the Object Storage Bucket Access Update ( PUT /object-storage/buckets/{clusterId}/{bucket}/access) endpoint. Use this endpoint to update a bucket’s basic Cross-origin Resource Sharing (CORS) and Access Control Level (ACL) settings.

• Added the Object Storage Transfer View ( GET /object-storage/transfer) endpoint. This endpoint returns the amount of outbound data transfer used by your account’s Object Storage buckets. Object Storage adds 1 terabyte of outbound data transfer to your data transfer pool. See the Object Storage Pricing guide for details on Object Storage transfer quotas.

• Added the objects field to the following Object Storage endpoints:

  • Object Storage Buckets List ( GET /object-storage/buckets)
  • Object Storage Buckets in Cluster List ( GET /object-storage/buckets/{clusterId})
  • Object Storage Bucket View ( GET /object-storage/buckets/{clusterId}/{bucket})

  The object field returns the number of objects stored in a bucket.

• Error messages for Firewall endpoints have been improved. When applicable, they now return a Firewall Device’s label and id.

• Fixed the Ticket Attachment Create ( POST /support/tickets/{ticketId}/attachments) endpoint’s SHELL example with the correct way to attach a file when creating a support ticket.

• Linode’s API v4 documentation has been moved to reside in the new Linode Docs site.

  • Our OpenAPI specification can now be downloaded at https://www.linode.com/docs/api/openapi.yaml.
  • Any links within the spec file have been updated to reflect this new location.

• All links within API changelog entries have been updated to reflect the new location of the API v4 spec file.

• The cvv field in the Credit Card Add/Edit ( POST https://api.linode.com/v4/account/credit-card) endpoint is now required.

• Added the message field to the Event schema object. The message field provides additional information about the event. Additional information may include, but is not limited to, a more detailed representation of events which can help diagnose non-obvious failures. This new field is available on the following Account Event endpoints:

  • Event List ( GET /account/events)
  • Event View ( GET /account/events/{eventId})

• Added the deprecated field to the Kernel schema object. If this Kernel is marked as deprecated, this field has a value of true; otherwise, this field is false. This new field is available on the Linode Instances Kernel endpoints:

  • Kernels List ( GET /linode/kernels)
  • Kernel View ( GET /linode/kernels/{kernelId})

• Updated the endpoint names to follow the convention noun followed by verb. For example, View Account is now named Account View.

• Updated the description for the Object Storage Key Create ( POST /object-storage/keys) endpoint with information on the available Access Key and Limited Access Key creation options.

• Updated the bucket_access field description in the ObjectStorageKey schema object with a note about the results of omitting this field when creating a limited access Object Storage Key.

• The User’s Grants View ( GET /account/users/{username}/grants) endpoint was updated to have a less restrictive authorization of account:read_only instead of account:read_write. This fixes the discrepancy between specification and endpoint behavior.

• You can now upload your own TLS/SSL certificates to your Object Storage buckets. Your TLS/SSL certificates can be self-signed or issued from a CA authority like Let’s Encrypt. When a user accesses your Object Storage bucket over HTTPS your uploaded TLS/SSL certificate is served. The following Object Storage endpoints have been added to the APIv4:

  • Upload Object Storage TLS/SSL Cert ( POST /object-storage/buckets/{clusterId}/{bucket}/ssl)
  • View Object Storage TLS/SSL Cert ( GET /object-storage/buckets/{clusterId}/{bucket}/ssl)
  • Delete Object Storage TLS/SSL Cert ( DELETE /object-storage/buckets/{clusterId}/{bucket}/ssl)

• When you have active Domains on your Account, but no active Linodes, your domains are not served. The List Notifications ( GET /account/notifications) endpoint now returns a notification to alert you when your Account falls under this case.

• The NodeBalancers endpoints error messages were improved to include information about a field’s valid values.

• The APIv4 now returns a warning when you execute a staged/approved PayPal payment ( POST /account/payments/paypal/execute) and your payment is successfully processed, but an error occurs related to releasing a service suspension. Prior to this fix, a 500 error occurred instead.

• Now, when you have an outstanding balance on your account, adding more nodes to a Kubernetes Cluster fails. An error message with Cannot add or create LKE objects with an outstanding balance on your account is returned when this occurs. This affects the following endpoints:

  • Create Kubernetes Cluster ( POST /lke/clusters)
  • Create Node Pool ( POST /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/pools)
  • Update Node Pool ( PUT /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/pools/{poolId})
  • Recycle Node Pool endpoints. ( POST /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/pools/{poolId}/recycle)

• When you attempt to create a Kubernetes cluster ( POST /lke/clusters) or create a node pool ( POST /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/pools) with unsupported node types, you receive an error message. Currently, LKE does not support 1 GB Linode instances, or GPU Linode instances.

• You can now create an Object Storage Limited Access Key without access to any buckets. This is achieved by creating an Object Storage Key with an empty bucket_access array. This type of Limited Access Key can:

  • list all buckets available on your Account, but cannot perform any actions on a bucket.

  • create new buckets, but does not have any access to the buckets it creates.

Linode Cloud Firewall is now available in the Sydney data center as part our Linode Green Light Beta Program. Cloud Firewall is a free service used to create, configure, and add stateful network-based firewalls to Linode services using the Linode Cloud Manager and the Linode APIv4. A Cloud Firewall is independent of the service it is attached to, so you can apply a single Firewall to multiple Linode services. Currently, a Cloud Firewall can only be applied to Linode instances.

• Cloud Firewall beta endpoints have been added to the Networking collection. Note: These endpoints are prepended with /v4beta instead of /v4.

  • List Firewalls ( GET /networking/firewalls)
  • Create Firewall ( POST /networking/firewalls)
  • View Firewall ( GET /networking/firewalls/{firewallId})
  • Update Firewall ( PUT /networking/firewalls/{firewallId})
  • Delete Firewall ( DELETE /networking/firewalls/{firewallId})
  • List Firewall Devices ( GET /networking/firewalls/{firewallId}/devices)
  • Create Firewall Device ( POST /networking/firewalls/{firewallId}/devices)
  • View Firewall Device ( GET /networking/firewalls/{firewallId}/devices/{deviceId})
  • Delete Firewall Device ( DELETE /networking/firewalls/{firewallId}/devices/{deviceId})
  • List Firewall Rules ( GET /networking/firewalls/{firewallId}/rules)
  • Update Firewall Rules ( PUT /networking/firewalls/{firewallId}/rules)

• Added the Reset Linode Root Password ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/password) endpoint to the Linode Instances collection. Use this endpoint to reset the root password for a Linode.

• Added the bucket_access field to the Create an Object Storage Key ( POST /object-storage/keys) endpoint. This field defines an Object Storage key as a Limited Access Key. Limited Access Keys have access to only the bucket(s) that are specified along with read_write or read_only bucket-level permissions. Limited Access Keys can:

  • list all buckets available on an Account, but cannot perform any actions on a bucket unless it has access to the bucket.

  • create new buckets, but does not have any access to the buckets it creates, unless explicitly given access to them.

• NodeBalancers now support Proxy Protocol with the addition of the proxy_protocol field. Proxy Protocol sends TCP client connection information, like source and destination IP addresses and port numbers, to your NodeBalancer’s backend nodes. This new field is available in the following NodeBalancer endpoints:

  • List Configs ( GET /nodebalancers/{nodeBalancerId}/configs)
  • Create Config ( POST /nodebalancers/{nodeBalancerId}/configs)
  • View Config ( GET /nodebalancers/{nodeBalancerId}/configs/{configId})
  • Update Config ( PUT /nodebalancers/{nodeBalancerId}/configs/{configId})
  • Delete Config ( DELETE /nodebalancers/{nodeBalancerId}/configs/{configId})
  • Rebuild Config ( POST /nodebalancers/{nodeBalancerId}/configs/{configId}/rebuild)

• The APIv4 OpenAPI 3 reference now correctly documents the prefix and route_target fields as part of the List IPv6 Ranges endpoint. Previously, these fields were mistakenly left out of the APIv4 OpenAPI 3 reference.

• Added the BETA List Maintenance ( GET /account/maintenance) endpoint. This new beta endpoint allows you to view a collection of maintenance objects for any entity you have permissions to view. Currently, Linodes are the only entities available for viewing.

• A bug was fixed that would result in a 500 error when filtering domain records by a non-existent tag. This will now return a 200 response with an empty pagination result.
• Previously, NS and CNAME records could be created for each other, resulting in errors when the zone file is rendered. If this is attempted now, the record creation will fail with a “Record conflict” message.
• Changes were made to the ( GET /linode/instances) endpoint to improve response time.

• The IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of the DNS resolvers for a region are now accessible at the View Region ( GET /regions/{regionId}) endpoint.

• Changing your Longview subscription is no longer available at the Update Account Settings ( PUT /account/settings) endpoint. Accordingly, the longview_subscription property has been removed from the Update Account Settings request body. To update your Longview plan, please use the Update Longview Plan ( PUT /longview/plan) endpoint.

• Updated the description and response for the View Longview Plan ( GET /longview/plan) endpoint:

  • The previous description stated that this endpoint returns a longview_subscription ID. This has been corrected to state that the response consists of a LongviewSubscription object for your current Longview Pro plan, or an empty set {} if your current plan is Longview Free.
  • The response body and sample have been updated to include the details of the returned LongviewSubscription object for your current Longview plan.

• Accessing the View Longview Plan ( GET /longview/plan) endpoint now requires one of the following global User Grants:

  • "account_access": read_write
  • "account_access": read_only
  • "longview_subscription": true
  • "add_longview": true

• Updated the description, request, and response for the Update Longview Plan ( PUT /longview/plan) endpoint:

  • The previous description stated that this endpoint returns a longview_subscription ID. The description has been corrected to state that the response consists of a LongviewSubscription object for the updated Longview Pro plan, or an empty set {} if the updated plan is Longview Free.
  • Accessing this endpoint now requires "longview_subscription": true as a global User Grant.
  • The required OAuth scope has been changed from account:read_write to longview:read_write.
  • The request body schema has been updated to specify possible values for the longview_subscription field and to reflect that it is nullable, with a null value corresponding to Longview Free.
  • The response body and sample have been updated to include the details of the returned LongviewSubscription object.

• Updated the response for the List Longview Subscriptions ( GET /longview/subscription) and View Longview Subscription ( GET /longview/subscriptions/{subscriptionID}) endpoint:

  • The response id property has been revised to specify possible values.

• Updated the Object Storage Bucket response schema to include the size property in the List Object Storage Buckets ( GET /object-storage/buckets), Create Object Storage Bucket ( POST /object-storage/buckets), View Object Storage Bucket ( GET /object-storage/buckets/{clusterId}/{bucket}), and List Object Storage Buckets in Cluster ( GET /object-storage/buckets/{clusterId}) endpoints.

• A bug that prevented the Update Longview Plan ( PUT /longview/plan) endpoint from functioning has been fixed. The endpoint will now update your account’s Longview plan as expected.

• Added the Recycle Node Pool ( POST /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/pools/{poolId}/recycle) endpoint. This new endpoint allows you to recycle the Node Pool of your specified Kubernetes Cluster by clusterId and poolId.

• Password validation is now solely reliant upon complexity (strength) score and no longer requires a set number of characters in special classes. Relevant endpoints:

  • Create Linode ( POST /linode/instances)
  • Rebuild Linode ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/rebuild)
  • Create Managed Credential ( POST /managed/credentials)
  • Update Managed Credential Username and Password ( POST /managed/credentials/{credentialId}/update)
  • Create Disk ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/disks)
  • Reset Disk Root Password ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/disks/{diskId}/password)

• Updated the description for the Update Node Pool ( PUT /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/pools/{poolId}) endpoint. Now the description more accurately explains that nodes are created or deleted to match the updated count and that any local storage on deleted Linodes (such as “hostPath” and “emptyDir” volumes, or “local” PersistentVolumes) will be erased.

• Fixed a bug with domain validation where some multi-level domains were being flagged as invalid.

• Fixed a bug in CNAME record validation. It now checks all incoming CNAME records against all existing records (CNAME and otherwise) in this domain to make sure there are no conflicts. Relevant endpoints:

  • Create Domain Record ( POST /domains/{domainId}/records)
  • Update Domain Record ( PUT /domains/{domainId}/records/{recordId})

• Updated the OAuth Workflow section to include grant_type as a required parameter when using a refresh token.

• Switched the order of the name for the Initiate Pending Host Migration/DC Migration endpoint to Initiate DC Migration/Pending Host Migration to clear up any confusion about which part the word Pending applies. Pending refers only to the host migration and not to the data center migration. The POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/migrate endpoint itself remains unchanged.

• A disks field was added to the Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE) collection. This field allows you to define a custom disk layout for the nodes in a cluster’s Node Pool. A custom disk layout is only required for specific use cases. If this field is omitted, the nodes in a Node Pool will have a default disk layout consisting of a single partition. The disks field is available from the following endpoints:

  • Create Kubernetes Cluster ( POST /lke/clusters).
  • Create Node Pool ( POST /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/pools)
  • View Node Pool ( GET /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/pools/{poolId})

• When Listing Account Events ( GET /v4/account/events), you can now filter by its action field. See Filtering and Sorting to learn how to search API v4 collections.

• Added improved error handling for the ssl_cert and ssl_key fields in the NodeBalancer collection. Error messages will now explain if a provided key is in an incorrect format. These fields are available from the following endpoints:

  • Create Config ( POST /nodebalancers/{nodeBalancerId}/configs)

  • Update Config ( PUT /nodebalancers/{nodeBalancerId}/configs/{configId})

• The tag field for the Domain Record collection is now filterable. See Filtering and Sorting to learn how to search API v4 collections.

• A bug was fixed that allowed multiple Account Users to be created with the same username. This bug affected the Create User ( POST /account/users) and Update User ( PUT /account/users/{username}) endpoints.

• Combined the LKEClusterRequestBody into the LKECluster schema object and removed the LKEClusterRequestBody object within the APIv4 OpenAPI 3 reference. This change fixed some display issues on the Linode API Documentation website for the Linode Kubernetes Engine Endpoint collection.

• When creating an LKE Cluster ( POST /lke/clusters) or updating an LKE Cluster ( PUT /lke/clusters/{clusterId}), the label field supports valid Unicode outside of the ASCII table. Previously, the APIv4 reference listed the incorrect character limitations for this field.

• Added two new endpoints to the Longview collection that are dedicated to viewing and updating an account’s Longview plan:

  • View Longview Plan ( GET /longview-plan): returns the current Longview subscription plan for an account. Can be accessed by users with the longview:read_only grant.

  • Update Longview Plan ( GET /longview-plan): updates the Longview subscription plan for an account. Can be accessed by users with the account:read_write grant.

  Previously, these actions were only possible through the GET /account/settings and PUT /account/settings endpoints.

• Added two new endpoints to the Account collection that allow unrestricted users to see successful logins that are associated with any user on the account.

  • List All User Logins ( GET /account/logins): returns a collection of successful logins for all users on the account during the last 90 days.

  • View Login ( GET /account/logins/{loginId}): returns a Login object that displays information about a successful login. The logins that can be viewed can be for any user on the account, and are not limited to only the logins of the user that is accessing this API endpoint.

  Previously, each user (including unrestricted users) could only view logins for their own user (via the GET /profile/logins and GET /profile/logins/{loginId} endpoints).

• Previously, the secondary_entity property of nodebalancer_config_create, nodebalancer_config_update, and nodebalancer_config_delete events was not populated. It is now set to the relevant NodeBalancer Config.

  • The primary entity property for these events is set to the NodeBalancer that the relevant Config belongs to. This behavior is unchanged.

  • Review your Account’s Events with the List Events ( GET /account/events) endpoint.

  • Use the View Config ( GET /nodebalancers/{nodeBalancerId}/configs/{configId}) endpoint to review the Config from one of these events.

• The address field for Create Managed Service ( POST/managed/services) and Update Managed Service ( PUT /managed/services/{serviceId}) now accepts additional special characters for a service that is monitored by URL ("service_type" : "url").

• The Domains ( /domains) collection previously accepted values up to 255 for the weight property of a Record, while 65535 was the intended maximum. Values up to 65535 are now considered valid.

• The Domains ( /domains) collection previously returned a generic syntax error whenever a TXT Record was submitted with non-ASCII characters. It will now return a more specific validation error.

• A bug was fixed that was preventing restricted users with the appropriate access permissions for specific Linode services from adding Tags to those services.

• A bug was fixed that prevented the re-creation of Managed Service labels that had previously been deleted.
• A bug was fixed that prevented domain updates ( PUT /v4/domains/{domainID}) for pre-existing domains without specifying master_ips.

• In an effort to fight spam, Linode restricts outbound connections on ports 25, 465, and 587 on all Linodes for new accounts created after November 5th, 2019. This is not a new change; however, this note now appears on the Create Linode ( POST /linode/instances) endpoint.

• The upper limit for page_size can now be set to 500; the default remains 100. Refer to the Pagination section of the Linode API for details on advanced query options.

• A Linode’s CPU alert value defaults to 90% multiplied by its number of cores. This is not a new change; however, a note has been added to the Linode Instances group of endpoints.

• The managed_issue field was added to the Open Support Ticket endpoint ( POST /support/tickets).
  • This field designates if the Support ticket is in reference to a Managed Service.
  • You must have a Managed Service enabled to use this designation.
  • No ID attributes (i.e. linode_id, domain_id, etc.) should be provided with this request.

• A bug was fixed that was preventing initiation of scheduled, cross data center migrations.

• If your Cloud Manager profile’s authentication type is set to a Third-Party Authentication (TPA) method, password_keys can no longer be used as your lish_auth_method when updating your profile ( PUT /profile).

  • To view your Cloud Manager profile’s authentication_type field, send a request to the View Profile endpoint.

• Capital letters are now accepted for the check_path value when creating ( POST /nodebalancers/{nodeBalancerId}/configs) and updating ( PUT /nodebalancers/{nodeBalancerId}/configs/{configId}) your NodeBalancer Configs.

• When attempting to stage a PayPal payment ( POST /account/payments/paypal/execute) on an account that has been flagged for no charge, you will receive the following error message, This account cannot be charged.

• The Profile collection’s authentication_type field can now return a value of github when GitHub Third Party Authentication is enabled for your Profile.

  • Authentication types are chosen through Cloud Manager and authorized when logging into your account.

  Note this functionality is not yet available in Cloud Manager. See the Cloud Manager Changelog for the latest updates.

• Added the View Network Transfer (year/month) ( GET /linode/instances/{linodeId}/transfer/{year}/{month}) endpoint.

  • This endpoint returns a Linode’s inbound, outbound, and total public network transfer statistics for the specified year and month.

• A bug was fixed that was preventing Block Storage Volumes from successfully attaching to Linodes running Debian 10.

• Previously, uninvoiced balances were being calculated as slightly lower than their actual amount. This bug was fixed to correctly calculate uninvoiced balances.

  • You can view your account’s uninvoiced balance using the View Account endpoint ( GET /account).

• Additional logic was added to the Kubernetes collection to ensure that Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE) service account usernames are less likely to be non-unique.

• Added List Logins ( GET /profile/logins) endpoint. You may now return a 90 day history of successful account logins for the user making the request.

• Added the View Login ( GET /profile/logins/{loginId}) endpoint, providing the ability to gain additional information on individual logins from user.

• New Logins object which contains historical information pertaining to a user login.

• A bug existed which caused shared IP addresses to persist following Linode deletion. This bug has been fixed.

• The Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE) is out of Beta. All LKE endpoints now point to the /v4 server instead of the /v4beta server.

  • Note: All /v4 endpoints are available from the /v4beta server.

• The View Kubernetes API Endpoint (GET /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/api-endpoint) has been removed from the API in favor of the List Kubernetes API Endpoints ( GET /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/api-endpoints) endpoint.

• A bug was causing LKE nodes in the process of being deleted to still appear as part of an LKE node pool. This bug has been fixed.
  • You can view an LKE cluster’s node pools with the View Node Pool endpoint ( GET /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/pools/{poolId}).

• The following Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE) Beta Endpoints were added:

  • List Kubernetes API Endpoints ( GET /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/api-endpoints). This endpoint returns an array of Kubernetes API server endpoints for your LKE cluster.

• The View Kubernetes API Endpoint ( /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/api-endpoint) endpoint is now deprecated in favor of List Kubernetes API Endpoints ( GET /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/api-endpoints).

• The version property of an LKE cluster has been updated to be named k8s_version. This change affects the following endpoints:

  • List Kubernetes Clusters ( GET /lke/clusters)
  • Create Kubernetes Clusters ( POST /lke/clusters)
  • View Kubernetes Cluster ( GET /lke/clusters/{clusterId})

• An LKE cluster’s label, k8s_version, and region properties were incorrectly labeled as being filterable. These properties have been updated in the Linode API v4 schema to no longer display the filterable label.

• The id property of a Node in an LKE Node Pool was incorrectly documented as being of type number. This has been corrected and the property is now documented as being of type string.

  • You can view the id property of your Nodes in the response from the Create Node Pool, View Node Pool, and Update Node Pool endpoints.

• You can now add tags when creating an LKE cluster ( POST /lke/clusters). While the tags property existed before, the implementation logic has now been added to support adding tags to an LKE cluster.

• A tags property was added to the Update Kubernetes Cluster ( PUT /lke/clusters/{clusterId}) endpoint. You can now update or remove existing tags on your LKE clusters. The tags property accepts an array of tags to be applied to your LKE cluster for organizational purposes.

• The Images collection now contains the updated property. This property returns the date that the current Image was last updated.

• The StackScript collection’s deployments_total property is now filterable. See Filtering and Sorting to learn how to search API v4 collections.

• Validation has been included to prevent users from adding a credit card expiration year greater than 25 years from the current year. A user will now receive an Expiry too far in the future error message when this occurs. This bug fix affects the POST /account/credit-card expiry_year property.

• List Events ( GET /account/events) will now only return events from the last 90 days. You can still view an older event by its ID using the View Event ( GET /account/events/{eventId}) endpoint.

• The field authentication_type has been added to View Profile ( GET /profile) and Update Profile ( PUT /profile). authentication_type returns your account’s Cloud Manager authentication type. Currently, a user’s password (in conjunction with their username) is the only available authentication type.

• The name field for Create Domain Record ( POST /domains/{domainId}/records) and Update Domain Record ( PUT /domains/{domainId}/records/{recordId}) now accepts wildcards for Domain Records of type TXT.

• Logic was added to the Account collection to generate an Account Notification ( GET /account/notifications) when your account’s associated email address bounces ( GET /v4/account ) and when an account user’s email address bounces ( GET /account/users/{username}).

• The View Volume ( GET /volumes/{volumeId}) and List Volumes ( GET /volumes) endpoints now have a linode_label field. If a Volume is attached to a specific Linode, the label of that Linode will be returned by the linode_label field.

• Corrected the field for unit price in the List Invoice Items ( GET /account/invoices/{invoiceId}/items) endpoint. Previously, this field was listed as unitprice with type number. It is now correctly listed as unit_price with type string.

• When a Linode that was deployed from a StackScript is deleted, that StackScript’s deployments_active value should decrease. This property’s value was incorrectly reporting the number of active deployments for a StackScript. While this bug was addressed in a previous API release, additional work was completed to improve the previous fix.

• Changes were made to improve the performance of the List Networking Information ( GET /linode/instances/{linodeId}/ips) endpoint.

The previous API release was assigned version number 4.14.1, while this release is tagged 4.59.2. This is an intentional change to align with internal version numbering. Subsequent releases will continue following the semantic versioning specification.

• You can now create an Object Storage bucket ( POST /object-storage/buckets) in the Frankfurt, DE cluster region (eu-central-1).
  • To view all available Object Storage cluster regions, use the List Clusters ( GET /object-storage/clusters) endpoint.
• Added updated and created read-only fields to Domain Record objects.
  • Use the Domain Records collection to review your Domain Record objects.
• Added the List Object Storage Buckets in Cluster ( GET /object-storage/buckets/{clusterId}) endpoint.
  • This endpoint returns a list of buckets in a specific cluster that belong to the user’s Account.
• When cloning a Linode ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/clone), any tags existing on the source Linode will be cloned to the target Linode.

• When a Linode goes into maintenance mode its status field will now display stopped.
  • To view a Linode’s status, use the View Linode ( GET /linode/instances/{linodeId}) endpoint.
• When creating ( POST /linode/instances) or updating ( PUT /linode/instances) a Linode, its root_pass field must now also meet a password strength score requirement that is calculated internally by the API. If the strength requirement is not met, you will receive a Password does not meet strength requirement error.

• Previously, when creating a Linode ( POST /linode/instances) with a root password of 6 characters a `Password must be between 6 and 128 characters` error was returned. This bug has been fixed and the root_pass field will now accept a password of 6 characters.
• A bug has been fixed that was causing some Linode disk clones to fail ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/disks/{diskId}/clone).
• Previously, a bug allowed customers with an account balance of $0 to make a payment ( POST /account/payments) or stage a PayPal payment ( POST /account/payments/paypal) of less than $5 USD. This bug has been fixed. Now, a minimum payment of $5 USD is required for any account with a balance of $0 USD.

• Previously, when restoring from a backup ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/backups/{backupId}/restore) to a Linode that was smaller than the Linode that the backup was created for, disk space could be over allocated. A 400 error message was added to inform the user if they are attempting to restore a backup to a Linode that does not have enough unallocated space available, and over allocation caused by this bug is no longer possible.

• Added LKE node event lke_node_create to Event action list. See action information in the Event endpoints:
  • List Events ( GET /account/events)
  • View Event ( GET /account/events/{eventId})

• Updated the LKE Node Pool nodes array to return status information containing the node id, instance_id for the Linode if there is one, and node status. See the LKE Node Pool endpoints:
  • List Node Pools ( GET /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/pools)
  • Create Node Pool ( POST /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/pools)
  • View Node Pool ( GET /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/pools/{poolId})
  • Update Node Pool ( PUT /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/pools/{poolId})
  • Delete Node Pool ( DELETE /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/pools/{poolId})

• Previously, View Network Utilization ( GET /account/transfer/) did not include Object Storage outgoing network transfer in its network utilization for the current month. If you have the Linode Object Storage service enabled on your account, View Network Utilization will now include Object Storage’s outgoing network transfer in its total returned amount.
• When a Linode that was deployed from a StackScript is deleted, that StackScript’s deployments_active value should decrease. This property’s value was incorrectly reporting the number of active deployments for a StackScript. This has been corrected.
• Previously, after booting a Linode into rescue mode ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/rescue), when attempting to reboot your Linode ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/reboot), you would receive an error message, No bootable config found. This bug has been fixed and the Linode will reboot into the latest configuration profile that isn’t a rescue mode configuration profile.
• Restoring a Linode ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/backups/{backupId}/restore) from a backup that was still in its post-processing phase returned the error message “backup is not valid”. The error message has been updated to be more descriptive. Now, when you attempt to restore a Linode from a backup that is still post processing, the returned error message is “Backup is currently post-processing”.
• Iterated on a bug fix with migrations, clones, and host information. If the migration is a disk or a clone, the from_host is the disk. Users can see migration job information in the Event endpoints:
  • List Events ( GET /account/events)
  • View Event ( GET /account/events/{eventId})
• Fixed the url in the Close Support Ticket ( POST /support/tickets/{ticketId}/close) endpoint’s Request Sample shell curl example.

• Updated OAuth section with detailed private and public workflows.
• Updated Create Kubernetes Cluster ( POST /lke/clusters) endpoint to include multiple node pools in the CLI code example.
  • Argument order is imperative. The arguments must be in sequential order --node_pools.type [type] followed by --node_pools.count [count] for each node pool.
  • You may add one or more node pool to each cluster.

• Fixed a bug with migrations and host information. If the migration is a disk, the from_host is the disk, if it’s a clone, the from_host is the Linode. Users can see migration job information in the event endpoints:
  • List Events ( GET /account/events)
  • View Event ( GET /account/events/{eventId})
• +and, +or, and +order_by filters for tags are now working.
• Longview will now retain more than 12 hours of statistics for users with the Pro plan.
• The List Networking Information ( GET /linode/instances/{linodeId}/ips) endpoint has been updated to only output IPv6 addresses for the specified Linode instead of all the IPv6 addresses for the customer.

• Removed edit_mode as an option for a Domain’s status property.
  • Use the /domains collection to review your account’s domains.
• Object Storage is out of Beta. All Object Storage endpoints now point to the /v4 server instead of the /v4beta server.

• When a restricted user with the add_longview grant creates a Longview client, that user should have read_write permissions on the new client.
  • The API correctly grants this permission, and so a user could make successful Update Longview Client ( PUT /longview/clients/{clientId}) endpoint requests for the new client.
  • However, the API would incorrectly report that the user had read_only permissions for that Longview client when viewed with the View User’s Grants ( GET /account/users/{username}/grants) endpoint.
  • This has been corrected, and this endpoint will now report read_write permissions for the new client.
• Fixed an issue where the duration of an Event with a status of failed would indefinitely increase.
• Fixed an issue where Isle of Man’s country code was rejected by the Update Account ( PUT /account) endpoint.
• Updates to Domains:
  • Resolved an issue when importing domains which caused server errors for the API.
  • Previously, the API would only check if a CNAME for a Domain was unique among all of that Domain’s CNAME records. The API will now check to make sure that a CNAME has a name that is unique among all of a Domain’s records.
  • Use the /domains collection to review your account’s domains. Use the Import Domain ( POST /domains/import) to import domains with the API.
• Previously, the last_successful property of a Linode’s backups property was documented as returning None if no backup had been completed for that Linode. The API actually returns null under this circumstance, and the documentation has been updated to reflect this.
  • Use the List Linodes ( GET /linode/instances) endpoint to list all of your Linodes, and use the View Linode ( GET /linode/instances/{instanceID}) endpoint to view a single Linode.
• Updates to Invoices and InvoiceItems:
  • The API was inappropriately rounding the unitprice on InvoiceItems for certain Linode products. For example, the API would report .01 for the unitprice of an InvoiceItem for a Nanode, while the hourly cost of a Nanode is .0075. This issue did not affect the actual amount billed to a customer.
  • The unitprice, amount, tax, and total properties of an InvoiceItem and the subtotal, tax, and total properties of an Invoice were previously documented as having the type integer, but the API accepted and returned numbers with decimal points. The documentation for these types now list these properties as having the type number.
  • Removed prepay as an option for the type of an InvoiceItem in the API documentation. Prepaid billing reached end of life in March of 2019.
  • Use the List Invoices ( GET /account/invoices), View Invoice ( GET /account/invoices/{invoiceId}), and List Invoice Items ( GET /account/invoices/{invoiceId}/items) endpoints to review your Invoices and InvoiceItems.

• The View Account ( GET /account) and the Update Account ( PUT /account) endpoints have been updated to include a new field euuid. This field is an external unique identifier for this customer.
• The following endpoints have the new field last_successful added to the backups envelope within the Linode object. This field is the date and time of the last successful backup if there was one. If there was no backup, ’null’ is shown.
  • List Linodes ( GET /linode/instances)
  • Create Linode ( POST /linode/instances)
  • View Linode ( GET /linode/instances/{linodeId})
  • Update Linode ( PUT /linode/instances/{linodeId})
  • Rebuild Linode ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/rebuild)
• Added end of life to image endpoints. This displays the image’s distribution’s planned end of life. This eol response parameter has been added to the following endpoints:
  • List Images ( GET /images)
  • Create Image ( POST /images)
  • View Image ( (GET /images/{imageId}))
  • Update Image ( (PUT /images/{imageId}))

• Added the status property to List Regions ( GET /regions) and View Region ( GET /regions/{regionId}). The status property returns a region’s current operational status.

• A linode_config_create, linode_config_delete, linode_config_update, disk_create, disk_update Event action can now generate a secondary_entity object. A secondary_entity object displays information about an additional entity that is related to the Event.

  • Refer to the List Events ( GET /account/events) and View Event ( GET /account/events/{eventId}) endpoints to review your Events.

• When creating or updating a Domain Record of type SRV, the target field now accepts a value of .. By setting the target of an SRV record to ., you can indicate that a particular service is not supported at a particular domain. See RFC 6186, section 3.4 for details on this usage.

• You can now use the +order_by operator to filter by region when Listing Linodes ( GET /linode/instances). Previously, this would result in an unable to apply filter error.

• Added convenience Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE) Beta Endpoints for the private beta program.

Note: These endpoints are prepended with /v4beta instead of /v4.

• List Kubernetes Clusters ( GET /lke/clusters)

• Create Kubernetes Cluster ( POST /lke/clusters)

• View Kubernetes Cluster ( GET /lke/clusters/{clusterId})

• Update Kubernetes Cluster ( PUT /lke/clusters/{clusterId})

• Delete Kubernetes Cluster ( DELETE /lke/clusters/{clusterId})

• List Node Pools ( GET /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/pools)

• Create Node Pool ( POST /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/pools)

• View Node Pool ( GET /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/pools/{poolId})

• Update Node Pool ( PUT /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/pools/{poolId})

• Delete Node Pool ( DELETE /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/pools/{poolId})

• View Kubernetes API Endpoint ( GET /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/api-endpoint)

• View Kubeconfig ( GET /lke/clusters/{clusterId}/kubeconfig)

• List Kubernetes Versions ( GET /lke/versions)

• View Kubernetes Version ( GET /lke/versions/{version})

• A disk_imagize Event action can now generate a secondary_entity object. The secondary_entity object related to this event will display information about the image.

  • Refer to the List Events ( GET /account/events) and View Event ( GET /account/events/{eventId}) endpoints to review your Events.

• Added property route_target to List IPv6 Pools( GET /networking/ipv6/pools) endpoint.

• Improved error message for the Update IP Address RDNS ( PUT /networking/ips/{address}) endpoint.

• Users will now receive a 200 response when using the Open Support Ticket ( POST /support/tickets) endpoint even if the domain associated with it has the status has_errors.

• The List Notifications ( GET /account/notifications) endpoint now returns the correct data for the when property for scheduled maintenance/migration notifications.

• Fixed an issue where users could not enable backups on newly resized Linodes.

  • See the Enable Backups ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/backups/enable) endpoint to enable backups for your Linode.

• Added the Cancel Object Storage ( POST /object-storage/cancel) endpoint.
  • This endpoint allows you to remove Object Storage from an Account. All buckets must be empty in order to use this endpoint.
• Added the duration property to Events, which represents the total duration in seconds that it takes for an Event to complete. Use the List Events ( GET /account/events) and View Event ( GET /account/events/{eventId}) endpoints to review your Account’s Events.
• The View Account Settings ( GET /account/settings) endpoint has been updated to include the status of an Account’s Object Storage service. The possible values for this status are disabled, suspended, and active.

• China UnionPay credit card numbers are now accepted as valid by the Add/Edit Credit Card ( POST /account/credit-card) endpoint.
• When a Support Ticket is updated, email notifications are sent to customers for those updates. Previously, an email was sent for every Ticket update, including any submitted by the customer. Now, only Ticket updates from Linode Support will prompt an email.

• Calls to the Update User Preferences ( GET /profile/preferences) endpoint were returning an HTTP 500 error. This error has been resolved, and user preferences will now be saved as expected.
• Domains under the .rio.br second-level domain are now accepted as valid. Domains can be entered with the Create Domain ( POST /domains), Update Domain ( PUT /domains/{domainId}), or Import Domain ( POST /domains/import) endpoints.
• Fixed an issue where a restricted User with read-only permissions on an Account’s private StackScript could view that StackScript but could not deploy a Linode with it. The restricted User will now be able to deploy the StackScript.
  • Use the List StackScripts ( GET /linode/stackscripts) and View StackScript ( GET /stackscripts/{stackscriptId}) endpoints to review your StackScripts.

• Added the tfa_enabled property to the /account/users endpoint collection. This property returns a boolean value indicating if the User has Two Factor Authentication (TFA) enabled. See the Create Two Factor Secret ( POST /profile/tfa-enable) endpoint to enable TFA.
• Added the upgrade property to the Initiate Pending Host Migration/DC Migration ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/migrate) endpoint
• The secondary_entity property of a disk_delete Event will now be populated with the disk that has been deleted. This property was not previously assigned a value. The primary entity property for a disk_delete Event is associated with the Linode that the disk was deleted from.
  • Refer to the List Events ( GET /account/events) and View Event ( GET /account/events/{eventId}) endpoints to review your Events.

• Changed how Notifications for promotional credits are generated:
  • For expiring promotional credits, a Notification was only generated when the promotion was within 7 days of expiring and when 90% of the credit had been used. This Notification would be of type promotion.
  • Now, two different Notifications are generated:
    • A Notification of type promo_expiration will be generated when the promotion is within 7 days of its expiration date.
    • A Notification of type promo_credit_limit will be generated when 90% or more of the promotion’s credit has been used.
  • Notifications of type promotion will no longer be generated.
  • Refer to the List Notifications ( GET /account/notifications) endpoint to view your account’s notifications. Refer to the active_promotions property in the response from the View Account ( GET /account) endpoint for details of your current promotions.

• Improved the error response messages of the Initiate Pending Host Migration/DC Migration ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/migrate) endpoint:
  • This endpoint will return an error when called when both of these conditions are true:
    • The Linode has a /116 IPv6 pool, or IP Sharing is enabled.
    • An NGN data center was specified for the region property.
  • Previously, the error message returned when a /116 pool caused the migration to fail would state that IP Sharing was enabled, which may not have been the case.
  • The endpoint will now return a different error message when a /116 IPv6 pool is present.
• Support Tickets returned by the List Support Tickets ( GET /support/tickets) endpoint can now be sorted by the closed, opened, and updated properties of a Ticket. This was the intended behavior, but specifying a sorting was not previously honored in the response.
• In rare circumstances, a Linode may exist without an Invoice Item that corresponds to it. If the Initiate Pending Host Migration/DC Migration ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/migrate) endpoint was called on a Linode under these circumstances, the endpoint would return an error. This error will no longer appear, and the migration will proceed normally (or fail for any other reasons listed in the endpoint’s documentation).
• The Import Domain ( POST /domains/import) endpoint would sometimes return a 400 error code when a server error had occurred. A 500 error code will now be returned instead, which is in line with our API’s guidance on error codes.

• Removed force query parameter from DELETE /object-storage/buckets/{clusterId}/{bucket} endpoint.

• Removed objects, size, and region parameters from GET /object-storage/buckets and GET /object-storage/buckets/{clusterId}/{bucket} endpoints.

• A linode_reboot Event action can now generate a secondary_entity object. A secondary_entity object displays information about an additional entity that is related to the Event.

  • Use the Accounts collection to List Events GET /account/events or to View an Event GET /account/events/{eventId}.

• The List Managed Stats endpoint GET managed/stats returns a list of Managed Stats on your Account in the form of x and y data points. You can use these data points to plot your own graph visualizations. These stats reflect the last 24 hours of combined usage across all managed Linodes on your account giving you a high-level snapshot of data for cpu, disk, swap, network in, and network out.

• Fixed a formatting error that prevented the filtering and sorting examples within the API documentation from correctly working as presented.

• Fixed an issue that allowed Linodes with IPv6 /116 pools to attempt to migrate to Next Generation Network (NGN) enabled data centers like Toronto and Mumbai. IPv6 /116 pools are not supported by NGN data centers, so these migrations would never actually progress. A Linode with IPv6 /116 pools will now be prevented from initiating a migration to an NGN data center, and the user will be prompted to contact support.

• Added the Enable Linode Managed ( POST /account/settings/managed-enable) endpoint to Account.
  • This endpoint enables Linode Managed for the entire account and sends a welcome email to the account’s associated email address.
  • Linode Managed is an incident response service that can monitor any software stack or service reachable over TCP or HTTP.

• The List Notifications endpoint ( GET /account/notifications) now provides more detailed information when a pending host migration or DC migration ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/migrate) for a Linode is initiated. This information includes:

  • How many Linodes are in the queue ahead of your Linode. The Linode’s position is dynamically generated, so if the notification is retrieved at an interval, it is always up-to-date.

• The convenience endpoint List Object Storage Bucket Contents ([GET /object-storage/buckets/{clusterId}/{bucket}/object-list] (/docs/api/object-storage/#object-storage-bucket-contents-list)) now returns two new parameters to help with pagination:

  • is_truncated, a boolean which is true if there is another page of objects and
  • next_marker, a string value to pass to the marker query parameter to get the next page of objects.

• Previously, when restoring a Linode from a backup ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/backups/{backupId}/restore) with overwrite:true, some disks on the Linode were not properly deleted. This bug has been fixed. Additionally, the check to determine if the Linode has enough free disk space during a backup restore has been improved.

• The List Support Tickets endpoint ( GET /support/tickets) will now properly honor the order_by and x-filter query parameters.

• Added a secondary_entity property to the GET /account/events and GET /account/events/{eventId} endpoints. A secondary_entity object displays information about an additional entity that is related to the Event. Currently, the linode_boot, linode_create, and linode_clone Event actions can generate a secondary_entity object.

• Added convenience Object Storage beta endpoints for the Early Access Program. It is recommended to use the more fully-featured S3 API directly instead of these endpoints. Note: these endpoints are prepended with /v4beta instead of /v4.

  • List Object Storage Buckets ( GET /object-storage/buckets)
  • Create Object Storage Bucket ( POST /object-storage/buckets)
  • View Object Storage Bucket ( GET /object-storage/buckets/{clusterId}/{bucket})
  • Remove Object Storage Bucket ( DELETE /object-storage/buckets/{clusterId}/{bucket})
  • Modify Object Storage Bucket Access ( POST /object-storage/buckets/{clusterId}/{bucket}/access)
  • List Object Storage Bucket Contents ( GET /object-storage/buckets/{clusterId}/{bucket}/object-list)
  • Create Object Storage Object URL ( POST /object-storage/buckets/{clusterId}/{bucket}/object-url)

• The group property of the Managed Contacts ( /managed/contacts) resource is no longer deprecated.
• The consultation_group property of the Managed Services ( /managed/services) resource is no longer deprecated.

• Previously, you could initiate a cross data center (DC) migration ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/migrate) even if the Linode already had a pending migration in the queue. Now, if your Linode has a pending migration already queued, you will not be able to initiate a DC migration until it has completed and you will receive an error response, “Linode has a pending migration.” A list of pending migrations, if any, can be accessed from GET /account/notifications.

• Validation to ensure a running Linode is powered down prior to initiating a cross data center (DC) migration ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/migrate) was removed. This validation is unnecessary because a Linode is automatically powered off, migrated, and then restored to its previous boot state when any Linode migration is initiated.

• The group property of a managed contacts resource can now be updated ( PUT /managed/contacts/{contactId}) with a null value. Previous PUT validation generated an error when the group property was updated with a null value.

• When updating ( PUT /linode/stackscripts/{stackscriptId}) a StackScripts resource, the images property no longer accepts an empty array. Previously, there was no validation in place to prevent an empty images property array. This caused a StackScript to no longer be deployable.

• When listing Managed Services ( GET /managed/services) on a managed account, removed services no longer appear in the response data.

• A Managed Credential now correctly maps to a Managed Service. Previously, when you created ( POST /managed/services) or updated ( PUT /managed/services/{serviceId}) a Managed Service with a credentials parameter, its Managed Credential Ids did not appropriately map to the service. This resulted in an empty credentials array when listing ( GET /managed/services) or viewing ( GET /managed/services/{serviceId}) a Managed Service.

• Added the Update Managed Credential Username and Password ( POST /managed/credentials/{credentialId}/update) endpoint.

• The maximum credit card payment that can be made with the Make Payment ( POST /account/payments) endpoint is $50,000. This value has not changed, but previously this endpoint would return an HTTP 500 error for payments over this amount. If a payment is attempted with this endpoint that exceeds this limit, an HTTP 400 error with a descriptive error message will now be returned.

• The number of concurrent clone operations for any given Linode is now limited to five clones. If a call to the Clone Linode ( POST /linode/instances/{linodeId}/clone) endpoint would result in a sixth concurrent clone of a Linode, then the endpoint will return an HTTP 400 error with a descriptive error message.

• Previously, the access boolean of the ssh property of a Linode’s Managed Settings would display true whenever Managed SSH access was disabled for the Linode, and false when it was enabled, contrary to the naming of the property. This property is returned by the List Managed Linode Settings ( GET /managed/linode-settings) and View Linode’s Managed Settings ( GET /managed/linode-settings/{linodeId}) endpoints. This property will now correctly display true when Managed SSH access is enabled and false when Managed SSH access is disabled.

  Similarly, setting this property to true via the Update Linode’s Managed Settings ( PUT /managed/linode-settings/{linodeId}) endpoint would result in Managed SSH access for the Linode being disabled, and setting it to false would result in Managed SSH access being enabled. This behavior is now reversed to align with the naming of the property.

• Added the active_promotions property to Accounts, as returned by the View Account ( GET /account)) endpoint. This property lists all active promotions on your account.

  Promotions generally offer a set amount of credit that can be used toward your Linode services, and the promotion expires after a specified date. Simply put, a monthly cap on the promotional offer is set. In other words, a promotion offers a certain amount of credit every month, until either the expiration date is passed, or until the total promotional credit is used, whichever comes first.

• Added promotion to the types of Notifications that can be returned by the List Notifications ( GET /account/notifications) endpoint.

• Added a new View Managed SSH Key ( GET /managed/credentials/sshkey) endpoint. This endpoint returns the unique SSH public key assigned to your Linode account’s Managed service. If you add this public key to a Linode on your account, Linode special forces will be able to log in to the Linode with this key when attempting to resolve issues.

• Added additional filtering for Events. Events returned by the List Events ( GET /account/events) endpoint can be filtered by an Event entity’s id and type.

  There are a few edge cases when filtering Events by entity ID:

  • Some Event entities do not have IDs associated with them, so they will not be returned when filtering by ID. These include the various account and profile Events.

  • Entities for some Events are assigned the ID of the Linode they correspond to. When filtering by ID for these Events, use the corresponding Linode’s ID. These include the disk and backups Events.

  • Tag Events use a tag’s name for the entity ID field. When filtering by ID for tag Events, supply the name of the tag.

• Domain labels can no longer exceed 63 characters. The regular expression that validates new labels has been updated to conform to RFC1035.

• Default CPU alert thresholds for the Create Linode ( POST /linode/instances) endpoint have been updated. Previously, the default threshold was always set to 90%, regardless of which plan was chosen. This default has been increased to 90% multiplied by the number of cores for a Linode’s plan.

  This increase was made because a Linode’s total CPU capacity is represented as 100%, multiplied by its number of cores. For example, a two core Linode’s CPU capacity is represented as 200%. Therefore, an alert that triggers at 90% of a two core Linode’s CPU capacity should be set to 180%.

• Complex filtering for region labels was not returning expected results, and this has been fixed.

• Added Personal Access Token event actions to the List Events endpoint ( GET /account/events) and View Event endpoint ( GET /account/events/:event_id).

• The entity field for an account_update event is now populated; it was previously null. Events are returned by the List Events ( GET /account/events) and View Event ( GET /account/events/:event_id) endpoints.

• Calling the Update Profile endpoint ( PUT /profile) without specifying an email in your request could previously trigger a notification email. This notification’s message stated that your email address had been updated, even though it was not changed. This will no longer occur.

• Previously, if the Create Disk ( POST /linode/instances/:linode_id/disks) or Create Linode ( POST /linode/instances) endpoints were called with a custom image and with a list for the authorized_users field, then those authorized users’ keys were not configured for the root user of the new disk or Linode.
