Tools

• hetzner_change_server_protection ~186 tokens
  Turn deletion and rebuild protection on or off for a server. Turning protection ON is the safest write in this server. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/change_protection.
• hetzner_create_image_from_server ~210 tokens
  Create a snapshot image from a server's disk — the safe thing to do BEFORE a risky change. Snapshots are billed for the space they use. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/create_image.
• hetzner_create_server ~376 tokens
  Provision a new server. THIS STARTS BILLING: the chosen server type is charged by the hour from the moment it boots. Call hetzner_list_server_types first to see prices, and hetzner_list_images for a bootable image. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers.
• hetzner_disable_server_backup ~128 tokens
  Turn off automatic backups for a server. Existing backups are DELETED. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/disable_backup.
• hetzner_enable_server_backup ~130 tokens
  Turn on automatic backups for a server. This adds roughly 20% to the server's price. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/enable_backup.
• hetzner_get_action ~138 tokens
  Fetch the status of one asynchronous action. Every write tool here returns an action id — poll it with this to see whether the operation finished. Hetzner Cloud: GET /actions/{id}.
• hetzner_get_certificates ~105 tokens
  Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /certificates/{id}.
• hetzner_get_firewalls ~103 tokens
  Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /firewalls/{id}.
• hetzner_get_floating_ips ~105 tokens
  Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /floating_ips/{id}.
• hetzner_get_load_balancers ~106 tokens
  Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /load_balancers/{id}.
• hetzner_get_networks ~103 tokens
  Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /networks/{id}.
• hetzner_get_pricing ~89 tokens
  Fetch the full price list for the project's currency — server types, volumes, traffic, floating IPs, load balancers and backups. Hetzner Cloud: GET /pricing.
• hetzner_get_primary_ips ~104 tokens
  Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /primary_ips/{id}.
• hetzner_get_server ~122 tokens
  Fetch a single server with its type, image, IPs, volumes, networks and protection flags. Hetzner Cloud: GET /servers/{id}.
• hetzner_get_server_metrics ~231 tokens
  Fetch CPU, disk or network time series for one server over a window. Hetzner Cloud: GET /servers/{id}/metrics.
• hetzner_get_ssh_keys ~103 tokens
  Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /ssh_keys/{id}.
• hetzner_get_volumes ~102 tokens
  Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /volumes/{id}.
• hetzner_list_certificates ~184 tokens
  List TLS certificates, managed or uploaded, and their expiry. Hetzner Cloud: GET /certificates.
• hetzner_list_firewalls ~184 tokens
  List firewalls, their rules and which resources they are applied to. Hetzner Cloud: GET /firewalls.
• hetzner_list_floating_ips ~182 tokens
  List floating IPs and which server each is assigned to. Hetzner Cloud: GET /floating_ips.
• hetzner_list_images ~248 tokens
  List OS images, snapshots and backups you can boot or restore from. Hetzner Cloud: GET /images.
• hetzner_list_load_balancers ~186 tokens
  List load balancers, their services, targets and health status. Hetzner Cloud: GET /load_balancers.
• hetzner_list_locations ~101 tokens
  List the datacentre locations (city, country, network zone) servers can run in. Hetzner Cloud: GET /locations.
• hetzner_list_networks ~181 tokens
  List private networks, their IP ranges, subnets and routes. Hetzner Cloud: GET /networks.
• hetzner_list_primary_ips ~177 tokens
  List primary IPs and their assignments. Hetzner Cloud: GET /primary_ips.
• hetzner_list_server_types ~170 tokens
  List the available server types with their cores, memory, disk and hourly and monthly prices — read this before creating a server. Hetzner Cloud: GET /server_types.
• hetzner_list_servers ~244 tokens
  List the servers in the token's project, optionally filtered by name, status or a label selector. Hetzner Cloud: GET /servers.
• hetzner_list_ssh_keys ~184 tokens
  List the SSH public keys available to inject when creating a server. Hetzner Cloud: GET /ssh_keys.
• hetzner_list_volumes ~186 tokens
  List block-storage volumes, their size and which server they are attached to. Hetzner Cloud: GET /volumes.
• hetzner_poweron_server ~125 tokens
  Power on a stopped server. Returns an action id — poll it with hetzner_get_action. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/poweron.
• hetzner_reboot_server ~112 tokens
  Reboot a server gracefully via ACPI. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/reboot.
• hetzner_shutdown_server ~150 tokens
  Ask the guest OS to shut down gracefully via ACPI. Prefer this over a hard power-off. Note that a stopped server still costs money — only deleting it stops the bill. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/shutdown.
