Atlas Administration API Resources¶

Important

Each Atlas API has its own resources and requires initial setup. The Data API also uses different access keys from the Atlas Administration API and the Realm Admin API.

To learn more, see APIs.

Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the same as your project ID. For existing groups, your group/project ID remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the term groups.

The Atlas Administration API provides the resources listed here. The resources give programmatic access to Atlas's features. For information on the API's principles and conventions, see API.

The Atlas Administration API provides the following resources:

Invoices	Retrieve invoices for any given Atlas organization.
Projects	Retrieves or creates projects in any given Atlas organization.
Teams	Retrieves, creates, edits, or deletes teams for any given Atlas organization.
Clusters	Create, retrieve, update, or delete a cluster in a given Atlas project. Retrieve or update advanced cluster options for a cluster in a given Atlas project.

Cloud Backup Backup Policy	View and modify the snapshot schedule and retention settings for an Atlas cluster with Cloud Backups enabled.
Cloud Backup Snapshot Export	Create, retrieve, and delete snapshot export buckets and export jobs for an Atlas cluster with Cloud Backups enabled.
Shared-Tier Snapshots	View backup snapshots for an `M2` or `M5` shared cluster.
Shared-Tier Restore Jobs	View and create restore jobs from an `M2` or `M5` shared cluster.
Legacy Backup Checkpoints	Retrieve checkpoints metadata. Checkpoints are additional restore points for sharded clusters at points in time between regular snapshots.
Network Peering	API for managing VPC peering.

Programmatic API Keys	API for managing programmatic API keys.
Monitoring and Logs	Retrieve monitoring and logging data for MongoDB processes in a Atlas project.
Query Analysis	Retrieve existing and suggested indexes for a deployment, as well as the namespaces on which slow queries were run and the queries that were slow. To learn about monitoring slow queries, see the Performance Advisor monitoring page.
