Required Roles

Your API Key must have the Organization Owner or Project Owner role to successfully call this resource.

Request

Base URL: https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/atlas/v1.0

POST /groups/{groupId}/serverless

Request Path Parameters

Name	Type	Necessity	Description
groupId	String	Required	Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the target project for your new serverless instance.

Request Query Parameters

This endpoint might use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas Administration API resources. All of these are optional.

Name

Type

Necessity

Description

Default

pretty

boolean

Optional

Flag indicating whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format.

false

envelope

boolean

Optional

Flag indicating if Atlas should wrap the response in a JSON envelope.

This option may be needed for some API clients. These clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query.

For endpoints that return one result, the response body includes:


status	HTTP response code
envelope	Expected response body

false

Request Body Parameters

Name	Type	Necessity	Description
name	string	Required	Human-readable label that identifies the serverless instance.
providerSettings	object	Required	Group of settings that configure the provisioned MongoDB database.
providerSettings.backingProviderName	string	Required	Cloud service provider on which MongoDB Cloud provisions the serverless instance.
providerSettings.providerName	string	Required	This value must be the string literal `SERVERLESS`.
providerSettings.regionName	string	Required	Human-readable label that identifies the physical location of your MongoDB serverless instance. The region you choose can affect network latency for clients accessing your databases.

connectionStrings.standardSrv	string	Public `mongodb+srv://` connection string that you can use to connect to this serverless instance.
createDate	string	Timestamp that indicates when MongoDB Cloud created the serverless instance. The timestamp displays in the ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC.
groupId	string	Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the project that contains the serverless instance.
id	string	Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the serverless instance.
mongoDBVersion	string	Version of MongoDB that the serverless instance runs, in `<major version>.<minor version>` format.
name	string	Human-readable label that identifies the serverless instance.
providerSettings	object	Group of settings that configure the provisioned MongoDB database.
providerSettings.backingProviderName	string	Cloud service provider on which MongoDB Cloud provisioned the serverless instance.
providerSettings.providerName	string	This value will always be the string literal `SERVERLESS`.
providerSettings.regionName	string	Human-readable label that identifies the physical location of your MongoDB serverless instance. The region you choose can affect network latency for clients accessing your databases.
stateName	string	Stage of deployment of this serverless instance when the resource made its request.
