Path parameters
-
Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies your project. Use the /groups endpoint to retrieve all projects to which the authenticated user has access.
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.
Format should match the following pattern:
^([a-f0-9]{24})$. -
Human-readable label that identifies the cluster.
Format should match the following pattern:
^[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-]*$.
Query parameters
-
Flag that indicates whether Application wraps the response in an

false.
