List of API functions

This section briefly describes the main functions of the API for the OVHcloud Load Balancer under /ipLoadbalancing.

For a comprehensive reference to the API functions of the OVHcloud Load Balancer service, please consult this detailed guide.

The Frontends, Farms and Servers are specific to the protocol (HTTP, TCP or UDP) in which they are defined. Compatibility between these components is only possible within the same protocol. For example, an HTTP Frontend can only be paired with an HTTP Farm, and cannot be used with a UDP Farm.

Each category that falls under Frontend, Farm and Server management consists of 3 API functions, one for each protocol (HTTP, TCP or UDP). You must execute the API function that corresponds to the specific protocol of the desired service.
