Acting on Tagged Droplets
gpu_droplets.actions.bulk_initiate(ActionBulkInitiateParams**kwargs) -> ActionBulkInitiateResponse
post/v2/droplets/actions

Some actions can be performed in bulk on tagged Droplets. The actions can be initiated by sending a POST to /v2/droplets/actions?tag_name=$TAG_NAME with the action arguments.

Only a sub-set of action types are supported:

  • power_cycle
  • power_on
  • power_off
  • shutdown
  • enable_ipv6
  • enable_backups
  • disable_backups
  • snapshot (also requires image:create permission)
