List All Block Storage Volumes
get/v2/volumes

To list all of the block storage volumes available on your account, send a GET request to /v2/volumes.

Filtering Results

By Region

The region may be provided as query parameter in order to restrict results to volumes available in a specific region. For example: /v2/volumes?region=nyc1

By Name

It is also possible to list volumes on your account that match a specified name. To do so, send a GET request with the volume's name as a query parameter to /v2/volumes?name=$VOLUME_NAME. Note: You can only create one volume per region with the same name.

By Name and Region

It is also possible to retrieve information about a block storage volume by name. To do so, send a GET request with the volume's name and the region slug for the region it is located in as query parameters to /v2/volumes?name=$VOLUME_NAME&region=nyc1.
