Introduction
The IBM Cloud® Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Identity API provides methods through the VPC Metadata service to retrieve resources, such as certificates and access tokens for the calling identity. Tokens eliminate the risk of accidental exposure of API keys, passwords, and long-lived access tokens used by automation on bare metal servers. The Identity API includes support for virtual server instances and bare metal servers.
You can generate an IAM token from an identity token to gain access to virtual server instances or bare metal servers. If an IBM Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) trusted profile is used to establish a trust relationship with the virtual server instance, the Identity API provides the ability for the virtual server instance to get access tokens for other IAM-enabled cloud services, such as API Connect, Event Streams, Secrets Manager, and Cloud Object Storage.
Endpoint URLs
Access to the VPC Metadata service is disabled on bare metal servers and virtual server instances by default. You can enable the Metadata service when creating or updating an instance or when creating or updating a bare metal server.
The Metadata service can be accessed from within the virtual server instance or bare metal server using an endpoint URL:
- When the
metadata_service.protocolproperty ishttp(unencrypted), the endpoint URL may contain either the service's IP addresshttp://169.254.169.254or the service's hostnamehttp://api.metadata.cloud.ibm.com. - When the
metadata_service.protocolproperty ishttps, the endpoint URL must contain the service's hostnamehttps://api.metadata.cloud.ibm.com.
You cannot configure the metadata service with both http and https protocols at the same time.
When the metadata_service.enabled property is false, the Metadata API is not available. Requests
sent to any of the endpoint URLs will receive no response.
This example stores the metadata service's hostname api.metadata.cloud.ibm.com in a
vpc_identity_api_endpoint variable.
vpc_identity_api_endpoint=http://api.metadata.cloud.ibm.com
Authentication
To start an authenticated session, create an identity token and pass that token to the create identity certificate method. Alternatively, you can pass that token to the create IAM token method, and then use that token to access IAM-enabled services. Access to the VPC Metadata service API is inaccessible from outside virtual server instances or bare metal servers. For more information, see Configure the metadata service and the examples on this page.
A session lasts for the lifetime of the token, during which the service can be called. You can reuse a single access token for multiple API requests, as long as the token has not expired.
These examples use jq as a parser, a third-party tool licensed under the MIT
license. You might need to install jq. Alternatively,
use any parser of your choice.
Consider storing the metadata endpoint in a variable. For more information, see Configure the metadata service.
This example extracts the access token value and places it in the identity_token
environment variable.
identity_token=`curl -X PUT "$vpc_identity_api_endpoint/identity/v1/token?version=2025-08-26&generation=2" -H "Metadata-Flavor: ibm" -H "Accept: application/json" -d '{ "expires_in": 300 }' | jq -r '(.access_token)'`
Example response from the previous request:
{
"access_token": "eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6IlZTSS1DUl91cy1lYXN0X2I5MmI0YzAxNWJhOTc4NzgiLCJ....",
"created_at": "2025-08-26:08:39.363Z",
"expires_at": "2025-08-26:13:39.363Z",
"expires_in": 300
}
Pass the access token in the Authorization header to authenticate Metadata requests. Tokens
authenticate requests without embedding service credentials in every request. See the methods in
this API reference for examples using $identity_token.
This example uses the identity_token environment variable from the previous example to
create an IAM token associated with the specified trusted profile ID. Upon success, provide the
iam_token environment variable when calling any IAM-enabled IBM service to perform operations
using the authorizations granted to that trusted profile. Learn more about Creating trusted
profiles.
iam_token=`curl -X POST "$vpc_identity_api_endpoint/identity/v1/iam_tokens?version=2025-08-26&generation=2" -H "Authorization: Bearer $identity_token" -d '{
"trusted_profile": {
"id": "Profile-8dd84246-7df4-4667-94e4-8cede51d5ac5"
}
}' | jq -r '(.access_token)'`
Auditing
IBM Cloud services, such as IBM Cloud VPC, generate activity tracking events. Activity tracking events report on activities that change the state of resources in IBM Cloud and also report on certain activities that do not change any state, such as attempts to access and update resources. You can use the events to investigate abnormal activity and critical actions and to comply with regulatory audit requirements.
Monitor API activity within your account by using IBM Cloud Activity Tracker Event Routing, a platform service, to route auditing events to destinations of your choice. Configure targets and routes that define where activity tracking events are sent. Each time you make an API request, one or more events are generated that you can track and audit from within the Activity Tracker Event Routing service. Specific auditing event types are listed for each individual method. For more information, see About IBM Cloud Activity Tracker Event Routing and Activity tracking events for IBM Cloud VPC.
You can also use IBM Cloud Logs to visualize and alert on events that are generated in your account and routed by IBM Cloud Activity Tracker Event Routing to an IBM Cloud Logs instance. For more information, see Getting started with IBM Cloud Logs.
Error handling
This API uses standard HTTP response codes to indicate the outcome of a request. A 2xx-series
response indicates success. A 4xx-series response indicates a failure that the client must
resolve. A 5xx-series response indicates a service failure.
| HTTP error code | Description | Disposition |
|---|---|---|
200 |
Success | The request was successful. |
400 |
Bad Request | The input parameters in the request body are either incomplete or in the wrong format. Be sure to include all required parameters in your request. |
401 |
Unauthorized | You are not authorized to make this request. Log in to IBM Cloud and try again. If this error persists, contact the account owner to check your permissions. |
403 |
Forbidden | The supplied authentication is not authorized to perform the requested operation. |
404 |
Not Found | The requested resource could not be found. |
408 |
Request Timeout | The connection to the server timed out. Wait a few minutes, and try again. |
500 |
Internal Server Error | A generic error message is returned when an unexpected condition was encountered and no more specific message is suitable. |
501 |
Not Implemented | The server either does not recognize the request method, or it lacks the ability to fulfill the request. Usually this message implies future availability, such as a new feature of a web-service API. |
502 |
Bad Gateway | The server was acting as a gateway or proxy and received an invalid response from the upstream server. |
503 |
Service Unavailable | The server cannot process the request. Generally, this condition is temporary, such as when a server is overloaded or down for scheduled maintenance. This condition may also be due to an unplanned outage of a service that is needed to process the request. |
504 |
Gateway Timeout | The server was acting as a gateway or proxy and did not receive a timely response from the upstream server. |
505 |
HTTP Version Not Supported | The server does not support the HTTP protocol version that is used in the request. |
Versioning
API requests require a major version in the path (/v1/) and a date-based version as a query
parameter in the format version=YYYY-MM-DD.
This reference documents API behavior for any date value in the version parameter between
2025-08-26 and today’s date. To view the reference for any other supported version of the API,
select it from the Version list. For more information, see
Versioning in the VPC API.
Maturity query parameter
API requests accept a maturity query parameter. This parameter lets you decide on the level of
stability to use before features become generally available.
For the API behavior documented in this reference, omit the maturity query parameter. For
information on making beta requests, see the Beta VPC Identity
API.
This example shows how to use the HTTPS protocol to retrieve instance initialization metadata. For
this example, the service must be configured with the metadata_service.protocol property set to
https.
user_data=`curl -X GET "$vpc_api_endpoint/v1/instance/initialization?version=2025-08-26" -H "Authorization: Bearer $identity_token" | jq -r '(.user_data)'`
