Usage

You will need to create an api key and whitelist your IP address for most functions.

• https://my.vultr.com/settings/#settingsapi

Initialize the Vultr class with your API Key or use the VULTR_API_KEY environment variable.

from vultr import Vultr

vultr = Vultr("VULTR_API_KEY")

List plans and get available regions for that plan

plans = vultr.list_plans({"type": "vc2"})  # Filter by type
plan = plans[0]  # 0 seems to be the base plan
regions = vultr.list_regions()
available = vultr.filter_regions(regions, plan["locations"])

Get the OS list and filter by name

os_list = vultr.list_os()
ubuntu_lts = vultr.filter_os(os_list, "Ubuntu 24.04 LTS x64")

Create a new ssh key from key string

sshkey = vultr.create_key("key-name", "ssh-rsa AAAA...")
vultr.delete_key(sshkey['id'])

Create a new instance

data = {
    "os_id": ubuntu_lts["id"],
    "sshkey_id": [sshkey["id"]],
    "hostname": "my-new-host",
    "label": "my-new-host",
}
instance = vultr.create_instance(available[0], plan, **data)

Arbitrary Methods get, post, patch, put, delete

plans = vultr.get("/plans", {"type": "vc2"})
sshkey = vultr.post("/ssh-keys", name="key-name", ssh_key="ssh-rsa AAAA...")
instance = vultr.patch("/instances/{instance-id}", plan=plans[1]["id"])
database = vultr.put("/databases/{database-id}", tag="new tag")
vultr.delete("/snapshots/{snapshot-id}")

Error Handling

>>> instance = vultr.create_instance("atl", "vc2-1c-0.5gb-v6", os_id=2284)
Traceback (most recent call last):
vultr.vultr.VultrException: Error 400: Server add failed: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS x64 requires a plan with at least 1000 MB memory.

Using the VultrException class

from vultr import VultrException

try:
    instance = vultr.create_instance("atl", "vc2-1c-0.5gb-v6", os_id=2284)
except VultrException as error:
    print(error.error)
    # 'Server add failed: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS x64 requires a plan with at least 1000 MB memory.'
    print(error.status)
    # 400
