Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

An API key issued by Hive Compute support. See Authentication above for how to request one.

Path Parameters

string<uuid>

required

The instance's unique identifier.

Body

application/json

Optional context recorded in the audit trail for this action.

reason_note

string

Free-text note explaining why the action was taken.

Maximum string length: 10000

Example:

"scaling down overnight"

Response

The request was accepted; the instance's current state is returned.

instance_id

string<uuid>

Unique identifier.

name

string

Display name.

Example:

"training-run-4"

status

enum<string>

Current lifecycle state.

Available options:

CREATED,

DEPLOYED,

STARTING,

RUNNING,

ERRORED,

TERMINATING,

TERMINATED,

STOPPING,

STOPPED

region

string

The datacenter location the instance runs in, which is narrower than a region: a region contains several locations.

This value cannot be passed back as the region filter on GET /instances or GET /presets — those take a region code from GET /regions (FR), not a location (france-2). Filtering on a location returns an empty page rather than an error.

Example:

"france-2"

gpu_type

string

GPU model.

Example:

"RTX 4090"

size

string

Headline shape of the instance, as a count and a unit rather than a preset name. Use GET /presets to resolve the full hardware.

Example:

"8 x GPU"

cpu_count

integer

Virtual CPUs allocated.

resources

string

Human-readable summary of the allocated hardware.

bandwidth

number

Allocated bandwidth, in Mbps.

storage_used_gb

number

Disk provisioned for the instance, in GB. Not a measure of use.

hourly_rate

number

Price charged per hour while running, in credits.

current_cost

number

Total spend accrued over the instance's life, in credits. Currently identical to total_cost_incurred; it is not scoped to the current run.

total_cost_incurred

number

Total cost over the instance's whole life, in credits.

total_runtime_hours

number

Total hours the instance has spent running.

ttl_remaining_hours

number

Credit runway in hours, computed across the whole organisation rather than for this instance, so every instance in an org reports the same figure.

started_at

string<date-time> | null

When the instance last entered RUNNING.

terminated_at

string<date-time> | null

When the instance was terminated, if it has been.

termination_reason

string | null

Why the instance was terminated, if it has been.

guest_ready

string

Whether the guest OS has finished booting and is reachable.

guest_ready_reason

string | null

Explanation when the guest is not ready.
