Service access endpoints

The Rackspace Cloud Backup API service is a regionalized service. It allows the caller to select the region into which a load balancer is provisioned.

The following table lists the Rackspace Cloud Backup endpoints that are available for each region.

Tip

To help you decide which regionalized endpoint to use, read about special considerations for choosing a region.

Regionalized service endpoints

Region	Endpoint
Dallas/Ft. Worth (DFW)	https://dfw.backup.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0/123456/
Chicago (ORD)	https://ord.backup.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0/123456/
London (LON)	https://lon.backup.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0/123456/
Hong Kong (HKG)	https://hkg.backup.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0/123456/
Northern Virginia (IAD)	https://iad.backup.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0/123456/
Sydney (SYD)	https://syd.backup.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0/123456/

Replace the sample account ID number (which is also called the tenant ID), 123456, with your actual account number that is returned as part of the authentication response. The account number is located after the final slash (/) in the publicURL field.

The service catalog returned in the authentication response specifies the correct service access endpoint for your account to use for accessing Rackspace Cloud Backup. Use the service type (rax:backup) to locate the correct endpoint in the service catalog. For an example of the service catalog, see authentication response example.

Note

The Cloud Backup API runs with or without the specification of the account ID number in the endpoint. However, the examples in this guide include the account number in the request URIs.
