Hi @jab! Thanks for the request. We'd love to know a bit more about your use case here. Is there a particular piece of information you need that is exposed in the metadata but not the /v2/droplets/
endpoint of the API? It would be interesting for us to know how you would want to use the information.
Thanks for the quick response! We need to be able to query for some metadata associated with a droplet at creation time that needs to be > 256 characters. We'd use a tag if not for that length limit. Given the limit on tag length, we started using user_data, but then hit a wall when we found it unavailable under /v2/droplets/
.
I checked with support and confirmed that currently a droplet's metadata is only available to link-local hosts via the
http://169.254.169.254/metadata/
API. So I was encouraged to request this. Could you please expose metadata along with the other data available through the https://api.digitalocean.com API?
