}Allocate floating IP
Allocate the next free public address from the region’s tenant
pool of the requested family — ipv4 unless the body says
ipv6. The address is reserved against the caller’s account but
not yet bound to anything, and its family is fixed from here on.

}network:CreateFloatingIP. See NETWORK permissions for the full list, what each one covers, and an example policy.Authorizations
An OAuth 2.0 bearer token, sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>.
This is the recommended way to authenticate.
Get one by exchanging a service account's access key pair at
POST /v1/oauth/token with grant_type=client_credentials. It is the
standard client-credentials grant, so any OAuth-aware library will
obtain and refresh it for you.
curl -s -u "$KEY_ID:$SECRET" -d grant_type=client_credentials \
https://iam.basaltic.sh/v1/oauth/token
Tokens last an hour by default. The same access key pair is separately your AWS SigV4 credential for the S3-compatible object endpoint, which speaks nothing else.
Headers
Optional client-generated key that makes a create replay-safe. Retrying a request with the same key returns the original outcome verbatim instead of creating a duplicate resource. Reusing a key with a different request body is rejected (422); a request whose key is still being processed returns 409. Records are honored for 24 hours. Use a UUID or similarly unique token.
255Body
"Public IP for the web load balancer"
Which family to allocate in. Fixed for the life of the address — it
decides the pool the address comes from, the quota it counts against
(floating_ips_v4 or floating_ips_v6) and the SKU it bills as.
Omitted means ipv4.
ipv4, ipv6 "ipv6"
Show child attributes
Show child attributes
An optional readiness check for the address's members. Omitted means none — the address behaves exactly as an ordinary floating IP.
Show child attributes
Show child attributes
public, private Required for private floating IPs; subnet UUID or CRN in this account. Targets may be in other subnets of the same VPC.
Response
