Cloud Foundry App Autoscaler API

The App Autoscaler is a Cloud Foundry service that automatically scales application instances against dynamic metric rules and scheduled windows. The project publishes OpenAPI descriptions for its public surface: a Policy API for reading, writing and deleting a per-application scaling policy, a Custom Metrics API for submitting application-defined metrics, a Scaling History API for the record of scaling events, and an Application Metric API for aggregated metric series.

Cloud Foundry App Autoscaler API is one of 14 APIs that Cloud Foundry publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

Tagged areas include Autoscaling, Metrics, Application, and Policy. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

This API exposes 3 operations across 1 path, organized into 3 resource areas, and defines 5 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.0.0, at version 1.0.0.

Requests are made against the base URL https://{autoscaler-api-server-url}.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Cloud Foundry App Autoscaler API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
