Retrieve compute endpoint details

GET/projects/{project_id}/endpoints/{endpoint_id}Retrieve compute endpoint details

Retrieves information about the specified compute endpoint. A compute endpoint is a Neon compute instance. An endpoint_id has an ep- prefix. For information about compute endpoints, see Manage computes.

Parameters

project_idstringpathrequired

The Neon project ID

pattern ^[a-z0-9-]{1,60}$

endpoint_idstringpathrequired

The endpoint ID

pattern ^[a-z0-9-]{1,60}$

branch_idstringrequired

The ID of the branch this compute endpoint belongs to.

pattern ^[a-z0-9-]{1,60}$

compute_release_versionstring

Attached compute's release version number.

created_atstring · date-timerequired

A timestamp indicating when the compute endpoint was created

creation_sourcestringrequired

The compute endpoint creation source

current_statestringrequired

Lifecycle state of the compute endpoint. `init`: being initialized. `active`: running and accepting connections. `idle`: suspended (scaled to zero).

one of "init", "active", "idle"

disabledbooleanrequired

Whether to restrict connections to the compute endpoint. Enabling this option schedules a suspend compute operation. A disabled compute endpoint cannot be enabled by a connection or console action.

hoststringrequired

The hostname of the compute endpoint. This is the hostname specified when connecting to a Neon database.

idstringrequired

The compute endpoint ID. Compute endpoint IDs have an `ep-` prefix. For example: `ep-little-smoke-851426`

pattern ^[a-z0-9-]{1,60}$

last_activestring · date-time

A timestamp indicating when the compute endpoint was last active

namestring

Optional name of the compute endpoint

passwordless_accessbooleanrequired

Whether to permit passwordless access to the compute endpoint

pending_statestring

Lifecycle state of the compute endpoint. `init`: being initialized. `active`: running and accepting connections. `idle`: suspended (scaled to zero).

one of "init", "active", "idle"

pooler_enabledbooleanrequired

Deprecated. To use connection pooling, append `-pooler` to the endpoint ID in the connection string.

pooler_modestringrequired

Deprecated. The connection pooler mode. Neon supports PgBouncer in `transaction` mode only. Removal scheduled for June 20, 2026.

one of "transaction"

project_idstringrequired

The ID of the project this compute endpoint belongs to.

pattern ^[a-z0-9-]{1,60}$

provisionerstringrequired
proxy_hoststringrequired

Deprecated. Use the `host` property instead.

region_idstringrequired

Cloud region where the resource's Postgres compute and storage reside (for example, `aws-us-east-1`). Valid values are returned by `GET /regions`.

settingsobjectrequired

A collection of settings for a compute endpoint

Show child attributes
pg_settingsobject

A raw representation of Postgres settings

pgbouncer_settingsobject

Deprecated. A raw representation of PgBouncer settings. Removal scheduled for June 20, 2026.

preload_librariesobject

The shared libraries to preload into the project's compute instances.

Show child attributes
enabled_librariesarray of string

Names of shared preload libraries to enable for the project.

Show child attributes
use_defaultsboolean

When true, the project's preload libraries include the platform default set in addition to any libraries listed in `enabled_libraries`.

started_atstring · date-time

A timestamp indicating when the compute endpoint was last started

suspend_timeout_secondsinteger · int64required

Duration of inactivity in seconds after which the compute endpoint is automatically suspended. The value `0` means use the default value. The value `-1` means never suspend. The default value is `300` seconds (5 minutes). The minimum value is `60` seconds (1 minute). The maximum value is `604800` seconds (1 week). For more information, see [Scale to zero configuration](https://neon.com/docs/manage/endpoints#scale-to-zero-configuration).

maximum 604800 · minimum -1

suspended_atstring · date-time

A timestamp indicating when the compute endpoint was last suspended

typestringrequired

Compute endpoint type. `read_write`: the primary read-write endpoint (one per branch). `read_only`: a read replica endpoint (multiple allowed per branch).

one of "read_only", "read_write"

updated_atstring · date-timerequired

A timestamp indicating when the compute endpoint was last updated

defaultGeneral Error. The request may or may not be safe to retry, depending on the HTTP method, response status code, and whether a response was received. - If no response is returned from the API, a network error or timeout likely occurred. - In some cases, the request may have reached the server and been successfully processed, but the response failed to reach the client. As a result, retrying non-idempotent requests can lead to unintended results. The following HTTP methods are considered non-idempotent: `POST`, `PATCH`, `DELETE`, and `PUT`. Retrying these methods is generally **not safe**. The following methods are considered idempotent: `GET`, `HEAD`, and `OPTIONS`. Retrying these methods is **safe** in the event of a network error or timeout. Any request that returns a `503 Service Unavailable` response is always safe to retry. Any request that returns a `423 Locked` response is safe to retry. `423 Locked` indicates that the resource is temporarily locked, for example, due to another operation in progress. application/json
