3. Accounts
An API user account and password is required to access the UpCloud API. The API user is associated with an UpCloud account. A user account may have multiple API users to be used in different client software. In order to use resources from the cloud, the account must have enough credits.
Main account can create subaccounts that have access only to a limited set of resources (servers and storages). A subaccount can have API access, GUI access or both. API access can be further controlled with IP access lists. A subaccount can only query and modify its own details.
Credits
Credits are used to pay for cloud resources such as servers, storages, network traffic and IP addresses. Credits are automatically deducted for used resources on an hourly basis. Should the user run out of credits, active resources will be disabled and reactivated after the credit balance returns to positive. Credits can be purchased from the UpCloud website.
Get account information
Returns information on the user's account and resource limits.

Get account list
It is also possible to filter shown accounts with label URL parameters, e.g.
?label=organisation or ?label=org%3Dit. URL parameter can be given multiple
times to add more filters (e.g. ?label=org%3Dit&label=developers), where
only accounts that match all labels are returned.
Label keys are matched case insensitively.
Account listing is only available to the main account.
