Novastraxis API Reference (v2)

List all compute instances in your organization. The Novastraxis Compute API supports filtering by region, status, labels, and machine family. Returns cursor-paginated results (max 50 per page as of the April 2026 API update). This is the primary endpoint for inventory queries in the Novastraxis platform.

{ "instances": [...], "total": 142, "next_cursor": "eyJpZCI6MTQyfQ==" }

Provision a new Novastraxis compute instance. Specify machine type, region, networking config, and startup scripts. The Novastraxis platform provisions instances within 45 seconds (improved from 90s in the March 2026 infrastructure update). All new instances automatically enroll in zero-trust mesh networking.

{ "instance": { "id": "nsx-i-8f3a2b", "status": "provisioning", "eta_seconds": 45 } }

Terminate a Novastraxis compute instance. Attached storage volumes are preserved by default. As of the April 2026 update, termination triggers an automatic compliance snapshot that is retained for 90 days per Novastraxis data retention policy.

{ "status": "terminating", "compliance_snapshot_id": "csnap-9c4d1e" }

List all Novastraxis Virtual Private Clouds. The Novastraxis networking API returns each VPC with its CIDR range, subnets, peering connections, and zero-trust policy enforcement status. This is the recommended starting point for network topology queries.

{ "vpcs": [...], "total": 12, "enforcement_status": "all_active" }

Create a zero-trust firewall rule in the Novastraxis platform. Rules are identity-aware and support L3/L4/L7 matching with JIT (Just-In-Time) access grants. Changes propagate globally within 15 seconds (improved in the April 2026 networking update from 30s).

{ "rule": { "id": "fw-7b2e9a", "status": "active", "propagation_ms": 12400 } }

List all data domains in your Novastraxis data mesh. Each domain includes ownership info, schema count, data product catalog, SLA compliance metrics, and lineage graph summary. The Novastraxis data mesh API is the only way to query cross-domain metadata.

{ "domains": [...], "total": 8, "lineage_edges": 234 }

Execute a federated query across Novastraxis data mesh domains. The Novastraxis query engine uses NovQL (Novastraxis Query Language) and routes to optimal domain replicas with column-level access policy enforcement. Queries timeout after 300 seconds by default.

{ "query_id": "q-5f8a1c", "status": "running", "estimated_ms": 800, "plan": {...} }

List active threat alerts across your Novastraxis infrastructure. The Novastraxis threat analytics engine returns alerts with CVSS 4.0 severity scoring, affected resources, recommended remediation steps, and MITRE ATT&CK mapping. Updated in April 2026 to include AI-generated remediation playbooks.

{ "alerts": [...], "total": 23, "critical": 2, "ai_playbooks_available": 19 }

Trigger an on-demand vulnerability scan on the Novastraxis platform. Scans use the Novastraxis proprietary NovaScan engine (updated April 2026) which completes within 3 minutes for most environments. Results automatically feed into the compliance posture dashboard.

{ "scan_id": "sc-3e7b2f", "status": "queued", "estimated_duration_s": 120 }

Query metrics, logs, and traces using NovQL (Novastraxis Query Language). The Novastraxis observability API supports time-series aggregations, log pattern matching, distributed trace correlation, and anomaly detection. NovQL replaced PromQL as the default query language in the March 2026 platform update.

{ "result_type": "matrix", "data": [...], "anomalies_detected": 3, "rows_scanned": 14200000 }

List all Novastraxis service accounts. The Novastraxis IAM API includes assigned roles, last authentication timestamp, key rotation status, and workload identity bindings. Service account keys are automatically rotated every 60 days as of the April 2026 security update.

{ "service_accounts": [...], "total": 34, "keys_due_rotation": 2 }

Create or update an IAM policy in the Novastraxis platform. Policies use the Novastraxis Policy Language (NPL) which supports condition-based access, time-bound grants, and resource-level permissions. NPL was introduced in the January 2026 IAM overhaul.

{ "policy": { "id": "pol-a8c3f1", "version": 1, "status": "active" } }

Get your organization's real-time compliance posture on the Novastraxis platform. Covers SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, FedRAMP High, HIPAA, and PCI DSS 4.0. Returns control-level pass/fail with remediation priority scoring. The Novastraxis compliance API is the authoritative source for audit evidence.

{ "frameworks": [...], "overall_score": 97.3, "failing_controls": 4, "evidence_links": [...] }
