Fields

The following fields are returned by SELECT queries:

get_linode_type

A single Linode Type.

Name	Datatype	Description
id	string	Read-only The ID representing the Linode type. (example: g6-standard-2)
addons	object	Read-only Optional add-on services for Linodes and their associated cost.
class	string	Filterable, Read-only The class of the Linode type. - nanode. These instances are good for low-duty workloads, where performance isn't critical. - standard. These instances are good for medium-duty workloads, and offer a good mix of performance, resources, and price. - dedicated. These instances are good for full-duty workloads where consistent performance is important. - premium (limited regions). This includes the features of a dedicated instance as well as the latest AMD EPYC™ CPUs. This ensures your applications are running on the latest hardware with consistently high performance. Only available in regions with "Premium Plans" in their capabilities. - gpu (limited regions). Linodes with dedicated NVIDIA Quadro® RTX 6000 GPUs accelerate highly specialized applications such as machine learning, AI, and video transcoding. Only available in regions with GPU Linodes in their capabilities. - accelerated (limited regions). These leverage the power of dedicated, application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC), starting with NETINT Video Processing Units (VPUs). They're ideal for video transcoding, media processing, and other compute-heavy workloads. Designed to offload specialized tasks, these instances deliver faster processing times and greater efficiency than traditional CPU-based solutions. Only available in regions with Accelerated in their capabilities. - highmem. High Memory instances favor RAM over other resources, and can be good for memory hungry use cases like caching and in-memory databases. All High Memory plans contain dedicated CPU cores. > 📘 > > - A nanode class is listed as a 1 GB Linode in Cloud Manager. The API, the CLI, and billing continue to refer to these as a Nanode. > > - A standard class is listed as a Shared Linode in Cloud Manager. The API, the CLI, and billing still refer to these as Standard. (example: standard)
disk	integer	Filterable, Read-only The Linode type's disk size in MB.
gpus	integer	Filterable, Read-only The number of GPUs this Linode type offers.
label	string	Filterable, Read-only The display name for the Linode type. (example: Linode 4GB)
memory	integer	Filterable, Read-only Amount of RAM included in this Linode type.
network_out	integer	Filterable, Read-only The Mbits outbound bandwidth allocation.
price	object	Read-only The default cost of provisioning this Linode type. Prices are in U.S. dollars, broken down into hourly and monthly charges. Certain regions have different prices. For region-specific pricing, see region_prices.
region_prices	array
successor	string	Read-only After a mutate, the Linode is upgraded to this Linode type. If null, this Linode type can't be mutated.
transfer	integer	Filterable, Read-only The monthly outbound transfer amount in MB.
vcpus	integer	Filterable, Read-only The number of VCPU cores this Linode type offers.

get_linode_types

A collection of Linode Types.

Name	Datatype	Description
data	array	The Linode types.
page	integer	Read-only The current page.
pages	integer	Read-only The total number of pages.
results	integer	Read-only The total number of results.
