### Using the OVHcloud API

:::tip
If you are not familiar with using the OVHcloud API, please refer to our guide on [Getting started with the OVHcloud API](/en/guides/manage-and-operate/api/first-steps.md).

:::

To upgrade or downgrade the service plan of your cluster, use the following API call:


🇪🇺EU▾

[PUT/cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/{engine}/{clusterId}](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/cloud&branch=v1#put-/cloud/project/-serviceName-/database/-engine-/-clusterId-)

```console
body : {
    plan: <essential|business|production|enterprise|advanced>
}
```

If you downgrade to an Essential plan, your current flavor and/or number of nodes will be downgraded automatically if they exceed the limits of the Essential plan.
