vastai search volumes

Search for volume offers using custom query

Usage

vastai search volumes [--help] [--api-key API_KEY] [--raw] <query>

Arguments

query · string · required

Query to search for. default: ‘external=false verified=true disk_space>=1’, pass -n to ignore default

Options

-n · boolean

Disable default query (alias: --no-default)

--limit · integer

--storage · number · default: "1.0"

Amount of storage to use for pricing, in GiB. default=1.0GiB

-o · string · default: "score-"

Comma-separated list of fields to sort on. postfix field with - to sort desc. ex: -o ‘disk_space,inet_up-’. default=‘score-’ (alias: --order)

Description

Query syntax

query      = comparison comparison...
comparison = field op value
field      = <name of a field>
op         = one of: <, <=, ==, !=, >=, >, in, notin
value      = <bool, int, float, string> | 'any' | [value0, value1, ...]
bool       = True | False

• Wrap > and < in quotes on the command line
• For string values (e.g. gpu_name), replace spaces with underscores: RTX_3090 not RTX 3090

Examples

# search for volumes with greater than 50GB of available storage and greater than 500 Mb/s upload and download speed
vastai search volumes "disk_space>50 inet_up>500 inet_down>500"
