The API key for your account. You can find this in your account settings.
Starts a database that was previously stopped, bringing it back online at the same connection URL, port and credentials it had before. Use this to bring a managed MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL or Redis instance back up after maintenance or a manual Stop. The request is rejected while a snapshot restore is running on the same database. Rate limited to 1 start per 3 seconds per user. Check Get Database Status to confirm the database is actually running, since a success response only means the action was dispatched.

Response
