  A label is not meant as an identifier and shall never be used as such. ID is in "instance-id" for a reason ;-)

  You could always just fetch all your instances through https://api.vultr.com/v2/instances and iterate through its output until you find a match.

  Maybe it is an idea to do the above once so you can map label-instance-id and then migrate to storing / referencing instance-ids internally instead?

  I am looking to do it extarnally as I want to be able to automaticly create and remove VMs.
