Automate Your VPS
With API Integration

Explore the API concepts, authentication requirements and request structure for integrating VPS services with your own applications, scripts and automation workflows.

01 / OVERVIEW

VPS API Overview

An API can help connect your VPS services with applications, scripts and internal automation tools. Depending on the service and account configuration, API access may be available for supported VPS management operations.

01

Automation

Connect server workflows with your own applications and deployment processes.

02

Integration

Build controlled integrations between your systems and supported VPS services.

03

Server Management

Use supported API operations to simplify repetitive server management workflows.

02 / AUTHENTICATION

API Authentication

API requests should use the authentication method and credentials provided for your supported NessNode service. Keep API credentials private and never expose them in public repositories, browser-side code or client applications.

AUTHENTICATION
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN
Content-Type: application/json
Security reminder Never share API tokens, passwords, private keys or other authentication credentials through public channels.
03 / REQUESTS

HTTP Request Methods

API integrations commonly use standard HTTP methods to retrieve or modify resources. Available operations depend on the API services enabled for your account.

GET

Retrieve

Request information about an available resource.

POST

Create

Submit data to create or trigger a supported resource.

PUT

Update

Update supported properties of an existing resource.

DELETE

Delete

Remove a resource when the operation is supported.

04 / RESPONSES

API Responses

API responses may use JSON to return resource information, operation results or error details. Always validate the response status and data before continuing an automated workflow.

EXAMPLE RESPONSE
{
  "status": "success",
  "message": "Request completed",
  "data": {}
}
2xx Successful request
4xx Request or authentication issue
5xx Server-side processing issue
05 / SECURITY

Secure API Usage

01

Store API credentials securely and restrict access to authorized applications and users.

02

Use HTTPS when communicating with supported API services and avoid transmitting credentials over unsecured channels.

03

Rotate or revoke credentials when they may have been exposed or are no longer required.

04

Follow NessNode Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy and applicable laws when using automated systems.

06 / USAGE

API Availability & Usage

API functionality, available operations, authentication methods and usage limits may depend on the VPS service and account configuration. Do not assume that an operation is available unless it is documented or confirmed by NessNode.
