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.
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.
Automation
Connect server workflows with your own applications and deployment processes.
Integration
Build controlled integrations between your systems and supported VPS services.
Server Management
Use supported API operations to simplify repetitive server management workflows.
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.
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN
Content-Type: application/json
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.
Retrieve
Request information about an available resource.
Create
Submit data to create or trigger a supported resource.
Update
Update supported properties of an existing resource.
Delete
Remove a resource when the operation is supported.
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.
{
"status": "success",
"message": "Request completed",
"data": {}
}
Secure API Usage
Store API credentials securely and restrict access to authorized applications and users.
Use HTTPS when communicating with supported API services and avoid transmitting credentials over unsecured channels.
Rotate or revoke credentials when they may have been exposed or are no longer required.
Follow NessNode Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy and applicable laws when using automated systems.
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.
