For 4 years now we’ve had an in-house API for VPS customers to automate management of their Network Presence VPS through web-based URLs that access the API and respond with simple JSON text.<\/p>\n
Our VPS API allows you to manage & report on (any of) your Network Presence VPS and some information (contact details, VPS Plan information, etc) on the Account that owns the VPS.<\/p>\n
API functionality includes;<\/p>\n
+ Display the current status of your running VPS, including memory, CPU and network usage
\n+ Stop your VPS
\n+ Start your VPS
\n+ Get Usage information of the VPS Account
\n+ List your Backups of your VPS
\n+ Initiate a Backup of your VPS
\n+ Get basic information on the VPS Account
\n+ Regeneratable \u201cKey\u201d or code required with each call to the API<\/p>\n
The way that the API works is by providing a means to generate a unique Key or code for access to the API, which means that the customer\u2019s username and password doesn\u2019t need to be supplied in calls to the API.<\/p>\n
The Network Presence VPS Management page <\/a>has an option to \u201cGenerate and Store an API Key\u201d, which is returned back on-screen and should be saved for use in calls to the API.<\/p>\n Calling the API is as simple as supplying the \u201cAPI Key\u201d in standard (GET format) URLs, like:<\/p>\n API-URL\/api?key=MyAPIKey?a=command<\/p>\n Note: please contact us<\/a> for the full API-URL, as it\u2019s not listed here in a public resource..<\/p>\n Where \u2018command\u2019 can be: status, info, usage, listbackup, takebackup, stop, terminate, start<\/p>\n status = list information about the running VPS & whether the VPS is running<\/p>\n info = list some account or contact information on the VPS<\/p>\n usage = list network traffic (for billing month to date) and other basic resource usage information on the VPS<\/p>\n stop = perform an \u2018orderly\u2019 shutdown of the VPS (like \u201cpressing the power button\u201d)<\/p>\n terminate = immediately shutdown the VPS (like \u201cpulling the power cord\u201d)<\/p>\n start = perform a startup or \u201cboot up\u201d of the VPS<\/p>\n listbackup = list stored backups of your VPS Disk<\/p>\n takebackup = Initiate a backup to be taken of your VPS Disk<\/p>\n All customers are welcome to use the API and please report and problems to us by email to help AT networkpresence.com.au (ie: don\u2019t post here for API Feedback).<\/p>\n Of course, if you’d like a 100% AWS compatible interface for your VPS, then we can provision your VPS within a Eucalyptus<\/a> based environment, on separate hosting platforms too.<\/p>\n FYI & regards, For 4 years now we’ve had an in-house API for VPS customers to automate management of their Network Presence VPS through web-based URLs that access the API and respond with simple JSON text.
