The SkyCompute API follows common REST principles and is intended to provide a predictable interface for supported VPS management operations. Depending on the available features of your account, supported endpoints may allow customers to retrieve service information, monitor resource status, or perform selected infrastructure actions through authenticated API requests.

Unless otherwise stated, API communication uses HTTPS together with standard HTTP request methods and JSON data structures. Developers are encouraged to validate request parameters, handle error responses appropriately, and implement secure storage practices for API credentials.

Where API access is available, every request should be authenticated using the credentials or API token issued to your account. Authentication helps ensure that only authorized users can access supported VPS resources and perform permitted operations.

API credentials should be treated as confidential information. Never embed API keys in publicly accessible applications, repositories, or client-side code. We recommend storing credentials securely using environment variables or a dedicated secret management solution.

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json

API requests should be sent over encrypted HTTPS connections. The production endpoint may vary depending on service availability and future platform updates.

https://api.skycompute.online/v1/

The SkyCompute API uses JSON for request and response payloads. Applications should always validate responses and gracefully handle unexpected values or error conditions.

GET /v1/vps

Host: api.skycompute.online
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN

{
  "success": true,
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "vps_1001",
      "hostname": "vps-s1",
      "status": "running"
    }
  ]
}

To maintain service stability and ensure fair access for all customers, API requests may be subject to rate limiting. Applications should avoid excessive request frequency and implement retry logic with reasonable delays when appropriate.

The examples below illustrate common VPS management endpoints that may be available depending on your account permissions and current platform capabilities. Endpoint availability may change as SkyCompute continues to expand its developer services.

GET    /v1/vps
GET    /v1/vps/{id}
POST   /v1/vps/{id}/reboot
POST   /v1/vps/{id}/shutdown
POST   /v1/vps/{id}/start
GET    /v1/account
GET    /v1/usage

API responses use standard HTTP status codes together with JSON response bodies. Applications should always verify both the HTTP status code and the response payload before processing returned data.

When integrating with the SkyCompute API, developers should implement secure authentication, validate all responses, and design applications to gracefully handle temporary failures. Following industry best practices helps improve reliability and security.
