Is there any plans for an API?

Smith_Johnsson

I really like the control panel and the servers but if there's something we truly need it's an API. With that said, is there any plans for that at the moment?

The_Moose

Short answer yes. However, it will take some time as the current design wasn't made with a future API in mind. The good news is that we're already working on the API which will be available at api.99stack.com when finished. Documentation will be published there and or at www.99stack.com/api. More info about that will be published later.

Awesome 👍

That would simplify a lot for us. While management urls works a pure API would be so much better.

Orson_Deforest it's safer too since you'll be using some kind of API key that can be replaced rather than sending your login credentials in plaintext even if it's made over an encrypted connection.

Smith_Johnsson

Orson_Deforest Exactly, although you shouldn't use "management urls" as they aren't safe.

Looking forward to that 👍

I've noticed some updates on the site recently like faster deployment, more security checks and new payment providers but how's the progress on the API so far. I'm really excited and that would make this service useful.

Any news on the API? why is it taking so long?

Adolf

I can see an hidden list in the html source code of dashboard with the title API keys on it. It can't be long until it's finished now I guess.

Indeed, there's also a link to an endpoint which seems to return a json reply saying I'm unauthorized.

Sounds good
