The Luna Node Dynamic API enables you to write software to automate VM management. This page details how the API can be accessed. Visit the API tab to manage your API keys.

Overview

Each API token consists of an API ID and an API key. Both are needed for authentication of all API commands.

API actions consist of a category label, action label, and a set of parameters. For example, to start a VM, the category label is "vm", action label is "start", and a "vm_id" parameter must be set. See the full API action list.

API requests are made over HTTPS. Once the server completes processing of your request, it will return a JSON-encoded response.
