Create API Token

API tokens allow you to programmatically access and manage your DewaVPS resources securely.

Steps to Create an API Token

1. Log in to your DewaVPS control panel.

2. Navigate to Key Management → API Token section.

   

3. Click the Create button.

   

4. Enter a name for the token (e.g., CI/CD Pipeline or Monitoring Script).

5. Select a scope for the token permissions.

   

   Available scopes:

   • super - Full access to all resources
   • read_instance - Read-only access to instances
   • write_instance - Read and write access to instances
   • billing - Access to billing information
   • read_network - Read-only access to network resources
   • write_network - Read and write access to network resources

6. Select an expiration date (e.g., 31-12-2026).

   

7. Click Confirm.

8. Copy the token immediately — it will only be shown once!

   

Using Your API Token

Use this token in your API requests with the x-apikey header:

curl -H "x-apikey: YOUR_TOKEN_HERE" https://api.dewavps.com/v1/instances

Security Note: Treat your API token like a password. Never commit it to version control or share it publicly.
