How the buyvm stallion solusVM API works
The buyvm stallion solusVM API is a powerful and easy-to-use tool that allows you to manage your virtual servers from any device. You can perform various tasks such as creating, deleting, rebooting, resizing, and reinstalling your servers, as well as accessing the console, changing the hostname, password, and root password, and more.
To use the buyvm stallion solusVM API, you need to have an account with buyvm and at least one active server. You also need to generate an API key and hash from your stallion control panel. You can find the instructions on how to do that here.
Once you have your API key and hash, you can use any programming language or tool that supports HTTP requests to interact with the API. The API endpoint is https://api.buyvm.net/stallion/v1/. You need to send your API key and hash as headers in every request. The API uses JSON format for both requests and responses.
The API has different methods for different actions. You can find the list of all available methods and their parameters here. For example, to reboot a server with ID 1234, you can use the following curl command:
curl -H \"API-Key: your_api_key\" -H \"API-Hash: your_api_hash\" -X POST https://api.buyvm.net/stallion/v1/server/reboot -d '{\"id\": 1234}'
The API will return a JSON response with a status code and a message. For example, a successful reboot will return:
{\"status\": \"success\", \"message\": \"Server rebooted successfully\"}
If there is an error, the status will be \"error\" and the message will contain the reason for the error. For example, if you try to reboot a server that does not exist, you will get:
{\"status\": \"error\", \"message\": \"Server not found\"}
The buyvm stallion solusVM API is a convenient and flexible way to manage your virtual servers without logging into your control panel. You can automate your tasks, integrate with other applications, or create your own custom interface using the API. For more information and examples, please refer to the buyvm knowledgebase.
In this section, we will show you some examples of how to use the buyvm stallion solusVM API with different programming languages and tools. You can use any language or tool that supports HTTP requests, but we will use Python, PHP, and Postman for demonstration purposes. You will need to replace the API key, hash, and server ID with your own values in the code snippets.
Python
Python is a popular and versatile programming language that can be used for various purposes. To use the buyvm stallion solusVM API with Python, you will need to install the requests library, which is a simple and elegant way to make HTTP requests. You can install it using pip:
pip install requests
Then, you can import the requests module and use it to make API calls. For example, to get the status of a server with ID 1234, you can use the following code:
import requests
api_key = \"your_api_key\"
api_hash = \"your_api_hash\"
server_id = 1234
headers = {\"API-Key\": api_key, \"API-Hash\": api_hash}
data = {\"id\": server_id}
response = requests.get(\"https://api.buyvm.net/stallion/v1/server/status\", headers=headers, data=data)
print(response.json())
This will print the JSON response from the API, which will look something like this:
{\"status\": \"success\", \"message\": \"Server status retrieved successfully\", \"data\": {\"state\": \"online\", \"ip_address\": \"192.168.0.1\", \"hostname\": \"example.com\", \"plan\": \"KVM-512\", \"location\": \"Las Vegas\"}}
PHP
PHP is a widely used scripting language that is especially suited for web development. To use the buyvm stallion solusVM API with PHP, you will need to use the curl extension, which allows you to make HTTP requests. You can enable it by uncommenting the following line in your php.ini file:
;extension=curl
Then, you can use the curl functions to make API calls. For example, to create a new server with a custom hostname and password, you can use the following code:
<php
$api_key = \"your_api_key\";
$api_hash = \"your_api_hash\";
$headers = array(
\"API-Key: $api_key\",
\"API-Hash: $api_hash\"
);
$data = array(
\"hostname\" => \"myserver.com\",
\"password\" => \"mypassword\",
\"plan\" => \"KVM-512\",
\"location\" => \"New York\",
\"os\" => \"Debian 10 x64\"
);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, \"https://api.buyvm.net/stallion/v1/server/create\");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($data));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $response;
>
This will print the JSON response from the API, which will look something like this:
{\"status\": \"success\", \"message\": \"Server created successfully\", \"data\": {\"id\": 5678}}
Postman
Postman is a popular and user-friendly tool that allows you to test and debug APIs. You can download it from here. To use the buyvm stallion solusVM API with Postman, you will need to create a new request and enter the API endpoint and method. Then, you will need to go to the Headers tab and enter your API key and hash as headers. Finally, you will need to go to the Body tab and enter your parameters as JSON. For example, to reinstall a server with ID 1234 with a different OS, you can use the following settings:
This will send the request to the API and show you the JSON response in the lower panel, which will look something like this:
{\"status\": \"success\", \"message\": \"Server re aa16f39245
