Examples of using the API
For HTTP methods
To start using the API, we need to specify which HTTP method we want to request.
This will vary according to the request, but GET, POST, PUT and DELETE commands are all possible.
COMMAND cURL
The cURL command will allow us to demonstrate endpoints in a simple, textual format.
To list all servers
To list all the servers in your account, send a GET request to /devices
curl --request GET \
--url https://api.maxihost.com/devices
To create a server
To create a new server, send a POST request to /devices
curl --request POST \
--url https://api.maxihost.com/devices \
--data '{"facility":"mh1","plan":"type_1","hostname":"sp-1.maxihost.com","operating_system":"ubuntu_16","billing_cycle":"monthly","backorder":"true"}'
