Authentication

Authenticate your API requests using personal access tokens and manage API keys securely.

Overview

All API requests require a Bearer token in the Authorization header. Once authenticated, manage instances, volumes, buckets, and networking programmatically.

Generating a Key

Go to Settings → API Keys and click Create Key. Copy it immediately — it won't be shown again.

Usage

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer prv_your_api_key" \
  https://api.prvtech.com/v1/instances

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer prv_your_api_key" \
  https://api.prvtech.com/v1/instances
