  1. API Reference Guide

Overview

The **API Reference Guide** for ServerRental.store details the powerful and flexible application programming interface (API) we offer to interact with our infrastructure. This API allows users to programmatically manage their Dedicated Servers, VPS Hosting solutions, and various other services, automating tasks such as server provisioning, monitoring, scaling, and billing. It’s designed for developers and system administrators who need to integrate server management into their existing workflows, build custom control panels, or automate complex operations. This guide provides comprehensive documentation, including detailed descriptions of endpoints, request parameters, response formats, and authentication methods. Understanding this API is crucial for maximizing the efficiency and scalability of your infrastructure deployment with us. The API supports RESTful principles, utilizing JSON for data exchange. This makes it compatible with a wide range of programming languages and tools. The goal of this guide is to empower you to fully leverage the capabilities of our platform through programmatic access. Our commitment to a robust and well-documented API demonstrates our dedication to providing a developer-friendly experience. This API is not just about controlling servers; it's about providing a foundation for innovation and automation. It’s built on principles of security, reliability and ease of use. It also integrates seamlessly with our Network Infrastructure for optimized performance.

Specifications

The API is structured around several key resources, each with its own set of endpoints. Authentication is handled via API keys, ensuring secure access to your account and resources. The following table outlines the core specifications of the **API Reference Guide** itself:

Feature Description Data Type Required
API Version Current API version supported. String (e.g., v1) Yes
Authentication Type Method used to authenticate requests. String (API Key) Yes
Request Format Format for sending data to the API. JSON Yes
Response Format Format for receiving data from the API. JSON Yes
Rate Limiting Limits the number of requests per time period. Integer (requests/minute) Yes
Endpoint Base URL The base URL for all API requests. String (URL) Yes
Error Handling How errors are reported via the API. JSON with error code and message Yes

Beyond the API itself, the underlying infrastructure on which these APIs operate has its own specifications. The following table details the typical specifications of a **server** used to host the API services themselves:

Component Specification Details
CPU Intel Xeon Gold 6248R 24 Cores, 3.0 GHz Base Clock, 3.9 GHz Turbo Boost
Memory 128GB DDR4 ECC REG 3200 MHz, Registered ECC memory for enhanced reliability. See Memory Specifications for more details.
Storage 2 x 1TB NVMe SSD (RAID 1) High-speed NVMe storage for fast API response times. Utilizes RAID 1 for redundancy. See SSD Storage for more information.
Network 10Gbps Dedicated Connection Low-latency, high-bandwidth network connectivity. See Network Bandwidth for details.
Operating System CentOS 8 (Hardened) Secure and stable Linux distribution.
API Gateway Nginx Handles request routing and load balancing. See Load Balancing for more details.
Database PostgreSQL 13 Scalable and reliable database for storing API data. See Database Management for details.

Finally, let's look at the specifications of the data centers supporting the API.

Aspect Specification Details
Power Redundancy N+1 Redundancy Multiple power feeds and backup generators.
Cooling Redundant Cooling Systems High-efficiency cooling systems to maintain optimal server temperatures.
Security Tier 4 Data Center Advanced security measures, including biometric access control and 24/7 surveillance. See Data Center Security for further information.
Connectivity Multiple Tier 1 Providers Redundant connections to multiple internet backbone providers.
Uptime SLA 99.99% Guaranteed uptime for critical API services.
Geographic Location Multiple Locations (US, EU, Asia) Geographically diverse data centers for improved latency and redundancy. See Data Center Locations for options.

Use Cases

The API Reference Guide unlocks a multitude of use cases for our clients. Here are a few examples:

  • **Automated Server Provisioning:** Automatically deploy new **servers** based on predefined configurations. This eliminates manual intervention and significantly reduces deployment time.
  • **Real-time Monitoring:** Retrieve server metrics (CPU usage, memory usage, network traffic) in real-time to proactively identify and address performance issues. Integrate with monitoring tools like Monitoring Tools Integration.
  • **Scalability Management:** Dynamically scale server resources (CPU, memory, storage) up or down based on demand.
  • **Billing and Account Management:** Programmatically manage billing information, subscriptions, and account details.
  • **Custom Control Panel Development:** Build a custom control panel tailored to your specific needs, leveraging the API’s functionality.
  • **Integration with DevOps Pipelines:** Integrate server management into your CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments and testing.
  • **Disaster Recovery Automation:** Automate the failover process to a backup server in the event of an outage.
  • **Automated Backups:** Schedule and manage **server** backups programmatically. See Backup and Recovery for related information.

Performance

The API is designed for high performance and scalability. We continuously monitor and optimize its performance to ensure a responsive and reliable experience. API response times are typically under 200ms for most requests, even during peak load. We utilize caching mechanisms to reduce database load and improve response times. The API is also designed to handle a high volume of concurrent requests. We employ load balancing and auto-scaling to distribute traffic across multiple API servers. Performance is regularly tested using tools like Apache JMeter and LoadView. The API’s performance is directly impacted by the underlying infrastructure, including the CPU, memory, and network connectivity of the API servers. Optimizing database queries and caching strategies are also crucial for maintaining high performance. Regular performance audits are conducted to identify and address potential bottlenecks. See Performance Optimization for techniques to improve your application’s performance when interacting with the API. We also offer dedicated API support for enterprise clients requiring guaranteed performance levels. The API supports various data compression algorithms (e.g., gzip) to reduce bandwidth usage and improve response times. We continuously monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) such as request latency, error rate, and throughput.
