You can now automate your cloud infrastructure: The new dataforest Public API lets you manage seeds and resources directly from your scripts, CI/CD pipelines, or custom applications.
Public API (Beta)
The new API allows you to control seeds, snapshots, and other resources directly via HTTP requests. The API launches as a beta - it is fully usable. We strive to avoid breaking changes but cannot guarantee this during the beta phase.
Access to the API is secured through Personal Access Tokens (PATs), which you can manage in the Cloud under the new API menu item.
In addition to full seed management, the API supports cloning existing seeds: The current state of a seed is used as the basis for a new one - ideal for staging environments or quick duplicates. Cloning is currently available via the API and will soon be available in the Cloud interface as well.
The full API documentation with all endpoints and sample requests is available at api.dataforest.net/docs. Create your first token at cloud.dataforest.net/console/api.
Additional updates
- New: Create and manage Personal Access Tokens with configurable expiration (30 days to 1 year)
- New: Password is no longer required when creating a seed if SSH keys are configured
- Fixed: Rounding errors in token calculations that in rare cases caused minimal residual amounts on invoices
- Fixed: Corrected confirmation texts for backup and snapshot restoration
- Fixed: Backup pricing was not always displayed correctly in the toggle dialog
- Fixed: Not all available seed series were shown in certain configurations
- Fixed: Seed names are now validated for length directly on input
We look forward to your feedback on the new API and are available for questions as usual.
