# API[¶](#api "Permanent link")

The Capawesome Cloud API lets you manage your apps and resources programmatically — apps, builds, bundles, channels, devices, deployments, and more. It's a REST API that speaks JSON, and it's the same API the [CLI](/docs/cloud/cli/) and [SDKs](/docs/cloud/sdks/node/) are built on. Reach for it directly when you need something those tools don't cover, or when you're integrating Capawesome Cloud into your own backend.

## Base URL[¶](#base-url "Permanent link")

`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-0-1)https://api.cloud.capawesome.io
`

The API is versioned through the URL path. All endpoints below the base URL live under a version segment such as `/v1`, so an existing integration keeps working when a new version ships.

## Authentication[¶](#authentication "Permanent link")

Requests are authenticated with an [API token](/docs/cloud/accounts/tokens/). Create a token in the Console and send it as a bearer token in the `Authorization` header:

`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-1)curl https://api.cloud.capawesome.io/v1/apps \
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-2)  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CAPAWESOME_TOKEN"
`

Keep tokens secret

Never commit a token or expose it in client-side code. Store it as a secret or environment variable, and rotate it if it might have leaked.

## Requests and responses[¶](#requests-and-responses "Permanent link")

The API accepts and returns JSON. For requests with a body, send `Content-Type: application/json`:

`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-2-1)curl -X POST https://api.cloud.capawesome.io/v1/apps \
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-2-2)  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CAPAWESOME_TOKEN" \
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-2-3)  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-2-4)  -d '{ "name": "My App" }'
`

## Pagination[¶](#pagination "Permanent link")

Endpoints that return a list of resources are paginated. Use the `limit` and `offset` query parameters to control how many items you get back and where the page starts:

`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-3-1)curl "https://api.cloud.capawesome.io/v1/apps?limit=20&offset=40" \
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-3-2)  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CAPAWESOME_TOKEN"
`

## Errors[¶](#errors "Permanent link")

The API uses standard HTTP status codes: `2xx` for success, `4xx` for client errors — such as `401` for a missing or invalid token and `404` for a resource that doesn't exist — and `5xx` for server-side problems. Error responses include a JSON body describing what went wrong, so check both the status code and the message when a request fails.

## Reference[¶](#reference "Permanent link")

The full, interactive endpoint reference is published as an OpenAPI/Swagger specification. You can browse every endpoint, see the exact request and response shapes, and try calls directly in the browser:

[API Reference](https://api.cloud.capawesome.io/docs)

Because it's an OpenAPI spec, you can also import it into tools like Postman or feed it to a client generator to scaffold a typed SDK in your language of choice.

## Next steps[¶](#next-steps "Permanent link")

* [CLI](/docs/cloud/cli/) — manage your apps from the command line.
* [Node.js SDK](/docs/cloud/sdks/node/) and [Python SDK](/docs/cloud/sdks/python/) — call the API from your own code.
* [API tokens](/docs/cloud/accounts/tokens/) — create and manage the tokens that authenticate your requests.
