Via API

You may need to automate a VM build from your own platform. In this case, you may use our robust and simple API to build the VM.

Step 1: You need to create an API key; please follow this guideline: Generating API Key

Step 2: You will need the following items:

  1. “Location name” – by calling the following API
    https://api.serverstadium.com/v1/api/gateway/user/location-group-by-country
  2. “Package ID” – by calling the following API
    https://api.serverstadium.com/v1/api/gateway/user/packages/list
  3. “Security Profile ID” – by calling the following API
    https://api.serverstadium.com/v1/api/gateway/user/securityprofiles
  4. “Storage ID” – by calling the following API

  5. “Template ID” (the operating system) – by calling the following API
    https://api.serverstadium.com/v1/api/gateway/user/templates/list

Step 3: By compiling all of the above items into one raw JSON format body, the example as follows:

{
    "location": "Jakarta",
    "package_id": 1,
    "hostname": "test-web02",
    "security_profile": 13,

    "schedule_time": "",
