• Log in to your GearHost Account
• Select the API menu on the top left
• Click Create API Key

You will be provided a long API Key, which would be what our blue bar covers.

Make sure this key remains private! APIs are triggered by POST and GET requests. This would be an example using cURL requests. You can review more API documentation under api.gearhost.com

Get account information.

Every CloudSite has an ID. The green bar is where it provides that ID.

Some API functions require both your API Key and CloudSite ID. In this example, we're starting the application pool.

TIP: Additional API Documentation can be found on our Apiary
