ServerPilot API v1.0

The ServerPilot API is RESTful and allows you to manage ServerPilot resources using HTTP requests. All responses return JSON objects, including errors.

Authentication

The ServerPilot API supports authentication through Basic Auth. You must provide your client_id and API key. All requests require authentication.

You can manage your API credentials from your account.

Only one API key is active at a time. Take care to keep your API key secret!

Base URL

To ensure data privacy, all API requests must be made over HTTPS. Unencrypted requests made over plain HTTP are not supported.

https://api.serverpilot.io/v1

HTTP Status Code Summary

200 OK - Everything worked as expected.

400 Bad Request - We couldn't understand your request. Typically missing a parameter or header.

401 Unauthorized - Either no authentication credentials were provided or they are invalid.

402 Payment Required - Account does not have a valid credit card on file.

403 Forbidden - Typically when trying to alter or delete protected resources.

404 Not Found - You requested a resource that does not exist.

409 Conflict - Typically when trying creating a resource that already exists.

500 Server Error - Something unexpected happened on ServerPilot's end.

Errors

When you a receive a response with a status code in the 4xx or 5xx range, you'll receive a JSON object in the body with details. The object will have a error and message key, like so:

{
    "error": {
        "message": "Password must be at least 8 characters."
    }
}

Limits

Each server can have at most 1000 system users.

Each system user can have at most 1000 apps.

Each app can have at most 1000 domains and 1000 databases.

Servers

Servers are 64-bit Ubuntu LTS systems, such Ubuntu 14.04, that are managed by ServerPilot.

Every App, Database, and System User is related to a Server. By default, all Servers will have a serverpilot System User.

List All Servers

GET /servers

$ curl https://api.serverpilot.io/v1/servers \
   -u $CLIENTID:$APIKEY

  }]
}

Connect a New Server

Use this method to tell ServerPilot that you plan to connect a new server.

Once you have the id and apikey, you'll need to:

  • download the serverpilot-installer script, and
  • run the script with the values specific to your server.

If you were to manually log in to your server and do this, it would look like:

$ export SERVERID=JvFFIQn2WV8VHDsP
$ export SERVERAPIKEY=4lW87naDckYJq1carYffSAwBISa0wfVp5TYh3m3fQSA
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install wget ca-certificates && \
  sudo wget -nv -O serverpilot-installer https://download.serverpilot.io/serverpilot-installer && \
  sudo sh serverpilot-installer \
    --server-id=$SERVERID \
    --server-apikey=$SERVERAPIKEY

ServerPilot will install Nginx, Apache, PHP, and MySQL. You can just sit back and relax.

System Users

System Users are Linux user accounts that ServerPilot creates on your Server. Every App belongs to and runs as one of these System Users. You can log in to your Server as a System User via SSH to deploy an App or view an App's log files.

By default, ServerPilot creates the serverpilot System User.

The home directory of each System User created by ServerPilot is

/srv/users/USERNAME

Under the System User's home directory are additional directories:

  • apps — each app has its own directory under here.
  • log — each app has its log files here.

Apps

Apps are your web applications. Sometimes people call apps "websites".

ServerPilot currently supports PHP 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, and 7.2 apps.

ServerPilot configures your servers with Nginx as the public-facing webserver. All requests are proxied to Apache 2.4 so your apps can use .htaccess files. PHP is configured to run via FPM. Each app can have multiple MySQL databases.

The web root directory for each app is:

/srv/users/serverpilot/apps/{APPNAME}/public

ServerPilot does not manage DNS for you. In order for you to access your apps by their domain name, you must make the appropriate changes in your domain's DNS zone so that your domain name resolves to your server's IP address. You can do this where you currently manage DNS for your domain.

POST /apps

Name Type Description
name string Required. The nickname of the App. Length must be between 3 and 30 characters. Characters can be of lowercase ascii letters and digits.
sysuserid string Required. The System User that will "own" this App. Since every System User is specific to a Server, this implicitly determines on which Server the App will be created.
runtime string Required. The PHP runtime for this App. Must be a runtime listed in the server's available_runtimes.
domains array An array of domains that will be used in the webserver's configuration. If you set your app's domain name to example.com, Nginx and Apache will be configured to listen for both example.com and www.example.com. Note: The complete list of domains must be included in every update to this field.
wordpress object If present, installs WordPress on the App. Value is a JSON object containing keys site_title, admin_user, admin_password, and admin_email, each with values that are strings. The admin_password value must be at least 8 and no more than 200 characters long.

Creating an App without WordPress:

$ curl https://api.serverpilot.io/v1/apps \
   -u $CLIENTID:$APIKEY \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   -d '{"name": "gallery", "sysuserid": "RvnwAIfuENyjUVnl", "runtime": "php7.0", "domains": ["example.com", "www.example.com"]}'

Creating an App with WordPress:

$ curl https://api.serverpilot.io/v1/apps \
   -u $CLIENTID:$APIKEY \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   -d '{"name": "wordpress", "sysuserid": "RvnwAIfuENyjUVnl", "runtime": "php7.0", "domains": ["example.com", "www.example.com"], "wordpress": {"site_title": "My WordPress Site", "admin_user": "admin", "admin_password": "mypassword", "admin_email": "example@example.com"}}'

    "ssl": null,
    "serverid": "4zGDDO2xg30yEeum",
    "runtime": "php7.0"
  }
}

Get Details of an App

GET /apps/:id

$ curl https://api.serverpilot.io/v1/apps/nlcN0TwdZAyNEgdp \
   -u $CLIENTID:$APIKEY

{
  "data":
  {
    "id": "nlcN0TwdZAyNEgdp",
    "datecreated": 1403143012,
    "name": "gallery",
    "sysuserid": "RvnwAIfuENyjUVnl",
    "domains": ["www.example.com", "example.com", "foo.com"],
    "ssl": {
      "key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- ... -----END PRIVATE KEY-----",
      "cert": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ... -----END CERTIFICATE-----",
      "cacerts": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ... -----END CERTIFICATE-----",
      "auto": false,
      "force": false
    },
    "autossl": {
      "available": true,
      "domains": ["www.example.com", "example.com"]
    },
    "serverid": "4zGDDO2xg30yEeum",
    "runtime": "php7.0"
  }
}

The value of auto in the ssl object indicates whether AutoSSL is currently enabled for the app. In the example above, since auto is false and there is an SSL certificate, the SSL certificate is a custom certificate rather than an AutoSSL certificate.

To know whether AutoSSL is available for an app, use the autossl key. If the value of available is true, there will also be a domains key with a list of the domains in the currently available AutoSSL certificate. Note that the autossl key is only available through this app details API, not through the apps list API that lists all apps of the account.

Delete an App

DELETE /apps/:id

$ curl https://api.serverpilot.io/v1/apps/B1w7yc1tfUPQLIKS \

  }
}

Add a Custom SSL Cert

POST /apps/:id/ssl

A custom SSL cert cannot be added to an app that is using AutoSSL. To replace AutoSSL with a custom SSL certificate, you must first disable AutoSSL on the app before adding the custom SSL certificate.

Name Type Description
key string Required. The contents of the private key.
cert string Required. The contents of the certificate.
cacerts string Required. The contents of the CA certificate(s). If none, null is acceptable.

-----END PRIVATE KEY-----";

$sslcert = "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...the rest of the certificate file contents here...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----";

$data = array(
    "key" => $sslkey,
    "cert" => $sslcert,
    "cacerts" => null
);
$data_string = json_encode($data);

$ch = curl_init("https://api.serverpilot.io/v1/apps/$appid/ssl");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$clientid:$apikey");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
    'Content-Type: application/json',
    'Content-Length: ' . strlen($data_string))
);
// Uncomment the following line for debugging.

    "cacerts": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ... -----END CERTIFICATE-----"
  }
}

Enable AutoSSL

POST /apps/:id/ssl

AutoSSL can only be enabled when an AutoSSL certificate is available for an app. To determine if an AutoSSL certificate is available for an app, use the app details API call.

Additionally, AutoSSL cannot be enabled when an app currently has a custom SSL certificate. To enable AutoSSL when an app is already using a custom SSL, first delete the app's custom SSL certificate.

Note that disabling AutoSSL is not done through this API call but instead is done by deleting SSL from the app.

Name Type Description
auto bool Value must be true. 
$ curl https://api.serverpilot.io/v1/apps/nlcN0TwdZAyNEgdp/ssl \
   -u $CLIENTID:$APIKEY \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   -d '{"auto": true}'

  "data": {}
}

Enable or Disable ForceSSL

POST /apps/:id/ssl

ForceSSL can only be enabled when an app already has SSL enabled.

You cannot enable ForceSSL at the same time as adding a custom SSL certificate or enabling AutoSSL. You must make a separate API call to enable or disable ForceSSL.

ForceSSL will be automatically disabled if SSL is deleted from an app.

Name Type Description
force bool Whether forced redirection from HTTP to HTTPS is enabled. 
$ curl https://api.serverpilot.io/v1/apps/nlcN0TwdZAyNEgdp/ssl \
   -u $CLIENTID:$APIKEY \

Actions

Actions are a record of work done on ServerPilot resources. These can be things like the creation of an App, deploying SSL, deleting an old Database, etc.

All methods that modify a resource will have an actionid top-level key in the JSON response if any server configuration was required. The actionid can be used to track the status of the Action.

Possible values of Action status

Status Description
success Action was completed successfully.
open Action has not completed yet.
error Action has completed but there were errors.
