Overview
The Cloud API Platform provides a consistent, versioned interface for managing infrastructure, data pipelines, and identity services. It is designed for developers and technical teams who need predictable behavior, strong authentication, and clear error semantics across environments.
This documentation focuses on request/response formats, authentication flows, and endpoint behavior. Examples use standard HTTP semantics, JSON payloads, and stable resource identifiers. All endpoints are served over TLS and support idempotent operations where applicable.
Use this API when you need programmatic control over cloud resources or want to integrate operational workflows into your tooling. The platform emphasizes clarity, deterministic responses, and minimal overhead for integration.

Use API keys for server-to-server integrations or OAuth 2.0 for user-scoped access. All requests must be sent over HTTPS.
Create a key in the developer console and send it in the Authorization header.
curl -X GET "https://api.cloudplatform.dev/v1/projects" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"Use OAuth when acting on behalf of end users. Exchange the authorization code for an access token.
curl -X POST "https://auth.cloudplatform.dev/oauth/token" \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "grant_type=authorization_code" \
-d "code=<AUTH_CODE>" \
-d "client_id=<CLIENT_ID>" \
-d "client_secret=<CLIENT_SECRET>" \
-d "redirect_uri=https://app.example.com/callback"curl -X GET "https://api.cloudplatform.dev/v1/user" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"API keys and access tokens are opaque strings. Treat them as secrets and rotate regularly.
