/ Introduction ¶
Welcome to the API documentation.
REST API V6
With the new REST API, you can manage all of your products in a RESTful way, this means that for most products we allow simple create, update, delete HTTP requests to manage this product collection.
This API provides a number of products or actions on sub-products, which we will call resources, an example of such a resource could be the Vps Backup resource, accessible at the following endpoint:
/v6/vps/{vpsName}/backups
Each resource can host a number of different actions which are accessible by different HTTP methods. Every resource action has documentation in which you can find using the panel on the left.
All requests and responses use JSON objects and arrays as data format.
Requests
Every API call can be made using HTTP request to the resource URL and the desired HTTP method. All requests should be made using the HTTPS protocol.
Methods
Method | Description |
---|---|
GET | Used for retrieving one or more resources, the response attributes can be used to modify the resource. |
POST | Used for creating new resources, see the documentation for the required and optional attributes. |
PUT | Used for updating a resource with new data, all existing data will be removed. |
PATCH | Used for partially updating a resource or calling a resource action like reverting a backup. |
DELETE | Used for deleting resources. |
If a GET action specifies request attributes, these could be put behind the URL using the http query syntax like:
?tags=test
Responses
Every response uses an HTTP status code, indicating the success or failure of your request.
HTTP statuses
In general, when a request succeeds, a 2xx HTTP status code is returned.
Code | Reason | Description |
---|---|---|
200 | OK | GET request succeeded. |
201 | Created | Resource is created using a POST request. The response contains an empty body. |
204 | No content | PUT, PATCH or DELETE request succeeded. The response contains an empty body. |
In case of an error, the following status codes could be returned.
Code | Reason | Description |
---|---|---|
400 | Bad Request | The API version or URL is invalid. |
401 | Unauthorized | There is something wrong with your authentication |
403 | Forbidden | You don’t have the necessary permissions to perform an operation. |
404 | Not Found | A resource was not found. |
405 | Method Not Allowed | You’re using an HTTP method on a resource which does not support it. |
406 | Not Acceptable | One or more required parameters are missing in the request. |
408 | Request Timeout | The request gets a timeout. |
409 | Conflict | Modification is not permitted at the moment. E.g. when a VPS is locked. |
422 | Unprocessable Entity | The input attributes are invalid, e.g. malformed JSON. |
429 | Too Many Request | The rate limit is exceeded. |
500 | Internal Server Error | There is a server error. |
501 | Not Implemented | The endpoint is not implemented. |
Links
GET requests may include additional links that can be used to navigate to related resources or pages.
Pages
Some resources allow pagination on their list requests. These would be GET request without a resource identifier, like /vps
or /domains
.
The default page size is unlimited. On the resources that support pagination, you can override this by setting using the pageSize
parameter.
For example: /vps?pageSize=100
When pagination is used, the following links will be shown:
-
first: The first page of the result set.
-
previous: The previous page of the result set.
-
next: The next page of the result set.
-
last: The last page of the result set.
These links will only be set when applicable. E.g. when the current page is the last, no ‘next’ and ‘last’ links will be present.
For example, the links section in a response for the first page could look like this:
{
"_links": {
"pages": [
{
"rel": "next",
"link": "https://api.transip.nl/v6/domains?pageSize=25&page=2"
},
{
"rel": "last",
"link": "https://api.transip.nl/v6/domains?pageSize=25&page=9"
}
]
}
}
Related resources
Responses of GET requests with an identifier may return additional links to related resources.
For example, when retrieving info about a domain, the following links will be rendered:
{
"_links": [
{
"rel": "self",
"link": "https://api.transip.nl/v6/domains/example.com"
},
{
"rel": "branding",
"link": "https://api.transip.nl/v6/domains/example.com/branding"
},
{
"rel": "contacts",
"link": "https://api.transip.nl/v6/domains/example.com/contacts"
},
{
"rel": "dns",
"link": "https://api.transip.nl/v6/domains/example.com/dns"
},
{
"rel": "nameservers",
"link": "https://api.transip.nl/v6/domains/example.com/nameservers"
},
{
"rel": "actions",
"link": "https://api.transip.nl/v6/domains/example.com/actions"
}
]
}
Authentication
In order to authenticate a request we make use of access tokens. These access tokens make use of the JSON Web Token standard.
To get an access token, you should first generate a key pair using the control panel. Then download the PHP authentication class, and put in your login username and private key.
You can also do this process manually by sending an HTTP POST request to ’https://api.transip.nl/v6/auth’ with a body containing your login and a nonce (any random string), and a signature header. The signature header should consist of a sha512 asn.1 hash of the full request body, sign using a private key that was generated in the control panel and base64 encode the generated signature.
Steps to create a signature
-
json encode the request body (example request body below)
-
sign the json encoded request body (openssl dgst -sha512 -sign)
-
base64 encode the signature that openssl generated
-
make a request to ’https://api.transip.nl/v6/auth’ with the header and body like the examples below
Example signature header
Signature: W+alqMNFaKxNjRpRzGcjrk5q1PXf50usve85PMHqXDPcDZTmZksVkqAFyR30XtJAXELbg2bukUrckPe7fBR10LvMY55cCHLfKf4sA6tpC8Ck5HcT7uLN27XGiJH3i2oDe/Kb93pU2q9kP+vDIQYJX28xFEHWOibXYgcMksHSH3YiyCWcBiQFS65Jsg5M/XhyU3qMISD7icHmk7/WPw1tSYGiMqJZVjaovIqzskXQcu5iC22wZA+5evj3rlSPj9UGZsDjg+TdP69gGJ2y4nrG3qbM2BhMpUs4E3FDHJW1ZZ3VUko0rwfBBoltAT94NQrA5LCP6pXLyA9eszyouBs8ywQ==
Example request body
{
"login": "test-user",
"nonce": "98475920834",
"read_only": false,
"expiration_time": "30 minutes",
"label": "add description",
"global_key": true
}
Setting the property global_key
to false will generate a token that can only be used by whitelisted IP’s
Access tokens have a default expiration time of 30 minutes.
You can override this by setting the expiration_time
property.
This has a maximum of 1 month.
The following example values are valid for the expiration_time
property:
-
3600 seconds
-
120 minutes
-
1 hour
-
48 hours
-
1 day
-
15 days
-
1 week
-
4 weeks
You can add a custom name to your access tokens by setting the label
property.
All your active access tokens can be managed in the control panel. You can revoke your tokens and generate new ones.
Use a header containing your access token in every request:
Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImp0aSI6ImN3MiFSbDU2eDNoUnkjelM4YmdOIn0.eyJpc3MiOiJhcGkudHJhbnNpcC5ubCIsImF1ZCI6ImFwaS50cmFuc2lwLm5sIiwianRpIjoiY3cyIVJsNTZ4M2hSeSN6UzhiZ04iLCJpYXQiOjE1ODIyMDE1NTAsIm5iZiI6MTU4MjIwMTU1MCwiZXhwIjoyMTE4NzQ1NTUwLCJjaWQiOiI2MDQ0OSIsInJvIjpmYWxzZSwiZ2siOmZhbHNlLCJrdiI6dHJ1ZX0.fYBWV4O5WPXxGuWG-vcrFWqmRHBm9yp0PHiYh_oAWxWxCaZX2Rf6WJfc13AxEeZ67-lY0TA2kSaOCp0PggBb_MGj73t4cH8gdwDJzANVxkiPL1Saqiw2NgZ3IHASJnisUWNnZp8HnrhLLe5ficvb1D9WOUOItmFC2ZgfGObNhlL2y-AMNLT4X7oNgrNTGm-mespo0jD_qH9dK5_evSzS3K8o03gu6p19jxfsnIh8TIVRvNdluYC2wo4qDl5EW5BEZ8OSuJ121ncOT1oRpzXB0cVZ9e5_UVAEr9X3f26_Eomg52-PjrgcRJ_jPIUYbrlo06KjjX2h0fzMr21ZE023Gw
Rate limit
The rate limit for this API uses a sliding window of 15 minutes. Within this window, a maximum of 1000 requests can be made per user.
Every request returns the following headers, indicating the number of requests made within this window, the amount of requests remaining and the reset timestamp.
X-Rate-Limit-Limit: 1000
X-Rate-Limit-Remaining: 650
X-Rate-Limit-Reset: 1485875578
When this rate limit is exceeded, the response contains an error with HTTP status code: 429: Too many requests
.
Test mode
In test mode every GET
request is allowed, but all modification requests are fake, they are validated, but the actual modification is skipped.
This means that you are able to test your api calls without doing any modification to your production environment.
There are two different ways to test the api, you could use our test mode token or you could provide a test parameter using your own token (and thus play with your own data).
Demo token
If you use the following authorization header, you authenticate yourself as the demo user in test mode.
Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImp0aSI6ImN3MiFSbDU2eDNoUnkjelM4YmdOIn0.eyJpc3MiOiJhcGkudHJhbnNpcC5ubCIsImF1ZCI6ImFwaS50cmFuc2lwLm5sIiwianRpIjoiY3cyIVJsNTZ4M2hSeSN6UzhiZ04iLCJpYXQiOjE1ODIyMDE1NTAsIm5iZiI6MTU4MjIwMTU1MCwiZXhwIjoyMTE4NzQ1NTUwLCJjaWQiOiI2MDQ0OSIsInJvIjpmYWxzZSwiZ2siOmZhbHNlLCJrdiI6dHJ1ZX0.fYBWV4O5WPXxGuWG-vcrFWqmRHBm9yp0PHiYh_oAWxWxCaZX2Rf6WJfc13AxEeZ67-lY0TA2kSaOCp0PggBb_MGj73t4cH8gdwDJzANVxkiPL1Saqiw2NgZ3IHASJnisUWNnZp8HnrhLLe5ficvb1D9WOUOItmFC2ZgfGObNhlL2y-AMNLT4X7oNgrNTGm-mespo0jD_qH9dK5_evSzS3K8o03gu6p19jxfsnIh8TIVRvNdluYC2wo4qDl5EW5BEZ8OSuJ121ncOT1oRpzXB0cVZ9e5_UVAEr9X3f26_Eomg52-PjrgcRJ_jPIUYbrlo06KjjX2h0fzMr21ZE023Gw
Test parameter
By providing the test parameter on any of your requests you can use the test mode while you are authenticated as your own user.
To give you an example, when you request a DELETE
on a vps with the following url /v6/vps/test-vps2?test=1 the actual delete is skipped. The same goes for any other type of modification.
Order requests
Some API calls, as the pre-generated would automatically be accepted, will generate an invoice. In case direct debit is activated on the customer account associated with the API key, payment will occur at a later stage. This is mostly the case with products and add-ons with automatic provisioning. In order to prevent accidental orders, each API call that generates an invoice has a warning outlined below its description in this API documentation.

Branding ¶
TransIP allows for multiple ways to whitelabel domains. Among others, this includes changing ‘banners’ shown in the WHOIS. For example, for some TLDs, the company name and URL can be specified.
Aside from this, you can place your .nl domain names in a whitelabel account so the registrar for .nl domain names is changed to a neutral name.

This option is only supported for certain TLDs (like .be and .eu), where the registries do not provide direct access to the auth codes. For all other TLDs, you can use the GET method to instantly retrieve the code.
- domainName
string
(required) Example: example.comDomain name
Whois ¶
This is the API endpoint for executing whois domain lookups.
Curl example
curl -X GET \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer [your JSON web token]" \
"https://api.transip.nl/v6/domains/example.com/whois"
Request headers
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer [your JSON web token]
Response headers
Content-Type: application/json

}
Get WHOIS information for a domain name
GET/domains/{domainName}/whois
This method will return the WHOIS information for a domain name.
- domainName
string
(required) Example: example.comDomain name

Whitelabel ¶
Whitelabel accounts are used in order to hide the TransIP registrar details in a WHOIS lookup for a domain name. When a domain name is registered under a whitelabel account, the registrar will be an alternative whitelabel company, not offering domain name registration services on its own.
Whitelabel accounts are charged at an additional rate. Already registered domain names will be registered again, as they’re technically transfered to the new whitelabel registrar. This means existing domain names are charged in order to add them to your whitelabel account (though at a discounted rate).
Currently, TransIP’s whitelabeling service is available exclusively for .nl
domains.
Curl example
curl -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer [your JSON web token]" \
"https://api.transip.nl/v6/whitelabel"
Request headers
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer [your JSON web token]
Response headers
Content-Type: application/json
Response body
{
"error": "You already have a whitelabel account."
}
Order a whitelabel account
POST/whitelabel
Order a whitelabel account from the API. Note that you do not need to order a whitelabel account for every registered domain name.
Please check the TransIP control panel to view the cost for a whitelabel account.
Warning: This API call will create an invoice!
Availability ¶
Check availability for domain names.
Response can be ‘inyouraccount’, ‘unavailable’, ‘notfree’, ‘free’, ‘internalpull’ or ‘internalpush’.
-
inyouraccount: The domain name is already in your account;
-
unavailable: The domain name is currently unavailable and can not be registered due to unknown reasons. In most cases, this has to do with registry policy (eg. the domain name is too short);
-
notfree: The domain name has already been registered;
-
free: The domain name is available and can be registered;
-
internalpull: The domain name is currently registered at TransIP and is available to be pulled from another account to yours;
-
internalpush: The domain name is currently registered at TransIP in your account and is available to be pushed to another account.

Clone a VPS
POST/vps
Use this API call in order to clone an existing VPS. There are a few things to take into account when you want to clone an existing VPS to a new VPS:
-
If the original VPS (which you’re going to clone) is currently locked, the clone will fail;
-
Cloned control panels can be used on the VPS, but as the IP address changes, this does require you to synchronise the new license on the new VPS (licenses are often IP-based);
-
If you choose a target product name and such product doesn’t have enough disk space to fit the current VPS, the clone will fail;
-
You cannot clone a PerformanceVPS or BladeVPS to a SandboxVPS;
-
Possibly, your VPS has its network interface(s) configured using (a) static IP(‘s) rather than a dynamic allocation using DHCP. If this is the case, you have to configure the new IP(‘s) on the new VPS. Do note that this is not the case with our pre-installed control panel images;
-
VPS add-ons such as Big Storage aren’t affected by cloning - these will stay attached to the original VPS and can’t be swapped automatically
Warning: As cloning is a paid service, an invoice will be generated
- vpsName
The vps name of the VPS to clone.
- targetProductName
Name of the product used by the cloned VPS
- availabilityZone
The name of the availability zone where the clone should be created

Get VNC data for a VPS
GET/vps/{vpsIdentifier}/vnc-data
Get the location, token and password in order to connect directly to the VNC console of your VPS.
Please note, you cannot directly connect to the proxy using a VNC client, use a client that supports websockets like https://github.com/novnc/noVNC
Use the information as URL query parameters, or use the URL in the url parameter directly. Then enter the password. See the link below for an example of how to provide URL query parameters to a hosted novnc instance.
By default novnc understands the following url parameters:
-
host the host hosting the vnc proxy, this should be
vncproxy.transip.nl
-
path the path to request on the host,
websockify?token=YOURTOKEN
-
password the vnc password
-
autoconnect whether or not to start connecting once you loaded the page
An example of all parameters together in one url would be https://novnc.com/noVNC/vnc.html?host=vncproxy.transip.nl&path=websockify?token=esco024gzqwyeeb5nexayi2gve09paw9dytumyxqzurxj5t642o5p6myzisn5gch&password=fVpTyDrhMiuYBXxn&autoconnect=true
Warning: We do recommend running novnc locally or hosting your own novnc page, this way you can make sure your token and password remain private.

Upgrade a VPS
POST/vps/{vpsIdentifier}/upgrades
This API call allows you to upgrade a VPS by name and productName.
It’s not possible to downgrade a VPS, as most upgrades cannot be deallocated due to technical reasons (data loss when shrinking the disk space).
Your current add-ons will be transferred to your selected package. Add-ons that have become redundant are automatically cancelled and you only pay for add-ons that you need after an upgrade. So, if you have a BladeVPS X1 with an additional 100GB disk space Add-on then it will automatically expire after an upgrade to a BladeVPS X4.
Warning: This API call will create an invoice for the upgrade.

Install an operating system on a VPS
POST/vps/{vpsIdentifier}/operating-systems
With this method you can install operating systems and preinstalled images on a VPS.
A notable feature is the ability to specify if the installation should be unattended using the base64InstallText
parameter, allowing for automatic deployment of operating systems.
Provide an installFlavour to choose whether a operating system should be deployed with a regular installer or a preinstalled cloudinit image. Check the GET operating-systems function to see what flavours are available for you operating system.
When choosing installer
the base64InstallText
will be interpreted as a preseed or kickstart file, when choosing cloudinit
it will be interpreted as cloudinit UserData.
SSHKeys are optional for a cloudinit
installation, when no keys are provided a OneTimePassword will be generated and emailed to you.
Provide a license to override the default license of a preinstallable
operating system. As an example, once a cPanel installation is complete, the default cPanel license will allow you to create 5 user accounts. If the cPanel Pro license is provided, the default license is replaced, and after installation you are able to create 30 user accounts.
Warning: This will create an invoice when a non-free operating system or a non-free control panel is chosen.

Upgrade block storage
POST/block-storages
With this method you are able to upgrade a blockstorage size or enable backups.
Big storages: The minimum size is 2 TiB and storage can be extended with up to maximum of 40 TiB. Make sure to use a multiple of 2 TiB. Note that 2 TiB equals 2147483648 KiB.
Fast storages: The minimum size is 10 GiB and storage can be extended with up to maximum of 10000 GiB. Make sure to use a multiple of 10 GiB. Note that 10 GiB equals 10485760 KiB.
Optionally, to create back-ups of your Block Storage, enable off-site back-ups. We highly recommend activating back-ups.
Warning: This API call will create an invoice!

Update block storage
PUT/block-storages/{blockStorageIdentifier}
This API calls allows for altering a block storage in several ways outlined below:
-
Changing the description of a Block Storage (maximum length 64);
-
One Block Storage can only be attached to one VPS at a time;
-
One VPS can have a maximum of 10 block storages attached;
-
Set the
vpsName
property to the VPS name to attach to for attaching Block Storage; -
Set the
vpsName
property to null to detach the Block Storage from the currently attached VPS.
- blockStorageIdentifier
string
(required)The identifier of the block storage (name or uuid)
- blockStorage
- name
Name of the block storage
- description
Name that can be set by customer
- productType
Block storage type
- size
Size of the block storage in kB
- offsiteBackups
Whether a block storage has backups
- vpsName
The VPS that the block storage is attached to
- status
Status of the block storage can be ‘active’, ‘attaching’ or ‘detaching’
- isLocked
Lock status of the block storage, when it is locked, it cannot be attached or detached.
- availabilityZone
The availability zone the block storage is located in
- serial
The serial of the block storage. This is a unique identifier that is visible by the vps it has been attached to. On linux servers it is visible using
udevadm info /dev/vdb
where it will be the value of ID_SERIAL. A symlink will also be created in/dev/disk-by-id/
containing the serial. This is useful if you want to map a disk inside a VPS to a block storage.
