Gcore API Overview

Gcore is a global edge-cloud and security provider with 180+ Points of Presence on six continents. Every product you see in the Gcore Product Documentation is backed by a public, REST-style API so you can automate everything you do in the Customer Portal — or build entirely new experiences of your own.

​
Why build on the API?

  • Automate routine tasks such as CDN cache purges, DNS record updates, or VM provisioning.
  • Integrate Gcore services into CI/CD pipelines, Terraform workflows, Kubernetes Operators, or custom back-office tools.
  • Monitor & react to real-time metrics or events and keep your infrastructure in a desired state.

Whether you’re shipping a simple web app or operating a multi-region SaaS platform, Gcore’s APIs give you the same programmatic control used internally by our portal and SDKs.

​
Authentication

  1. Sign in to the Customer Portal → API tokens.
  2. Create a token (optionally set an expiry or rotate it later).
  3. Send the token as an APIKey in the Authorization header:
GET https://api.gcore.com/iam/clients/me
Authorization: APIKey <YOUR_TOKEN>

The same header works for every product API.

Gcore API keys always contain a dollar sign ($). When you paste the key directly into a terminal, escape the dollar sign (\$) so your shell doesn’t treat it as the start of an environment variable.

​
Quick start (cURL)

Get detailed information about your account

curl -H "Authorization: APIKey $GCORE_TOKEN" "https://api.gcore.com/iam/clients/me"

The command should return HTTP/1.1 200 OK.
