invapi.hostkey.com control panels API documentation¶
We have developed an API to manage all our services. It offers full functionality to daily operations and integrations.
Information
Control panel invapi.hostkey.com is built on top of this API.
Key Features:
- Search: Search for the server by IP, hostname, location, and tag
- Order: order standard servers and receive access details in 10-30 minutes
- Power management: reboot, power on/off, read sensors and power status
- Networking: view network settings, enable/disable NICs, block/unblock specific IPs. Set DNS RRs.
- Reinstalls: perform fully automated reinstalls for standard OS: Centos, Ubuntu, Debian, and Windows Server. SSH keys, post-install scripts, and HTTP callbacks are supported.
- IPMI access: get raw access to the server IPMI, create network pass-through with admin user and manage server directly via a standard DRAC or IPMI interface with HTML5 or Java console
- Console access: one-click access to HTML5 or Java server console without installing anything locally
- ISO library access: server may be booted directly from one of our ISO images for installation or troubleshooting
- Remote hands requests: one-click experience to create remote hands requests to check your server or other common tasks
- Billing operations: top-up account directly, pay bills directly from the panel. Request cancellations.
- Statistics: View traffic usage graphs per interface or specific IP. View server performance metrics with the monitoring agent installed.
- Tags: setup own tags/values for a server, perform search operations, access these tags via API to keep server states and other server-related data like your billing ID
- Coming soon: hourly billing, create your own users with various permissions, allocate budget limits to users, post-payment for verified customers, server monitoring with notifications. Private IP blocks management.
API Requests¶
All requests must be made over the HTTPS protocol to ensure transaction encryption.
Unless otherwise specified, all requests should use the POST method.
API examples format¶
Examples in this documentation are described using a command line HTTP client curl. On computers with Linux and MacOS curl are usually installed by default, and it is available for loading on all popular platforms, including Windows.
Each example is divided into several lines with a symbol of \, which is compatible with bash. A typical example looks like this:
POST request example:
The parameter -X sets the request method. For consistency, the method will be indicated in all examples, even if it is clearly not required for GET methods.
Examples for which the JSON object is required in the body of the request, transmit the required data through the --data parameter.
The response to requests takes place in JSON format and is formatted in the documentation for habitability.
Attention
To use the API at the beginning, you need to get an session token. This can be done using API calls auth/login or auth/whmcslogin
Note
To use the above examples, without substituting your token each time, you can add a token once to the environment variables in your console. For example, on Linux this can be done using a command:
After that, the token will be automatically substituted in your requests.
Note
Please note that all values in this documentation are examples. Do not rely on identifiers of operating systems, tariffs, etc., used in examples. Use your values of servers/networks/domains to obtain values or before creating resources.
Authorization using an API key¶
To utilize the API, you must first acquire a session token. This can be achieved by making an API call to auth/login, after obtaining an API key in Invapi, or through the call api_keys/add.
A session token can also be obtained through the auth/whmcslogin call using the account login and password.
To access both the entire account and a specific server, you can obtain authorization through an API key by making a call to auth/login. If the key is found in the database and authorization is successful, the system will return the session token $HOSTKEY_TOKEN.
The token's authority will apply to the entire account if using a shared key or only to a specific server if using a per-server key. This method enables automatic server management and ordering services through our API without requiring login credentials or interactive 2FA verification.
Working with API keys using api_keys calls¶
To work with API calls and obtain an API key, you will need a session token. The session token can be obtained through the auth/whmcslogin call and is valid for one hour by default. After obtaining the session token, we recommend generating an API key for your account and using it to work with the API. To receive the session token, use the auth/login call.

Authorization¶
| Resource | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| auth.php | login | obtain a session token via API KEY |
| auth.php | whmcslogin | obtain a session token from a login/password pair |
| auth.php | logout | session token removal |
| auth.php | info | obtain complete equipment data |
| eq.php | set_pin | set/change PIN Code |
| eq.php | check_pin | validate entered PIN |
auth/login¶
Allows you to obtain a session token using an account or server API key.
Note
The most important data is the token (hereafter $HOSTKEY_TOKEN in the examples). All information about the token data and permissions is stored on the API server, the rest of the data helps to build the right web interface for a particular role.
The token is normally valid for 2 hours, if a different token lifetime is required, it can be specified in seconds using the ttl parameter. If the token is requested again within this time, a valid token will be returned. The token is usually bound to the user's IP if not required - the binding can be removed with the fix_ix=0 parameter. If the token is bound to the IP and the IP changes, the system will generate an error and it will be necessary to get the token again.
HTTP method - POST
| Parameter | Required | Type | Value/default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| action | * | string | login | Main action - obtains an access token |
| key | * | string | API access key | |
| ttl | int | 7200 | session duration in seconds, default is 7200 (2 hours) |

auth/whmcslogin¶
Allows you to obtain a session token by pairing your account login and password.
HTTP method - POST
Note
Authorization by login/password pair is performed for the entire account and all its servers. If authorization is successful, the system returns a session token $HOSTKEY_TOKEN. You can bind the session token to a specific IP address, then you must retrieve it when logging in from a different IP.
Attention
If you have 2FA enabled, this call will send a request to your 2FA device and you will need to enter an access code.
| Parameter | Required | Type | Value/default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| action | * | string | whmcslogin | main action - to obtain a session token |
| user | * | string | billing login | |
| password | * | string | billing password | |
| fix_ip | int | fix_ip=0 - do not bind token to address, fix_ip=1 - bind | ||
| ttl | int | 10800 | session duration in seconds, default is 3600 (1 hour) |

PIN codes¶
We are trying to keep our customer's servers safe, even in case of data leaks on the user's devices. The system will ask for a PIN for every critical server's operation.
The PIN is a short password to keep equipment safe and should not be stored anywhere. We could only reset it via manual support request after extra security verification.
Note
- PIN's hashes are stored very separately from our billing and inventory databases.
- Most of the management functions will not work without or with an empty PIN. It should be set once.
eq/set_pin¶
Allows you to set/change the client PIN.
HTTP method - POST/GET
| Parameter | Required | Type | Value/default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| action | * | string | set_pin | main action - set/change PIN for the user |
| token | * | string | session token | |
| old_pin | if modified | int | old PIN code | |
| new_pin | * | int | new PIN code |
POST-request, cURL

eq/check_pin¶

HTTP method - POST/GET
| Parameter | Required | Type | Value/default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| action | * | string | check_pin | main action - validate entered PIN |
| token | * | string | session token | |
| old_pin | if modified | int | PIN code |

Instant Server Ordering Algorithm with eq/order_instance¶
-
Generate a client API key;
-
Choose the location for server ordering from the following options: NL/US/FI/DE/IS/TR (Netherlands, USA, Finland, Germany, Iceland, and Turkey);
-
To determine the ID of the preset to deploy, use the presets/list prompt.
This ID will be used further as
instance_idorpreset. For example, if"id": 108, the values areinstance_id=108andpreset=108; -
Using the os/list query, determine the
os_idof the operating system to be installed, using the instance ID from step 3. For example, for Ubuntu 22.04, this value will be returned in the query response as"id": 187;Note
To deploy the server without installing an operating system, simply specify the
own_os=1parameter at a later time. -
Use the software/list query to determine the deployable software for a given instance and get its ID (hereafter parameter
soft_id). For example, for CMS Wodrpress the query output will be"id": 20;Note
If desired, the software can be installed during deployment or at a later time.
-
Use the [traffic_plans/list] query to get the network traffic plan ID for your server. For example, for a
3Tb traffic (1Gbps) VM plan, the call will return the value"id": 25; -
Obtain the session token
$HOSTKEY_TOKENby making a request to auth/login. -
To order the server, insert the data obtained in steps 2-7 into the eq/order_instance request. Make sure to specify your PIN code (if you haven't set it yet, do so via the eq/set_pin request), root password, and deploy period (monthly, quarterly, 6 months, or yearly). You can choose to receive deployment notifications by mail by setting
deploy_notifytotrue(recommended).
In the eq/order_instance call, you have the option to specify additional parameters.
Here is an example of how to order a server with Wordpress (id=20) on Debian 11 (id=180):

Positive response
Upon receiving the request, INVAPI will select/create the appropriate server at a specific location and proceed with its deployment. Prior to any installation, a credit check will be performed (if autopayments from credit is set) or a payment invoice will be issued. If the installation is successful, the new server will be associated with the customer's account. The customer will be notified by email if requested. All paid licenses will be added to the order as add-ons.
Note
Incompatible operating systems and software will result in an error message similar to this:
{
"result": -1,
"error": "reinstall: extra software Odoo (#49) is not compatible with Ubuntu 22.04"
}
To select a different operating system, set a different os_id parameter.
Attention
You may begin using the server once you receive notification of its deployment completion via email or when the server's status changes to Active in the My Servers section of the Invapi control panel . If there is a failure during the server deployment process, you will be notified via email. Please note that deployment may take 20 minutes or longer.
To track the deployment and its status, use asynchronous actions. You can obtain the deploy key by executing the eq/update_servers call.
The installation will be considered successful once you receive an asynchronous action message like this:
Reinstall server using eq/order_instance.¶
To reinstall the server, follow the same steps as for ordering, but include the additional parameter id - the ID of the server to be reinstalled from Invapi - and omit some of the other parameters in eq/order_instance call. You have the option to select a different operating system and pre-installed software, or perform a "clean slate" reinstallation by setting the own_os=1 parameter.

Notable equipment tags¶
- ipmi - The server has an IPMI/DRAC/ILO/etc. managing interface. This does not necessarily mean it can be automatically deployed, but some management tasks will be easier to perform;
- hwraid - The server has a hardware RAID controller installed or identical feature integrated into motherboard. If you want to use this feature, automatic deployment will not be possible, as RAID controller configuration is done by our operations team, usually within the next business day;
- no_autodeploy - This server can not be deployed using our automation tools. Like with hardware raid setup, it will require involvement of our operations team and will be done during the next business day.
Creating a stock server deployment order¶
To order a stock server, use the eq/order_instance call with the ID of the stock server.
Related endpoints¶
- os/list - list appropriate OS's for a given server;
- traffic_plans/list - list appropriate traffic plans for a given server;
- jenkins/get_tasks - list available post-install tasks;
- eq/order_instance - order specific instance/stock server (asynchronous action);

Reinstall the operating system on the server (second option)¶
This reinstall option is used for servers that failed to reinstall using the first method.
We are using Foreman to deploy servers via PXE network boot. The installation process goes in several stages:
- Create reinstall stage key (optional) via eq/reinstall;
- Create PXE config with parameters via eq/create_pxe;
- Change server boot order via eq/bootdev. It should run from PXE;
- Reboot the server via eq/reboot;
- The server will
catchthe PXE bootloader and OS installation will go on; - OS will report installation stages during install progress:
- 1st stage: OS installation was started;
- 2nd stage: base OS was installed, proceed with post-install tasks;
- 3rd stage: Post-install tasks are completed, running final tasks;
- 4th stage: Install is completed, restarting the server;
- 5th stage: The server is online;
- After installing the operating system, you should change the boot order via eq/bootdev. The server must boot from the HDD;
- Run extra Jenkins task on a server (i.e. install GPU drivers);
- Remove PXE config via eq/clear_pxe. This action will prevent a sudden reinstallation.
| Resource | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| eq.php | reinstall | create master key for reinstall OS |
| os.php | list | get a list of OS for a server |
| jenkins.php | list | retrieve available Ansible tasks |
| eq.php | create_pxe | create PXE config for OS install |
| eq.php | boot_dev | set boot order for VM or bare-metal server |
| eq.php | reboot | reboot server |
eq/reinstall¶
Allows you to create a $REINSTALL_KEY master key for reinstalling the operating system.
Note
If we need to automate the whole reinstall process, we will need a master key to keep track of different actions. All stage alerts from the OS installer go to this key. As the OS install goes on, it will report stages via async responses via this key. This key will be required for eq/create_pxe.
HTTP method - POST
| Parameter | Required | Type | Value/default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| action | string | reinstall | main action - create master key for reinstall | |
| token | * | string | session token | |
| id | * | int | server ID |
POST-request, cURL
Positive response
Note
For information on all steps of the reinstallation process, call eq_callback/check.
eq_callback/check¶
Get information about all stages of reinstalling the operating system.
HTTP method - POST
| Parameter | Required | Type | Value/default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| action | string | check | main action - get information about the stage of the OS reinstallation | |
| reinstall_key | string | $REINSTALL_KEY from eq/reinstall to track reinstallation steps |
POST-request, cURL
Positive response
{
"result":"Stage", // Informative message about the progress of the installation process
"scope":" (1\/5) OS installation started", // Stage information
"context":{"action":"reinstall","id":"42253","location":"NL"}, // Installation information (main action, server ID, and location)
"key":"aa719bfc59c3626c059950c1dcb4dbfa" // $REINSTALL_KEY
}
Actions to take before starting the OS installation¶
Before we start with reinstall, some mandatory information should be collected:
-
Get the list of operating systems that can be installed by calling os_list
Attention
You will also need to select a host name and password before starting the reinstallation.
-
Select disk partitioning scheme:
- LVM_RAID0 - create stripe across all disks via LVM;
- LVM_HBA - install OS on the smallest device, let the rest untouched, applicable if there are more than 1 storage device;
- LVM_RAID1 - create disk mirror via LVM, applicable if there are two similar storage devices;
- LVM_RAID10 - create LVM RAID10 across all storage device pairs, minimum 2 pairs of devices required;
- LVM_RAID10S - create LVM RAID1 on smallest storage devices pairs for OS, create LVM RAID10 on rest of storage devices pars.
-
Prepare a Public ssh key if you want to set your SSH key for admin login.
-
Think about Post-install tasks - standardized Ansible tasks that can be run on the server after installation via Jenkins. You can get a list of them by calling jenkins/get_tasks.
jenkins/get_tasks¶
This will retrieve all possible Ansible tasks with its tags. You could load this data in JS variables and show it for appropriate servers - checking by tags.
HTTP method - POST
| Parameter | Required | Type | Value/default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| action | * | string | get_tasks | main action - retrieve available Ansible tasks |
Possible tags:
- gpu - task is suitable for GPU servers;
- bm - task is suitable for bare-metal server;
- vm - task is suitable for VM (VPS);
- vgpu - task is suitable for vGPU server;
- default - default value.

Post-install script - the piece of bash/PS code to be executed on the first run in fresh OS. Useful for automation to include a new server to the managed infrastructure.
Post-install callback URL - URL which will be called from the fresh server after installation. Useful for billing purposes.
As we have all data ready, we could try to create a PXE config for OS install
eq/create_pxe¶
Create PXE config for OS install.

After successful change of boot order we should reboot server via call eq/reboot.
The system will reboot and start loading from PXE. After the OS installer is loaded, you will see stage notifications - it could be retrieved with the main reinstall key from eq/reinstall and call eq_callback/check.
If eq_callback/check have got result OK, this means server is online and reinstall is completed. After we will retrieve this value, reinstall key will be removed from database.
Now you need to perform post-installation tasks:
- Reboot from disk calling eq/boot_dev with parameter
media=disk

Server tags¶
We keep auxiliary and temporary information about servers and their components in tags. Tags may be assigned to any server's element. Some tags are visible to the end-user, some are not.
| Resource | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| tags.php | list | gets all tags for the server |
| tags.php | add | add a tag to the server or change existing tag |
| tags.php | remove | removes a tag for a server |
| tags.php | user_search | find the servers with tags |
Note
The tag could be mounted to the server itself, or its CPU, or NIC or IP address - any DB component. The customer could assign their own tags to servers via API (and web interface). It's possible to search for tags, change or remove them.
It may be useful to keep some automation data, user settings, or application states in tags.

Asynchronous actions¶
Some operation with the servers could take a long. Many API calls will return async key when called.
Step 1 Example request to power on the server cURL¶
POST-request, cURL
curl -s "https://invapi.hostkey.com/eq.php" -X POST \
--data "action=on" \
--data "token=$HOSTKEY_TOKEN" \
--data "id={Server ID} \
--data "pin={PIN code}"
Positive response
It means what async request was successfully sent, async key to keep track of it is f685eaa0f06e47faa2e6bb5002828b00.
Step 2 You could track state of the request:¶
POST-request, cURL
curl -s "https://invapi.hostkey.com/eq_callback.php" -X POST \
--data "action=check" \
--data "key=f685eaa0f06e47faa2e6bb5002828b00" //asynchronous key from the request to which the response is given
Uncompleted task response (Result: Not ready)
Completed task response (Result: OK)
{
"result": "OK",
"scope": "Post is on",
"context": {
"action": "on",
"id": "Serve ID",
"location": "NL"
},
"debug": "Chassis Power Control: Up/On",
"key": "f685eaa0f06e47faa2e6bb5002828b00"
}
Key description:
- scope - message to the user;
- context - JSON with initial request and some extra data. Usefull to proceed during AJAX calls;
- debug - hardware output from device;
- key - our async key. Its become deleted after successful response -
OK.
