Introduction

API Reference

The Atlantic.Net Cloud API Tools (anc-api-tools) are a set of command line tools designed to work with Linux based systems.

To begin using the anc-api-tools, please follow the steps described below:

### Obtain your API Access Key and API Private Key
Go to https://cloud.atlantic.net and click on the "API Info" link. 
Copy the API Key value and paste it into a newly created file called anc-access.key
Copy the API Secret Private Key value and paste it into a newly created file called anc-private.key

### Download the anc-api-tools and extract to a folder of your choice.
wget -O anc-api-tools.tgz https://www.atlantic.net/docs/api/anc-api-tools_2020_09_28.tgz
tar xzf anc-api-tools.tgz
cd anc-api-tools/bin

### Set environment variables for Atlantic.Net Cloud API Tools (anc-api-tools) by entering the following in a linux terminal.
### Note: If you wish to have the values permanently set when you start a new terminal session add the below lines to your 
### ~/.bashrc if you use bash as your shell and then type source ~/.bashrc in a linux terminal.
export ANC_HOME=/path/to/where/you/extracted/anc-api-tools/ # path to anc-api-tools
export ANC_ACCESS_KEY_ID=/path/to/your/anc-access.key # your public key
export ANC_PRIVATE_KEY=/path/to/your/anc-private.key # your private key

The Atlantic.Net Cloud API https://cloudapi.atlantic.net is a RESTful query interface designed to allow users to programmatically manage Atlantic.Net Cloud services. Calls are made over the Internet by sending HTTPS requests to the Atlantic.Net Cloud API endpoint. Nearly any computer language can be used to communicate over HTTPS with the API endpoint. You may write your own API tools using the information provided here or use one of the Atlantic.Net supplied tools or libraries.

Current examples exists for cURL and Atlantic.Net Cloud API Tools (anc-api-tools). You can view code examples in the dark area to the right and you can switch the binding of the examples with the tabs in the top right.

Authentication

# Set and export your public access key
export ACCESS_KEY=your_public_access_key_here

# Set and export your private key
export PRIVATE_KEY=your_private_key_here
The anc-api-tools handle authentication for you.

Please see the Introduction section above for configuration instructions.

To make API calls you will need your API key and your API private key, which can be found in your Atlantic.Net Cloud Control Panel under the "API Info" section.

Please note that you should never share your API private key with anyone. We will never ask you for your private key in any communication. Also, never send us the API private key in any API calls you make.

Input

Certain arguments are required no matter which API method you are calling. The following table lists the required inputs. There could be other required parameters depending on the method you are calling. Please see the documentation for individual API calls below in this document for inputs required for specific methods.

Input values must be URL-encoded. This is especially necessary for the Signature input.

Required Input

Parameter Type Description
Version string Version of the API. E.g. 2010-12-30
ACSAccessKeyId string Your API Key
Format string The expected format you need the response to be in. Possible values: json, xml
Timestamp int The date and time at which the request has been signed. Normally, this would be the current time on your server posted in the unix seconds since epoch format. This input is also used to create the Signature as described in the section 'Making Secure Requests' on this page. E.g. 1293131636
Rndguid string A randomly generated sequence of characters. This input is also used to create the Signature. E.g. 6400c61a-a90d-453b-99cf-af40a16b75e2
Signature string This input is a base 64 encoded, hash of the Timestamp and Rndguid using the SHA256 implementation as described above. E.g. pHjZAShlX8MdOlrJuQxquWWvUmFdIBvTAvck4K%2B5EVQ%3D
Action string This input lets you describe the API method you wish to invoke E.g. describe-instance

Error Messages

As mentioned above certain arguments are required for all API calls. When these arguments are not supplied, error messages can be expected. Please refer to the following table that delineates the possible universal error messages.

Error Messages

Code Message
E0001 API Key not supplied
E0002 API key/Signature is invalid
E0003 No Action has been specified
E0004 Signature has not been supplied
E0005 Action requested is not valid
E0006 Version requested is not valid
E0007 Timestamp was not supplied
E0008 Random identifier that was used in signature computation was not supplied
E0017 This is possibly a replay attack or a duplicate call. This request will be ignored.
E0020 API access for your account is currently deactivated. Normally, API access is deactivated by default. Please log into the web interface to activate your API access.

Versioning

The version can be updated by setting the "ANC_VERSION" variable in the "anc-cmd" program located in anc-api-tools/bin/.

Default value is set to 2010-12-30

When we make backwards-incompatible changes to the API, we release new dated versions.

The current version is 2010-12-30

The version is not an indication of when the API was last updated with new features, but simply the versioning specification that the API methods/actions conform to.

Rate Limits

The Atlantic.Net Cloud API allows clients to make a limited number of calls per given time-frame.

Present default rate limits

Type Description Default
API Key Calls are limited by your API Key 60/minute
Originating IP Address Calls are limited by the IP Address your calls originate from 60/minute

If you require changes to these default limits, please contact support.

Making Secure Requests

### The below is an example of making a complete secure request to the API endpoint

# Set variables
version="2010-12-30"
format="json" # xml is also a valid option
action="list-instances"
base_url="https://cloudapi.atlantic.net/?"

# Create the random GUID:
random_guid=$(uuidgen -r) # uuidgen is provided by the uuid-runtime package

# Get the current unix time in seconds since epoch:
time_since_epoch=$(date +%s)

# Create the string that needs to be encoded to make the signature:
string_to_sign="${time_since_epoch}${random_guid}"

# Create a hash of the signature using sha256 and then base64 encode the sha256 hash:
signature=$(echo -n "${string_to_sign}" | openssl dgst -sha256 -hmac "${PRIVATE_KEY}" -binary | openssl enc -base64)

# URL encode the signature:
signature="$(perl -MURI::Escape -e 'print uri_escape($ARGV[0]);' "${signature}")"

# Create the full URL to call:
url="https://cloudapi.atlantic.net/?&Action=${action}&Format=${format}&Version=${version}&ACSAccessKeyId=${ACCESS_KEY}&Timestamp=${time_since_epoch}&Rndguid=${random_guid}&Signature=${signature}"

# Execute the command via curl:
curl "${url}"
The anc-api-tools handle the job of making the secure requests for you.

Please see the Introduction section above for configuration instructions. 

All requests are required to include a signature computed using a base 64 encoded, SHA256 encrypted hash generated from the request timestamp and a random GUID. The encryption needs to be done using your API private key.

We receive the signature with your request and run a similar operation at our end on the timestamp and the random GUID you sent us. This lets us verify that that you are the account holder sending the request and that the request is not a replay attack.

The API can only be accessed over the secure HTTPS protocol.
