CrownPanel API Overview

    CrownPanel's API allows you to manage your VPS programmatically - including actions like power control, hostname changes, snapshot management, and more.

    You can use the API with:

    • PHP scripts
    • CLI tools like curl
    • Monitoring systems
    • Custom control panels or dashboards

    Ideal for automation, integration into management panels, or performing bulk operations across multiple VPS instances.

    ⚡ Boot VPS

    Use this API to boot (power on) a VPS that is currently powered off.

    This is useful when you want to remotely start your server after it's been shut down or stopped.
