Why Do APIs Matter So Much to Us?
At HorizonIQ, we really believe in the power of APIs.
APIs give developers the ability to create things that we can’t even imagine. They use our API to interact with our infrastructure, interact with our staff and interact with their servers on a programmatic basis. This flexibility is what allows businesses to move faster, automate more, and build unique digital experiences on top of our platform.
What Can You Actually Do With Our API?
Our API is very complete — it’s not just about the infrastructure that you manage – you can actually pay your bill using the API, or file a support ticket using the API. That means you can integrate your application directly into our API programmatically.
Potentially, your server could decide that it’s overloaded and spin up more servers automatically. It could notice a problem with one of your applications and open a support ticket for us to go and take a look. You could even build internal dashboards that show real-time infrastructure health, bandwidth usage, and costs without ever logging into our portal.
How Does a Single API Simplify Operations?
Having a single API makes it easier to deploy the right kind of resources for any need, without having to integrate with multiple different vendors’ APIs. This means less time integrating and coding, and more time focusing on the applications running on the platform.
By standardizing these interactions, you can eliminate complexity, cut down on errors, and give your DevOps teams a single, unified interface for provisioning and managing infrastructure across regions.
What Makes Our API So Developer-Friendly?
Our API is really powerful — it’s open, it’s licensed under the Creative Commons and we have many toolkits available in a variety of languages to help get you started. Whether you prefer Python, Ruby, JavaScript, or Go, you’ll find sample code, SDKs, and documentation ready to accelerate your work.
We also maintain an active developer community where engineers share use cases, offer guidance, and contribute improvements. This means you’re never starting from scratch — you can leverage existing libraries and best practices to build faster and more reliably.
How Could APIs Transform the Way You Use Infrastructure?
For teams that need to scale quickly, deploy new environments on demand, or automate responses to traffic surges, APIs are no longer optional — they’re foundational. With our API, your infrastructure becomes a programmable part of your software ecosystem, able to react instantly to user demand or operational events.
