Announcing API v2.0 (Beta)

For the past couple of weeks, we’ve been testing a new version of the DigitalOcean API. We’re now excited to invite you to try out our public API v2.0 beta!

What’s New?

We’ve worked on making the new API as streamlined and easy to use as possible. Some new added features include:

• A Truly RESTful API: Developers can now communicate with the API through standard HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE & HEAD.
• Improved Authentication: Users can create and authorize API tokens to provide read-only or read/write access to their account without exposing their credentials.
• OAuth Applications: As the beta progresses, third party application developers will be able to easily create and integrate their applications on top of the new API.
• Slugs: Developers can now use slugs to reference sizes, regions, domains, public SSH keys, and public images in addition to the numeric IDs.
• Pagination: Results are now paginated where applicable, making it easier to interact with large collections such as a domain with hundreds of records.
• Expanded API Coverage: The new API supports IPv6 actions, such as creating a droplet with IPv6 enabled and enabling IPv6 on existing Singapore servers. Furthermore, developers now have the ability to change their Droplet’s kernel, making upgrades using the API much more seamless.
