Discover how Dropbox streamlined dev environments & cut costs by switching 1000 developers to Coder

Read the success story

To help you integrate Coder into your automated workflows, we've documented our API.

Authentication

Use of the API requires authentication with a session token. You can generate one using the Coder CLI:

  1. If you haven't already, authenticate your CLI with your workspace.

  2. Run coder tokens create <TOKEN_NAME>

  3. Save the token that's returned to use in your HTTP headers:

    curl \
    -X GET "https://apidocs.coder.com/api/" \
    -H "accept: application/json" \
    -H "Session-Token: Bk...nt"
    

Documentation

Please note that the API is under active development; expect breaking changes as we finalize the endpoints. We will place stable API routes under the /api/v1 path.
