Authenticate with public API

Use public customer API authentication without exposing IDs or internal credentials.

Panel path

  1. Management Panel
  2. Developers
  3. General API
  4. Token / login contract

Prerequisites

  • API credential is generated by the user and stored like a secret.
  • Login/API output does not unnecessarily print user id, account id, or token.
  • Examples and screenshots do not use real email/token values.

Step-by-step guide

1

Open API auth documentation

General API explains the login and token usage contract.

  • Open General API from Developers.
  • Read auth header and endpoint details.

Expected result: The user understands the public API entry point and safe token use.

cdnctl equivalent 
cdnctl login --email "<email>" --password "<password>"
2

Run scoped API call

Account APIs must be limited to selected/owned account UUIDs.

  • Pass token as an environment variable.
  • Fetch owned account list.
  • Access with another account UUID should return 403/404.

Expected result: API returns only assets the user is authorized to see.

cdnctl equivalent 
export CDN_ACCESS_TOKEN=<token>
cdnctl accounts list

Verification

  • Token and user ids are not visible in help.
  • Public API ownership boundary is preserved.
  • AI agents receive only required token/account data.

Use cases

A developer wants to call account-scoped endpoints from a script.

Quick workflow

  1. Get token through approved public login.
  2. Store token securely.
  3. Call scoped endpoint with account UUID.
  4. Handle JSON errors.

Checks

  • No user ID or account ID is returned in login examples.
  • HTTP status and message are preserved.
  • Token is not printed in help examples.
