API Reference
API Reference
The ZevCloud API lets you programmatically manage projects, services, deployments, and more.
Base URL
https://api.zevcloud.net/v1Authentication
All API requests require authentication via an API key:
curl https://api.zevcloud.net/v1/projects \
-H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_api_key"Generate API keys from Dashboard → Settings → API Keys. Keys come in three scopes — read, deploy, and full — that constrain what the key can do. See Authentication for the full scope hierarchy and the list of routes that always require interactive human auth.
API keys are scoped to a team — every operation uses the team context the key was created in. The team ID is set by the server from the key, not from a request header.
Request Format
- Content-Type:
application/json - Team ID: Automatically set from the API key. When using a ZevID identity token instead of an API key (interactive/dashboard usage), pass
x-team-id: <team-uuid>to choose which team to act on.
Response Format
All responses are JSON. Successful responses return the data directly:
{
"id": "uuid",
"name": "My Project",
"slug": "my-project"
}List endpoints return paginated data:
{
"data": [...],
"pagination": {
"page": 1,
"limit": 25,
"total": 42,
"pages": 2
}
}Error responses:
{
"statusCode": 400,
"message": "Validation failed",
"timestamp": "2026-03-28T12:00:00.000Z",
"path": "/v1/projects"
}Common auth-related status codes:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
401 | Missing, invalid, expired, or revoked credentials. Also returned when an API key’s creator has been removed from the team — the key is auto-revoked at this point. |
403 (scope) | Key’s scope is below what the route requires. Body: requires '<scope>', key has '<scope>'. Issue a new key with a higher scope. |
403 (human-only) | Route requires interactive human authentication and cannot be performed with an API key. |
Rate Limiting
| Endpoint | Limit |
|---|---|
| Most endpoints | 100 requests / minute |
| Deploy triggers | 10 / minute |
| Auth endpoints | 10 / minute |
Rate limit headers are included in every response:
X-RateLimit-LimitX-RateLimit-RemainingX-RateLimit-Reset
Endpoints
| Resource | Endpoints |
|---|---|
| Projects | CRUD for projects |
| Services | Create, manage, deploy services |
| Deployments | Trigger and monitor deployments |
| Domains | Custom domain management |
| Environment Variables | Service-scoped env vars |
