# Vagrant Cloud API

## Using the API

Vagrant Cloud provides an API for users to interact with Vagrant Cloud for experimentation, automation, or building new features and tools on top of our existing application.

### Authentication

Some API endpoints require authentication to create new resources, update or delete existing resources, or to read a private resource.

Clients can authenticate using an authentication token.
The token can be passed to Vagrant Cloud one of two ways:

1. (Preferred) Set the `Authorization` header to `"Bearer "` and the value of the authentication token.
2. Pass the authentication token as an `access_token` URL parameter.

Examples below will set the header, but feel free to use whichever method is easier for your implementation.

-> The `X-Atlas-Token` header is also supported for backwards-compatibility.

### Request and Response Format

Requests to Vagrant Cloud which include data attributes (`POST` or `PUT`/`PATCH`) should set the `Content-Type` header to `"application/json"`, and include a valid JSON body with the request.

JSON responses may include an `errors` key, which will contain an array of error strings, as well as a `success` key.
For example:

```json
{
  "errors": [
    "Resource not found!"
  ],
  "success": false
}
```

### Response Codes

Vagrant Cloud may respond with the following response codes, depending on the status of the request and context:

#### Success

##### **200** OK
##### **201** Created
##### **204** No Content

#### Client Errors

##### **401** Unauthorized

You do not have authorization to access the requested resource.

##### **402** Payment Required

You are trying to access a resource which is delinquent on billing.
Please contact the owner of the resource so that they can update their billing information.

##### **403** Forbidden

You are attempting to use the system in a way which is not allowed.
There could be required request parameters that are missing, or one of the parameters is invalid.
Please check the response `errors` key, and double-check the examples below for any discrepancies.

##### **404** Not Found

The resource you are trying to access does not exist. This may also be returned if you attempt to access a private resource that you don't have authorization to view.

##### **422** Unprocessable Entity

##### **429** Too Many Requests

You are currently being rate-limited. Please decrease your frequency of usage, or contact us at [support+vagrantcloud@hashicorp.com](mailto:support+vagrantcloud@hashicorp.com) with a description of your use case so that we can consider creating an exception.

#### Server Errors

##### **500** Internal Server Error

The server failed to respond to the request for an unknown reason.
Please contact [support+vagrantcloud@hashicorp.com](mailto:support+vagrantcloud@hashicorp.com) with a description of the problem so that we can investigate.

##### **503** Service Unavailable

Vagrant Cloud is temporarily in maintenance mode.
Please check the [HashiCorp Status Site](http://status.hashicorp.com) for more information.

## Creating a usable box from scratch

-> This assumes that you have a valid Vagrant Cloud authentication token. You can [create one via the API](#create-a-token), or [create one on the Vagrant Cloud website](https://app.vagrantup.com/settings/security).

In order to create a usable box on Vagrant Cloud, perform the following steps:

1. [Create a new box](#create-a-box)
1. [Create a new version](#create-a-version)
1. [Create a new provider](#create-a-provider)
1. [Upload a box image for that provider](#upload-a-provider)
1. [Release the version](#release-a-version)
