DigitalOcean provides several command-line interfaces (CLIs) and application programming interfaces (APIs) for managing your resources. This section provides the reference materials for these offerings, as well as resources from the open source community.

API

Programmatically manage your Droplets, Spaces, and other DigitalOcean resources using conventional HTTP requests. You can use our RESTful APIs for any action that you can perform through the control panel.

doctl CLI

Manage your DigitalOcean resources from the command line with doctl, our open-source command line interface (CLI).

Terraform

Deploy and change many resources simultaneously using the open source Terraform tool.

Libraries

Official and community-created client libraries that let you use the DigitalOcean API in a variety of programming languages.

Open Source

We use and contribute to open source software.
