Installation

CDN

Import library from the UNPKG CDN for fast and easy setup:

In web browser

Simply include hetzner-cloud in your html <header> tag.

<script type="module">
import * as hetznerAPI from "//unpkg.com/@raha.group/hetzner-cloud";
</script>

In web worker

In order to be able to use hetzner-cloud in web workers, you need to import the source file as an ES6 module using:

import * as hetznerAPI from "//unpkg.com/@raha.group/hetzner-cloud";

NPM registry

Use the package manager npm to install hetzner-cloud.

$ npm install @raha.group/hetzner-cloud
$ npm install node-fetch

If you want to run examples in Node.js runtime environment, you need to add below lines of code at the top of them.

import fetch from 'node-fetch';
global.fetch = fetch;

Implemented APIs

First of all you have to register your api token. To obtain an api token go to your project on Hetzner Cloud Console and navigate to access.

import {setAccessToken, Server, FloatingIP, SSHKey, Image, Volume, Network, ISO, Pricing, ServerType, Location, Datacenter, Action} from "@raha.group/hetzner-cloud";

setAccessToken('your api token');
