API

Complete content delivery control from any application in any language.

Overview

The KeyCDN API allows you to manage your Zones, Zone Aliases, Zone Referrers, or generate reports. This documentation provides you the required information to successfully make use of the API. The KeyCDN API is organized around REST.

Our API is designed to have predictable, resource-oriented URLs and to use HTTP response codes to indicate API errors. We use built-in HTTP features, such as HTTP authentication and HTTP terminology, which can be understood by off-the-shelf HTTP clients.

JSON will be returned in all responses from the API, including errors.

Authentication

You authenticate to the KeyCDN API by providing your API key in the request. Keep your credentials secret. Authentication to the API occurs via HTTP Basic Auth.

All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail. You must authenticate for all requests.

curl uses the -u flag to pass basic auth credentials (adding a colon after your API key will prevent it from asking you for a password). To receive data or make changes to your account, replace the example API key with your actual API key.

Example Request

                    
                        $ curl https://api.keycdn.com/zones.json \
                            -u sk_prod_zbSVNe8gVUMT4KjYcJWuyC86:
                    
                

Response Parameters

ParameterDescription
statusStatus code of the current API call.
descriptionDescription of an API call.
dataThe response data of the API call.

Example Response

                    
                        {
                            "status": "success",
                            "description": "Data successfully received.",
                            "data": {
                            ...
                            }
                        }
                    
                

Errors

KeyCDN uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate success or failure of an API request. In general, codes in the 2xx range indicate success, codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that resulted from the provided information (e.g. a required parameter was missing or invalid), and codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with KeyCDN's edge servers.

Not all errors map cleanly onto HTTP response codes.

HTTP Status Code Summary

StatusDescription
200 OKEverything worked as expected.
400 Bad RequestOften missing a required parameter.
403 ForbiddenAccess denied.
404 Not FoundThe requested item does not exist.
413 Request Entity Too LargeMaximum body size is 64 KB.
429 Too Many RequestsRate limit exceeded.
451 IllegalIllegal or malicious request.
500, 502, 503, or 504Something went wrong on KeyCDN's end.

Rate Limiting

API requests are currently rate limited at 60 queries per 60 seconds window. Purge requests are limited to 1 request per second. Ensure that you inspect the following HTTP response headers, as they provide pertinent data on where your utilization is at for the given rate limit. The calling IP will be blocked if the X-Rate-Limit-Remaining value reaches 0.

HeaderDescription
X-Rate-Limit-LimitThe rate limit ceiling for that given request.
X-Rate-Limit-RemainingThe number of requests left for the 60 seconds window.
The KeyCDN API will return an HTTP 429 Too Many Requests response status when you exceed the rate limit.

Zones API

ParameterDescription
idZone ID
nameZone name
statusZone status
typeZone type
forcedownloadForces content to download instead of opening. The following response header will be set: Content-Disposition: Attachment
corsAllow unrestricted Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS). The following response header will be set: Access-Control-Allow-Origin: \*
gzipGzip compression on content 1 KB or larger.
imgprocTransform and optimize images in real time with simple query parameters.
Image Processing incurs an additional cost.
expireAdding or modifying the Cache-Control and Expires response headers that are sent to the client if the HTTP response status code equals 200, 201, 204, 206, 301, 302, 303, 304, or 307:
-1Cache-Control: no-cache
0Push Zone: disabled
Pull Zone: as received from the origin server
>0Cache-Control: max-age=t where t is the time specified in minutes and then converted to seconds
If cacheignorecachecontrol is enabled the expire value will only have an impact on the browser cache and not on the KeyCDN cache.
blockbadbotsBlock bad bots (returns a 451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons response status).
allowemptyreferrerAllow requests with an empty Referer request header value if one or more Zone Referrer is active.
blockreferrerBlock requests with a Referer request header value matching a Zone Referrer (returns a 403 Forbidden response status).
securetokenRestrict access to all content within Zone by Secure Token.
securetokenkeySecret used to check authenticity of request if securetoken is enabled.
securetokenipThe IP of the client will be part of Secure Token if enabled.
sslcertAdd SSL/TLS certificate to be used for HTTPS requests:
sharedEnables the shared wildcard certificate to be used with the Zone URL (e.g. https://examplepull-hexid.kxcdn.com)
customEnables the custom certificate defined in customsslkey and customsslcert to be used with a Zone Alias (e.g. https://cdn.example.com)
letsencryptEnables a Let's Encrypt certificate to be used with one Zone Alias (e.g. https://cdn.example.com)
You must remove an exising Zone Alias before enabling the letsencrypt option (or recreate the Zone Alias afterwards).
customsslkeyThe custom SSL/TLS certificate private key. Include the -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- and -----END PRIVATE KEY----- statements.
customsslcertThe custom SSL/TLS certificate. The required format is PEM (Base64 encoded ASCII), which is the most common format that Certificate Authorities issue. Include the -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and -----END CERTIFICATE----- statements and optionally include the intermediate certificate:

                                                            -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
                                                            Certificate
                                                            -----END CERTIFICATE-----
                                                            -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

forcesslRedirects HTTP requests to HTTPS (returns a 301 Moved Permanently response status).
originurlURL of the origin server where content is pulled from. Include only the scheme and hostname (e.g. https://www.example.com). Do not include a file path (e.g. https://www.example.com/index.html).
originshieldPredefined shield servers will pull content from the origin server instead of our edge servers. This will reduce traffic on the origin server but adds an additional request from the edge server to the shield server if the content has not been cached yet. The following response header will be set: X-Shield: active
cachemaxexpireDefine the maximum time in minutes that cacheable content will be retained in the KeyCDN cache without checking the origin server. Applies only if not defined by the origin server X-Accel-Expires, Cache-Control, or Expires response headers.
cacheignorecachecontrolIgnores processing of X-Accel-Expires, Cache-Control, and Expires response headers received from the origin server. If enabled the cachemaxexpire value has precedence.
cacheignorequerystringIgnores the presence of query strings. The KeyCDN cache will respond with a cached response even if the query string differs.
cachehostheaderForwards the Host request header (e.g. Host: cdn.example.com) to the origin server as received from the client instead of the Host request header defined by the originurl hostname.
cachekeyschemeScheme based caching (http:// or https://) as requested by the client.
cachekeyhostHost request header based caching that matches the Zone Alias.
cachekeycookieCookie variable based caching as received in the Cookie request header.
cachekeydeviceDevice based caching (desktop, tablet, or mobile) as received in the User-Agent request header.
The default device type is desktop.
cachekeywebpWebP image format based caching as received in the Accept request header.
cachekeycountryCountry code based caching derived from the client IP address.
cachebrBrotli based caching as requested by the client.
The origin server must support the Brotli compression format.
cachecookiesIgnore the presence of cookies. By default content with cookies are not cacheable, but when cookies are ignored content becomes cacheable.
cachestripcookiesStrip the Set-Cookie response header received from the origin server.
cachexpullkeySet a custom X-Pull request header value (e.g. X-Pull: example). This is a custom request header that can serve multiple purposes, such as restricting access to the origin server or allowing all KeyCDN edge server requests through a firewall.
cachecanonicalAdd a canonical response header with the originurl as the reference to consolidate duplicate content. The following response header will be set:
                                        
                                            Link: <https://www.example.com/css/style.css>; rel="canonical"
                                        
                                    
cacherobotsAdding or modifying the robots.txt to prevent content from being indexed:
                                        
                                            User-agent: *
                                            Disallow: /
                                        
                                    
cacheerrorpagesDeliver generic error pages for 4xx and 5xx errors instead of the error pages received from the origin server.
dirlistGenerates directory indexes automatically (similar to the Unix ls command or the Win32 dir shell command).
