User API Access

[kala]

Hello,

We have a customer who wants to manage their services remotely using some API calls because of the large number of services they have. Is there any option in Blesta to allow such kind of access for a user which allows them to manage their services [add, terminate, list, suspend, etc ] remotely from their code using API? We would like to have some refer docs , sample code so that we can advise our customer as well.

Thanks in advance for your help.

You would need to develop this functionality into blesta, or create your own API. Currently the blesta api offers full access to all functions of blesta so your customer would have access to everything, including other customers data. Administrators do not have have granular controls on what access API users have at the endpoints, and probably never will due to the way the blesta api works.

Thank you very much Coreyman. Do you know any good place to get a good resource who is familiar with Blesta functions to develop own API if that is the only option? We would like to have this added to our system because I expect more such requests in the future from our customers. 

Thanks in advance.

You wouldn't need someone familiar with blesta functions to create the API. Just someone that is familiar creating API's. I use freelancer.com for work that I hire out.
