# VPS.org API Integration Guide for Continue

This document provides Continue with the information needed to interact
with the VPS.org cloud hosting API.

## Quick Start
1. Get API token from https://admin.vps.org/account/developers/
2. Use `Authorization: Bearer <your-token>` header in all requests
3. Base URL: https://admin.vps.org/api/v1/

## Authentication

All API requests require a Bearer token. Generate one at https://admin.vps.org/account/developers/

```
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN
```

**Base URL:** `https://admin.vps.org/api/v1/`

**Rate Limit:** 300 requests per 5 minutes per token.

**Token Format:** Tokens start with `vps_` followed by 64 hex characters. They are SHA256-hashed before storage.

**Permission System:** Tokens use `app:action` format permissions (e.g., `servers:create`, `dns:*`, `*:*` for full access).
