Does Inter.link Provide an API?

Inter.link provides an API that allows customers to integrate the management of network services directly into their own systems and workflows. Inter.link develops its network automation in an API first way. This means that functionality available through the Inter.link portal is also available through the API, giving customers the choice between managing services through the portal or programmatically.

What can I do with the Inter.link API?

The Inter.link API provides programmatic access to inter.link services and platform functionality. Depending on the service and use case, customers can use the API to manage network services and integrate inter.link capabilities into their own operational processes.

The current API documentation, for example, covers service provisioning as well as functionality for reseller and customer management. This can help network and infrastructure teams reduce manual processes and incorporate connectivity into existin automation workflows.

Why does Inter.link use an API first approach?

Network services have traditionally involved manual ordering, configuration and communication. Inter.link’s API first approach is designed to make network services easier to integrate into modern infrastructure and operational workflows. Instead of treating the API as an additional interface on top of the platform, inter.link develops its network automation so that portal functionality is also accessible programmatically. This gives customers great flexibility in how they order and manage inter.link services.

Can I automate the provisioning of Inter.link services using the API?

Yes. Inter.link services can be provisioned programmatically through the API for supported services such as FlexTunnel and DDoS protection. This allows connectivity to become part of broader automated infrastructure workflows rather than relying solely on manual service provisioning.

Is the same functionality available through the portal and API?

Inter.inks API first development model means that functionality available in the portal is also available through the API. Customers can therefore choose the interface that best suits their operational model, either using the portal for direct interaction or the API to integrate inter.link functionality into their own systems and workflows.

Who is the inter.link API designed for?

The API is particularly useful for network, infrastructure and operations teams that want to integrate connectivity management into their existing systems. It can also support service providers and resellers that need to incorporate inter.link services into their own customer or operational workdlows.

Where can I find the Inter.link API documentation?

Detailed technical documentation for the Inter.link API is available through the Inter.link portal. It covers topics such as authentication, available end points and how to interact with the API. The API reference can also be accessed from the portal.
