Exploring the GCore CDN API Docs

GCore CDN is a content delivery network offered by GCore Labs that provides enhanced performance and security for websites and mobile applications. GCore CDN offers a range of APIs to facilitate the integration of their services with your applications. In this article, we will explore its public API documentation and look at some example code in JavaScript.

Accessing the GCore CDN API Docs

To access the API documentation, simply navigate to https://docs.gcore.com/cdn in your web browser. The documentation is well-organized and makes it easy to explore the available API endpoints.

Example Code in JavaScript

GCore CDN offers APIs that allow you to manage and monitor your CDN resources programmatically. In this section, we will look at some example code in JavaScript that demonstrates how to use these APIs.

Fetching Information about CDN Resources

To fetch information about your CDN resources, you can use the GET /api/v1/http-caches endpoint. This endpoint returns a list of HTTP caches for your account. Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates how to fetch this data using JavaScript:

fetch('https://api.gcdn.co/v1/http-caches', {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + <your_access_token>
  }
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data));

Replace <your_access_token> with your actual access token.

Purging Cached Content

To purge a file from the CDN cache, you can use the DELETE /api/v1/http-caches endpoint. Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates how to purge a file using JavaScript:

fetch('https://api.gcdn.co/v1/http-caches', {
  method: 'DELETE',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + <your_access_token>
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    url: 'https://example.com/path/to/file.jpg'
  })
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data));

Replace <your_access_token> with your actual access token, and replace the URL with the URL of the file you want to purge.
