Description
This document describes the ISPnext API, as it is available to ISPnext clients.
General
The ISPnext API (VL_API) is a REST service. It consists of several entry points, which contain functionally grouped methods.
Authentication
Each request to VL_API needs to be authenticated. Authentication is done using the JWT method. This means a consumer needs to get an authorization token first, and use that in following requests. When the token has expired, it can still be used to get a new token or extend the previous one.
