NexGen Cloud Virtual Machine API

A virtual machine on Hyperstack is a single-tenant compute instance backed by dedicated GPU and CPU resources. Each VM runs in a region, attaches a root volume and optional data volumes, and is protected by an environment-scoped firewall. Most workflows follow this lifecycle: deploy → attach data volumes → run workload → snapshot → terminate. For long-running development VMs, hibernation is the cost-effective alternative to termination.

NexGen Cloud Virtual Machine API is one of 64 APIs that NexGen Cloud publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

Tagged areas include Virtual Machines. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, an API reference, a getting-started guide, authentication docs, and rate-limit docs.

This API exposes 21 operations across 18 paths, and defines 46 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.2.0, at version 1.0.

Requests are made against a single base URL, https://infrahub-api.nexgencloud.com/v1.

Authentication & Security 2

NexGen Cloud Virtual Machine API declares 2 security schemes for authenticating requests. An API key is passed in the header as Authorization (accessToken). An API key is passed in the header as api_key (apiKey). By default, every request must be authenticated.

  • accessToken — Bearer Token
  • apiKey — Send it as apikey in header

Paths & Operations 21

Across 18 paths, the API surfaces 21 operations — 2 DELETE, 11 GET, 1 PATCH, 6 POST, 1 PUT. Each is listed below with its method, path, parameters, and response codes.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of NexGen Cloud Virtual Machine API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
