Provisioning API reference

Accounts with provisioning API access (available upon request for Premium and higher plans) can create and manage their sub-accounts, users and user groups using the RESTful Provisioning API.

Overview

The Provisioning API is accessed using HTTPS to endpoints. By default, the API endpoint uses the following format:

https://api.cloudinary.com/v1_1/provisioning/accounts/:account_id/:action

For example, to get all sub-accounts in the account with ID '16a8ff3b-736b-49a6-85c0-03b69d5a357b':

GET https://api.cloudinary.com/v1_1/provisioning/accounts/16a8ff3b-736b-49a6-85c0-03b69d5a357b/sub_accounts

The API uses Basic Authentication over secure HTTP. Your Cloudinary Account ID, Provisioning Key and Provisioning Secret are used for the authentication. These ID's are located in the Cloudinary Management Console under Settings -> Account -> Provisioning API Access, or they can be obtained from the provisioning environment variable available on your management console Dashboard (in the form: CLOUDINARY_ACOUNT_URL=account://<PROVISIONING_KEY>:<PROVISIONING_SECRET>@<ACCOUNT_ID>). As with all configuration parameters, you can either set these values globally, or pass them with each call.

You can experiment with returning a list of users in your own Cloudinary account by replacing the PROVISIONING_KEY, PROVISIONING_SECRET, and ACCOUNT_ID in the cURL command below:

curl https://<PROVISIONING_KEY>:<PROVISIONING_SECRET>@api.cloudinary.com/v1_1/provisioning/accounts/<ACCOUNT_ID>/sub_accounts

For most actions, request parameters are passed as JSON objects and the response is a JSON snippet. The response includes information about the action that was performed as well as any new relevant data. For example, the response from a request to get all sub-accounts:

{
  "sub_accounts": [
    {
      "cloud_name": "product1",
      "name": "Product1 Application",
      "enabled": true,
      "id": "abcde1fghij2klmno3pqrst4uvwxy5z",
      "api_access_keys": [
        {
          "key": "123456789012345",
          "secret": "asdf1JKL2xyz3ABc4s3c5reT01DfaKe"
        }
      ],
      "created_at": "2019-03-15T11:44:48Z"
    },
    {
      "cloud_name": "product2",
      "name": "Product2 Application",
      "enabled": true,
      "id": "0aaaaa1bbbbb2ccccc3ddddd4eeeee5f",
      "api_access_keys": [
        {
          "key": "543210987654321",
          "secret": "T415i5mYs3cr3TkeYN0tR3a77y0o0"
        }
      ],
      "created_at": "2019-04-27T08:00:16Z"
    }
  ]
}

The following sections provide additional details on working with the Provisioning API:

Using SDKs with the Provisioning API
Error handling
Pagination

Using SDKs with the Provisioning API

In addition to the base REST API, our client libraries provide an easy to use wrapper for the Provisioning API. Request building and authentication are done automatically, and the JSON response is parsed and returned.

For example, the following Java SDK method gets a list of enabled sub-accounts that have a name starting with 'prod':

account.getSubAccounts(true, null, "prod");

Error handling

The API returns the status of requests using the HTTP status codes:

200 - OK. Successful.
400 - Bad request.
401 - Authorization required.
403 - Not allowed.
404 - Not found.
409 - Already exists.
420 - Max usage rate exceeded.

The API wrapping of Cloudinary's client libraries report errors by raising applicative exception. In addition, a JSON response with an informative message is returned. For example:

{ "error": { "message": "User not found" } }

Pagination

As with the Admin API, you can control the number of results returned in a single request by specifying the max_results parameter, and you can use the returned value of next_cursor to view additional results. For details see Pagination in the Admin API Reference.
