Guide: How to Get API Key for Hostinger VPS Deployment
To deploy a VPS from Hostinger using this cloud integration, you need an API Token from your Hostinger account. Follow the steps below:
Prerequisites
- A valid Hostinger account (with an active VPS plan or credits).
- Access to the Hostinger hPanel (control panel).
Step 1: Log in to Hostinger
- Go to Hostinger.com and log in to your account.
Step 2: Navigate to API Settings
- From the top-right menu, click on your profile avatar.
- Select "API" from the dropdown (sometimes found under "Developer" or "Integrations").
If you don't see it, go to hPanel → Settings → API Access.
Step 3: Generate a New API Token
- Click the "Create Token" or "Generate New API Key" button.
- Give your token a descriptive name (e.g.,
Deployment-Integration). - Set permissions (scopes) – at minimum, you need:
vps:manage– to create/delete VPS.vps:read– to fetch regions, servers, and images. - Copy the generated token immediately (it will not be shown again).
Step 4: Use the Token
In your cloud provider configuration:
- Cloud Key – paste the API token here.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid token – regenerate and ensure permissions include VPS management.
- Regions not showing – verify
Regions fetchis ON and the token hasvps:readscope. - Images not loading – enable
