Admin API Reference

The Admin API is for managing Compress API keys and Easy IO CDN sites. The hostname is optimize.exactlywww.com and must be accessed by HTTPS. All requests to the API must use the POST method and include a user-agent. All responses will be JSON-encoded.

Authentication

To use the API, you must provide an API key. Sub-keys naturally cannot create other sub-keys, but may be used to create CDN sites/zones. The POST parameter api_key must be set to a valid API key for both Easy IO and Compress API management.

Easy IO Show Sites – /exactdn/show.php

To display detail about existing CDN sites on your account, use https://optimize.exactlywww.com/exactdn/show.php

This endpoint will normally return data for all sites your account, or related sites for a sub-key. You may provide an optional site_url parameter to filter the results to a single site.

The response will look something like this:

array (
	'live_sites' => 1,
	'sites'      => array(
		[0] => array(
			'site_id'   => '17',
			'zone'      => 'earqb5e5seg',
			'alias'     => 'earqb5e5seg.exactdn.com',
			'site_url'  => 'https://www.example.net/',
			'location'  => 'NA,US',
			'pending'   => false,
			'live'      => '1',
			'purgeable' => '1',
			'bandwidth' => '3935162323',
			'beforet'   => 'https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.example.net/Wsv1hIOf/',
			'aftert'    => 'https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.example.net/jgeylNvw/',
			'config'    => array(
				'avif'               => 0,
				'webp'               => 1,
				'asset_domains'      => 'images.third-party.net',
				'watermark'          => 0,
				'watermark_offset'   => 0,
				'watermark_min_size' => 300,
				'watermark_position' => 0,
				'watermark_url'      => 'https://www.example.net/images/watermark.png',
			),
		),
	),
	'licensed' => '10',
	'interval' => 'month',
	'quota' => 2000000000000,
)

Which gives some detail about account limits, and then an array of sites with relevant details:

  • live_sites - The number of sites that count toward the account quota, any sites where live = 0 do not affect the site limits.
  • licensed - The number of sites an account may have. Sub-keys may have their own limits and default to 0 (no limit).
  • interval - The renewal interval: month, year, or life. Sub-keys will not show the interval.
  • quota - The amount of bandwidth allowed for the account in bytes.
  • sites - An array of sites with the following detail:
    • site_id - The unique identifier for a given Easy IO site.
    • zone - The backend CDN zone name. Will match the alias unless a custom hostname/alias is applied.
    • alias - The CDN hostname for the site/zone.
    • site_url - The origin URL for the CDN zone.
    • location - The detected geographic location of the origin server. This affects whether images are processed via the North America, Europe, or Oceania server location.
    • pending - For new sites, this will be true. Sites that are pending cannot be removed.
    • live - Whether a given site is live/production or dev/staging. If a given site is not detected correctly, contact support.
    • purgeable - 1 = site cache may be purged, 0 = no purging allowed. Normally set to 1 except in extreme cases.
    • bandwidth - The amount of bandwidth a site has consumed in the last 30 days, in bytes.
    • beforet - The URL of the site performance test, run when a site was first added to the account.
    • aftert - The URL of the performance test, run after Easy IO is activated on a given site.
    • config - An array with the current site configuration. *Watermarking not yet implemented

Try it out with cURL (replacing ‘abc123’ with your own key):

curl --data api_key=abc123 --data token=abc123 https://optimize.exactlywww.com/exactdn/show.php

Easy IO Add/Create Site – /exactdn/create.php

To add a site to your account, submit a request with your API key and the origin URL. Requests are sent to  https://optimize.exactlywww.com/exactdn/create.php

The response is JSON-encoded with the following data:

  • id - The unique identifier for the new site.
  • site_url - The origin URL, which should match what was provided, though trailing slashes will be added if missing.
  • dev - 1/0: a value of 1 means the site is assumed to be a development/staging site and will not count against the site limit.
  • alias - The CDN hostname generated for this site.
  • status - Will always be 'success'.

If there is an error, the response will be an array with a single 'error' item that includes an error message:

array(
	'error' => 'site URL not provided'
)

Easy IO Update Site Configuration – /exactdn/config-update.php

To change the site (CDN zone) configuration, submit a request with your API key, the site ID, and the desired configuration parameters. Use the /exactdn/show.php endpoint to retrieve a given site ID along with the existing site configuration.

This gives us detail about account limits, labels, etc. using the keys themselves (from the 'keys' array) as the indexes:

  • keys - A list of all the sub-keys for the account.
  • limits - The number of images a sub-key may optimize in a single month.
  • sites - The number of (production) sites active for a given sub-key. Easy IO only for now, sub-keys cannot currently activate the SWIS plugin yet.
  • site_limits - The number of sites a sub-key may create/activate. Default is 0 (no limit).
  • labels - The labels assigned to each key, empty by default.
  • stats - The number of Compress API credits used for each month. Months with no usage will not be returned.
  • bill - The retail value of the credits used for the given period.
