LayerRail resources can be managed from the console and automated through API-compatible workflows.

​
Create a personal access token

1

Open account settings

Sign in to the LayerRail console, open your profile menu, and go to account settings.
2

Create a token

Create a personal access token for the project or automation workflow you want to run.
3

Store it securely

Save the token in a password manager or CI secret store. Do not commit it to Git.

​
Authenticate requests

LayerRail API requests use a personal access token in the Authorization header.
Some SDK and CLI flows accept Bearer: with a colon for compatibility, but new integrations should use Authorization: Bearer $LAYERRAIL_TOKEN.

​
Use scripts carefully

Automation should be project-scoped and repeatable. Store IDs and location names in environment variables instead of hard-coding them into shared scripts.

​
Common automation tasks

  • List project resources.
  • Create virtual machines.
  • Rotate access tokens.
  • Create inference API keys.
  • Query resource state before deployment.
API coverage is still expanding. If an operation is not documented yet, use the console for that action and contact support before automating it.
