Developer tools
Script everything
The REST API powers the console and the CLI, so anything you can click you can automate — with the same API keys and the same responses.
Install the CLI
curl -fsSL https://edge.network/install.sh | sh
edge auth login --key ek_live_…Create a DNS zone over the API
curl -X POST https://edge.network/api/dns/zones \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ek_live_..." \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "domain": "example.com" }'Agent tooling
