The Link admin API manages the protocols and backends on your instance. It is a REST API, and every request carries a bearer JWT.

Base URL

Reach your instance at:
{instance} is your unique instance slug and eu1 is the current environment — see Plans & Access.

Authentication

Every request requires a bearer token holding the scope for that operation:
See Authentication for the token flow and the full scope list.

Editions

What you can administer depends on your edition:
  • Bundled — manage the backends that serve your connected Specter instance.
  • Standalone — additionally run any Hellgate-curated protocol and import your own protocols. These operations are marked Standalone.
If you’ve opted for Hellgate to operate backends on your behalf, those managed backends are changed with the admin:managed-backends:write scope.
