About Netlify

The Netlify API (api.netlify.com) allows developers to automate site deployments, manage builds, configure custom domains, and control environment variables and access settings programmatically. Netlify is a JAMstack-focused platform offering edge-optimized hosting, serverless functions, and CI/CD for static and dynamic sites. In September 2025 Netlify moved to a credit-based pricing model, with usage across compute, bandwidth, and web requests tracked in a unified credit unit, refined again in April 2026.
