Developer Tools
Manage your DigitalOcean resources from the command line with doctl, our open-source command line interface (CLI).
Programmatically manage your Droplets, Spaces, and other DigitalOcean resources using conventional HTTP requests. Use RESTful APIs to programmatically manage Droplets, Spaces, and other DigitalOcean resources.
Interact with Paperspace resources programmatically using the Paperspace API or CLI, and find documentation for legacy tools.
Automate DigitalOcean infrastrucuture and configuration management using the open source Ansible framework.
Deploy and change many resources simultaneously using the open source Terraform tool.
Official Python client for the DigitalOcean API (OpenAPIv3). Install with pip, authenticate with a personal access token, and call API operations via pydo.Client.
Official and community client libraries for the DigitalOcean API, with installation instructions and quickstart examples.
We use and contribute to open source software.
Use MCP servers to manage DigitalOcean services from any MCP-compatible client.

Upcoming Changes
-
App Platform’s XL build resources (8 CPUs and 20 GiB of memory during builds) are now enabled for all apps by default. The
xl-buildflag is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Removexl-buildfrom your app spec to avoid potential errors once the flag is fully retired. -
DigitalOcean Managed Caching is being discontinued on 30 June 2025.
To replace Managed Caching, we are offering Managed Valkey, a Redis-compatible alternative with RDMA and higher throughput. All existing Managed Caching clusters automatically convert to Valkey clusters by 30 June 2025 during your upgrade window, retaining all data.
