CLI installer for macOS, Linux and Windows
The CLI is now a single, dependency-free binary that installs with one command:- macOS and Linux:
curl -fsSL https://cli.vertracloud.app/install | sh - Windows (PowerShell):
irm https://cli.vertracloud.app/install | iex
vertra command on your PATH. To update, run the same command again.See the CLI page to connect your account and make your first deploy.Usage and AI credits removed
Usage credits and AI credits no longer exist on Vertra Cloud.POST /v1/orders only accepts
plan-type orders, and no payload carries use_credits or credits_used anymore. Legacy credit
orders from before this change no longer appear in the user’s order history.Simplified custom domain response
The routes that read and attach a custom domain (GET and POST /v1/apps/{id}/network/custom)
now return just { "domain": "example.com" }, matching what the public type already described.
DNS record validation status remains on the
Custom Domain DNS Records route.Two custom domain error codes were renamed to CUSTOM_DOMAIN_REGISTRATION_FAILED and
CUSTOM_DOMAIN_RECORD_NOT_FOUND.If your integration compares these codes, update to the new names.Docs refresh: first deploy and configuration
The documentation was refreshed to match today’s dashboard:- First deploy rewritten to follow the current New Project flow: source, build, environment, network, review and deploy, including creating from a snapshot.
- New Configuration page: every
vertracloud.configkey, what can change after deploy, start and build commands by framework, port, environment variables and an application’s limits. - GitHub deploy now explains automatic deploys as they actually work today: Vertra creates the
webhook on your repository for you, and only pushes to
mainormasterpublish. - Tutorials now use the same deploy walkthrough, whether through the dashboard, the CLI or VS Code.
- The API reference gained pages for deleting a database, updating a profile and listing all of an account’s snapshots, and fixed the delete-environment-variable route, the database update body, and authentication error codes.
”Powered by Vertra Cloud” badge on Pro
On the Pro plan, published HTML pages now show a small “Powered by Vertra Cloud” badge in the bottom-right corner, linking back to Vertra. It doesn’t appear on Scale and above, and switching plans turns it on or off immediately, without a redeploy.SDKs and GitHub Actions pages on the site
The developer tools section got two new pages on the site:- SDKs: installation and examples for JavaScript, TypeScript, Python and Go, available features and FAQs.
- GitHub Actions: a copyable workflow, secrets configuration and options for updating an existing application.
Official JavaScript, Python and Go SDKs
SDKs
@vertracloud/sdk-api(npm),vertracloud-sdk-api(PyPI) andgithub.com/vertracloud/sdk-api-goarrive as official clients for the public API. One method per route, authentication via the same scoped API key, and coverage for applications, databases, snapshots, account, workspaces and billing — with no caching, automatic retries or internal state. See SDKs.- All three expose live output streaming for an application (
apps.realtime): an async generator in JavaScript, an iterable stream in Python, and an iterator (Next/Event) in Go. - Every error response becomes a structured error, always with an accessible
code: in JavaScript and Python, one exception class per HTTP status (AuthenticationError,NotFoundError,ValidationError,RateLimitError, among others); in Go, a single*rest.APIErrorwith methods likeIsNotFoundError()andIsRateLimitError(). - What remains dashboard-only — activity history, notifications, API key management, workspace invites, the database Data tab, plan downgrades and workspace deletion/transfer — is listed in SDKs → What you can’t do with an API key.
API
- The deploy webhook creation path is now
/deploys/webhook, singular — matching the query and delete routes that already used that form. Reference updated at Create Deploy Webhook. - Activity history is dashboard-only and has no equivalent in the public API or SDKs.
Workspaces by API key and MCP
More workspace actions are now available outside the dashboard — through the SDKs, the CLI, the VS Code extension and the MCP server:- Delete a workspace with the new
workspaces:deletescope. Only the workspace owner can, same as in the dashboard. - Invites with the new
workspaces:invitesscope: list and revoke a workspace’s invites, and view, accept or decline an invite by token. The key acts as the account that owns it, so an email invite is only accepted if it matches that account’s email. - Action requests:
workspaces:readlists requests andworkspaces:writecreates one for someone with approval permission.
read and write presets — only in full or a custom
selection — and appear unchecked on the connected-app authorization screen. Workspace role
permissions still apply to the key.Some workspace operations remain dashboard-only, including creating invites, transferring
ownership, approving or rejecting action requests, and exporting activity.
