DE-CIX API: Simplifying IX services

DE-CIX offers its customers an API (Application Programming Interface) to easily order, configure and cancel interconnection services. It is based on IX-API, an industry standard developed for provisioning interconnection at Internet Exchanges. It supports fully end-to-end automated processes.  

An extensive documentation of how the DE-CIX API works is available at the IX-API website. 

The DE-CIX API fully adheres to the IX-API standard. 

                                                                                                      

Designed and developed by AMS-IX, DE-CIX and LINX, the three leading global Internet Exchanges.

How to use the DE-CIX API 

The DE-CIX API can only be used by DE-CIX customers. If you want to use it, the following steps are necessary: 

           

Automated processes, cost-efficient and fast 

Using the API offers several benefits. It reduces the time for ordering, configuring and cancelling interconnection services from days to minutes. The API is available 24/7/365 and it requires less cost and effort per transaction. As you can use the industry standard IX-API language for multiple Internet Exchanges, implementation costs are reduced to a minimum. 

More information can be found on the IX-API website. If you have any questions regarding the DE-CIX API, please contact us at [email protected].
