To connect remotely, first determine the URL of the API for your installation. The default path is http://yourdomain.com/installpath/index.php/api/. Where yourdomain.com is the domain you've installed Blesta in, and installpath is the path to Blesta. If you have enabled pretty URLs in Blesta the path may exclude index.php, and instead appear as http://yourdomain.com/installpath/api/.
Because requests may contain sensitive information, you should only process requests remotely over a secure connection (i.e. only use HTTPS).
The following example illustrates how to connect to the API using cURL.

":" . $api_key); $result = curl_exec($ch); echo $result; ?> |
