  title: Shadeform API
  description: >-
    Shadeform is a GPU cloud marketplace exposing a single REST API to deploy and
    manage GPU compute across many underlying clouds. The API standardizes instance
    types, availability, and per-GPU-hour pricing across providers, and lets you
    launch, inspect, restart, update, and delete instances, manage persistent
    volumes and SSH keys, and save reusable launch templates. All requests are
    authenticated with an X-API-KEY header.
