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.
