Usage Pattern

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $NETLIFY_PAT" \
  https://api.netlify.com/api/v1/sites

Common Workflows

Check deploy status

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $NETLIFY_PAT" \
  "https://api.netlify.com/api/v1/sites/{site_id}/deploys?per_page=5"

Trigger a new build

curl -s -X POST "https://api.netlify.com/build_hooks/{hook_id}"

Best Practices

• Always verify deploy status after triggering builds
• Use deploy locks for production rollbacks instead of redeploying
• Set environment variables via API, never commit secrets
