## Creating an App using the API

In addition to creating a Droplet from the Traccar 1-Click App using the control panel, you can also use the [DigitalOcean API](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api). As an example, to create a 4GB Traccar Droplet in the SFO2 region, you can use the following `curl` command. You need to either save your [API access token](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/create-personal-access-token/index.html.md) to an environment variable or substitute it in the command below.

```shell
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
         -H 'Authorization: Bearer '$TOKEN'' -d \
        '{"name":"choose_a_name","region":"sfo2","size":"s-2vcpu-4gb","image":"traccar-20-04"}' \
        "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets"
```

## Getting Started After Deploying Traccar

One-Click Traccar package doesn’t require any additional configuration.

It might take up to a minute or so to start and initialize all services. After app is ready, you can access web console using your IP address and port 8082:

```
http://your_droplet_public_ipv4:8082
```

If you need to customize configuration you can always access your server using SSH console:

```
ssh root@your_droplet_public_ipv4
```
