Projects let you organize your DigitalOcean resources into groups that fit the way you work. Create projects that align with the applications, environments, and clients that you host on DigitalOcean.
The DigitalOcean API lets you manage DigitalOcean resources programmatically using conventional HTTP requests. All the functionality available in the DigitalOcean Control Panel is also available through the API.
You can use the API to create, delete, and manage projects.
The DigitalOcean Command Line Client, doctl
doctl
is a command-line interface for the DigitalOcean API and supports many of the same actions.
doctl
supports managing projects from the command line. See the doctl
documentation or use doctl projects --help
