Anor CLI Documentation

GPU compute with SSH access. Buy time, get a shell.

Installation

pip install anor

Requires Python 3.8+.

Authentication

anor login

Or use email/password directly:

anor login --no-browser -e your@email.com

You can also use an API key:

anor login --api-key YOUR_API_KEY

Instances API

The Instances API lets you create, manage, and terminate GPU instances programmatically. All endpoints require a Bearer token via the Authorization header.

Base URL: https://anorcloud.com/api/v1/instances

List Instances

Returns all running instances for your account.

curl -X GET "https://anorcloud.com/api/v1/instances" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ANOR_TOKEN"

Create Instance (one-step)

Creates and launches an instance in a single request.

curl -X POST "https://anorcloud.com/api/v1/instances" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ANOR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "gpuType": "A100",
    "gpuCount": 1,
    "durationMinutes": 60,
    "region": "us-east-1"
  }'

Two-Step Flow: Request then Launch

For more control, create a pending request first, then launch it later (e.g., to select a specific node).

Step 1: Request

curl -X POST "https://anorcloud.com/api/v1/instances/request" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ANOR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"gpuType": "H100", "durationMinutes": 120}'

Step 2: Launch (use id from request response)

curl -X POST "https://anorcloud.com/api/v1/instances/<requestId>/launch" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ANOR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"region": "us-east-1"}'

Get Instance

curl -X GET "https://anorcloud.com/api/v1/instances/<vmId>" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ANOR_TOKEN"

Terminate Instance

curl -X DELETE "https://anorcloud.com/api/v1/instances/<vmId>" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ANOR_TOKEN"

List Requests

List all instance requests (including pending ones).

curl -X GET "https://anorcloud.com/api/v1/instances/requests/list" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ANOR_TOKEN"

Cancel Request

Cancel a pending request before it is launched.

curl -X DELETE "https://anorcloud.com/api/v1/instances/requests/<requestId>" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ANOR_TOKEN"
