For the record... Sending a plain text password through email is just as insecure if not more insecure than sending a password to an API over SSL... Just saying.

We do not support this as it is not secure. You should use SSH keys instead:

https://api.digitalocean.com/droplets/new 
https://api.digitalocean.com/droplets/new?...&ssh_key_ids=[ssh_key_id1],[ssh_key_id2]


  • ...

  • ssh_key_ids Optional, Numeric CSV, comma separated list of ssh_key_ids that you would like to be added to the server
