# NodeJS SDKs

Use the IONOS Cloud Node.js SDKs to build JavaScript or TypeScript integrations.

### When to use Node.js SDKs

* Build web backends that provision or manage IONOS Cloud resources.
* Automate operational workflows from scripts.
* Implement custom self-service and internal tooling.

### Authentication

Use the same credentials you use for the IONOS Cloud API.

Keep secrets out of source control.

### Common workflows

* Provision and clean up environments.
* Manage networking and access controls.
* Integrate provisioning into CI/CD.

### Next steps

* If you need workflow-first automation, use the tools in this section.
* If you need full control, use the REST API directly.
