API Cloud Link
Last Updated: April 07, 2026
API Cloud Link streamlines enterprise printing by eliminating the need for on-premise servers, firewalls, and VPNs, enabling secure, scalable, and automated cloud-based print workflows. Designed for businesses using cloud-based business-critical applications, it simplifies infrastructure and enhances operational efficiency, particularly in high-volume environments like manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare.
Key Points
- API Cloud Link supports RESTful API requests and IPP printing requests.
- API Tokens support both request types.
- OAuth 2.0 supports RESTful API requests.
How API Cloud Link Works
API Cloud Link enables cloud-hosted applications to send print jobs securely to on-premise printers through Vasion Output’s cloud service. The print job is encrypted, routed through Vasion’s managed infrastructure, and delivered to a designated internal routing service installed on the customer’s network, ensuring secure, direct delivery without requiring VPNs or firewall changes.
