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.
