How to add a StoreFront server in Citrix DaaS

Use REST APIs to add a StoreFront server in your Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix DaaS service) site.

Follow the prerequisites and examples to get started with this API.

You can make API requests using the PowerShell code, C# code, Python, or any tool that supports invoking the REST API.

Prerequisites to add a StoreFront server in Citrix DaaS

  • Read the Get started with Citrix Cloud APIs section to ensure that you have the bearer token.
  • Get siteid from How to get site id API.
  • Make sure a Storefront Server host has been set up successfully with an accessible Url. Alternatively, provide the Storefront Server Id if it already has one (for example, once added to a site but removed later).
  • Invoke the API described in this document from a client host or from the API exploration tab to add a new StoreFront server to the site.
