Databases

Note: Application, Database, and Static Site Hosting will be removed from both MyKinsta and the MyKinsta API on 31 January 2026. Your existing services will continue to run without interruption; however, you will need to manage them through the Sevalla dashboard using your MyKinsta credentials.

After this date, all API endpoints related to Application, Database, and Static Site Hosting will be provided exclusively through the Sevalla API. For more details about this transition, see Sevalla.

You can use the databases endpoint to:

You can obtain the company_id from MyKinsta > username > Company settings > Billing details.

The company_id is also shown in the URL in MyKinsta, for example in the URL https://my.kinsta.com/?idCompany=bdd25d71-5706-4890-870f-1adda17c505d the company_id is bdd25d71-5706-4890-870f-1adda17c505d.
