APIs & Webhooks
API (Application Programming Interface)
An API is a doorway that allows different systems to securely exchange data with each other.

The measurable.energy API allows other systems to request data, send commands and automate workflows.
The measurable.energy API can enable external systems such as BMS, hotel booking systems, desk booking systems and reporting tools (Power BI etc) to access data and control sockets where permitted.
measurable.energy provide API upkeep and reliability, API authentication and setup (in the Control Centre) and API Documentation.
measurable.energy does NOT provide the integration layer including connector software, mapping data, hosting and maintaining the integration. This will need to be build by your integrator or technical partner.

Webhooks
Webhooks are reverse-direction API calls. The m.e Control Centre pushes data in a JSON format to another system. The other server waits to receive the data and secret (password)
The data available to send is:
-
Ruleset updates
-
LED Status
There is a simple tool here to test that your webhook is working:
Webhook.site - Test, transform and automate Web requests and emails
Both APIs and Webhooks setups can be found in the Control Centre under Settings>APIs>API Key or Webhooks
