FAQ: Frequently asked questions
Who is the Open API for?
The Open API is ideal for software providers, system integrators, IoT platforms and developers who want to enrich their applications with energy data or create new digital services – e.g. for care facilities, hotels or public administration.
Why does better.integrations exist?
Because modern software thinks in a networked way. We have developed better.integrations to enable genuine interoperability – beyond proprietary islands. So that you can expand your application without having to build new interfaces. Fast, stable, scalable.
Where can I find the documentation for the interface?
You can find the complete documentation of our Open API in the Betterspace developer portal. You can find it there:
- A detailed reference of all endpoints
- Examples with JSON data structures
- Postman collections for direct testing
- Authentication information (OAuth2)
- Step-by-step instructions for common use cases
You can also browse the portal as a guest without logging in – with an account you get additional functions, e.g. sandbox access.
How can I use the Open API?
You can use the Open API to link your software directly to better.energy. Depending on the use case, you can:
- Read out data (e.g. temperatures, occupancy, energy consumption)
- Write data (e.g. control commands, setpoints, status messages)
- Automate processes (e.g. for temperature documentation or check-in/check-out triggers)
- Enrich dashboards or visualisations with live data
Technically, everything is based on REST with JSON data structure and OAuth2. You can get started right away – you’ll find everything you need in our documentation.
Psst..
You’ll find everything you need in our developer portal, from documentation to the Postman Collection… free of charge, of course!
