API Integration Premium Control Key

Description

The NCS API provides a unified way to monitor and control your devices.  When you purchase a Command API key, you automatically gain access to both:

• Data API – to query device telemetry, such as voltage readings, logs, and status information.

• Command API – to send direct control commands to devices (e.g., auto (start), stop, reboot).

This means a single API key gives you full visibility and control over your linked devices.

API Keys & Seats

• API keys are issued in different tiers, each with a set number of seats (device slots) and limits.

• After purchasing an API key, you must assign devices to seats under that key.

• Once assigned, all data queries and control commands are scoped to the devices linked to that key.

Typical Workflow

1. Link Devices – Assign your devices to the seats on your API key.

2. Fetch Data – Use the Data API to retrieve live and historical telemetry, such as voltage trends.

3. Send Commands – Use the Command API to control the same devices in real time.
