API Integration Sandbox Data Key

Description

The NCS DATA API provides secure, tiered access to device data through API keys. Each API key is available in different tiers, with varying seat allocations and usage limits. A “seat” represents a device slot, allowing you to link and manage multiple devices under a single key.

After purchasing an API key, you must assign devices to the available seats before any data can be queried. This ensures that only authorized and linked devices are included in your API responses.

When a data query is executed, the API returns a JSON response containing all relevant information for all devices linked to that API key. This response includes structured data points for easy integration into your applications, dashboards, or monitoring systems.

In short:

• API keys grant access to the DATA API.
• Tiers & seats define how many devices can be linked and how often data can be queried.
• Linked devices are the source of the data.
• JSON responses provide a consistent and developer-friendly format for consuming device information.

This structure allows developers, integrators, and operators to scale their data access according to operational needs, while maintaining strict control over devices and usage limits.
