API Keys & Partner Integrations

This release opens Fentrica up to machine-to-machine integrations. Partners and your own automation can now authenticate with an API key — no human login — and act on your organization's behalf.

API Keys

Manage programmatic access from Managers → API Keys.

• Organization-wide keys, granted access per resource — either across the whole organization or scoped to specific sites.
• Two resources to start with: Edge devices (send commands to your controllers) and Maintenance requests (read, or read & write to create them).
• Keys are shown only once at creation and can be revoked instantly; the list shows when each key was last used.
• Secrets are never stored in plaintext — only a server-side keyed hash is kept.

Partner integrations over REST

API keys unlock a growing set of REST integrations aimed at partners such as Demand Response operators and building-automation vendors:

• Send commands to edge devices over HTTPS — for example, read a technical connection's live status.
• Create maintenance requests automatically from your own systems.
• Request metering data and more — contact us for the full command set.

Reorganized developer documentation

The Development guide is now split into two clear paths so you can go straight to the one that fits what you're building:

• Tenant Apps — end-user applications that authenticate people with a JWT, using Fentrica identities or your own identity provider via JWKS.
• Partner Integrations — machine-to-machine access with API keys, including the new API Keys and Edge Device REST API guides.
