About the VCOM API
The VCOM API enables you to integrate VCOM data with other systems, e.g. to query measured data or ticket statistics. Access to the VCOM API requires an API key as well as credentials to VCOM.
-
Some resources are read-only, others can be created or modified.
-
Only measured data can be sent via the API, not images.
-
You can only create API keys at the Portfolio level.
See the VCOM API documentation for further details. You can also access the documentation via VCOM: go to the footer and select
