VCOM API

The VCOM API enables you to directly access your data on the meteocontrol platform. Some resources are read-only, others can be created or modified. Access to the VCOM API requires an API key as well as credentials to VCOM. 

Only measurement data can be sent via the API, not images. 

You can create API keys only at the portfolio level.

Set up VCOM API

• You are an existing VCOM partner

Step

1. At the portfolio level, go to the Administration icon and select the Administration tab.

3. If you do not already have an API key, enter a description of your API and select the API plan that applies to you.
