API Overview

Unified API for Energy Devices

Texture's API provides a standardized interface to interact with any supported energy device, regardless of manufacturer. Our API enables you to:

• Read device telemetry, status, and configuration data
• Write commands to control devices (charge, discharge, set modes, etc.)
• Manage device connections, sites, and customers
• Configure automations, schedules, and rules
• Access supplemental data like weather forecasts and carbon intensity

API Resources

Resource	Description
Devices	Get device information, telemetry, and device history
Device Commands	Send operations to specific devices
Sites	Manage physical locations with associated devices and weather data
Customers	Create and manage customer records
Connections	Create device connection flows for end users
Programs	Access energy program definitions
Enrollments	Manage program enrollments
Metrics	Access aggregated metrics (consumption, production, storage, etc.)
Leads	Create and manage leads for energy programs
Commands	Specialized device commands for batteries, thermostats, etc.

Using the API

Our API follows REST principles with JSON payloads and standard HTTP methods. Authentication is performed using API keys which you can generate in the Dashboard.

# Example: Get a list of your devices
curl -X GET "https://api.texturehq.com/v1/devices" \
  -H "Texture-Api-Key: your_api_key"

# Example: Get device metrics for consumption
curl -X GET "https://api.texturehq.com/v1/metrics/consumption?period=day&timeframe=1d" \
  -H "Texture-Api-Key: your_api_key"

# Example: Create a connection for device onboarding
curl -X POST "https://api.texturehq.com/v1/connections" \
  -H "Texture-Api-Key: your_api_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "referenceId": "your-reference-id",
    "redirectUrl": "https://your-app.example.com/callback",
    "clientName": "Your Application"
  }'
