Authorization

Getting an API key

To create an API key, your user account must have "Owner"-level access. Log into Flipturn at cloud.getflipturn.com, go to Manage in the top navigation, select "API Keys" from the sidebar, and then click the "Create API Key" button.

API keys can be configured with limited access, so you can provision a key with access to only a specific site or subset of chargers.

Using the API key

Once you have an API key, it should be passed in the Authorization header of the request, like so:

# Shell
curl "https://api.getflipturn.com/api/charging-sessions" -H "Authorization: Bearer {token}"

// JavaScript
fetch('https://api.getflipturn.com/api/charging-sessions', {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
  },
});

The API returns data in JSON format, along with an appropriate HTTP response code.
