Using Developer Documentation to Access API Functions
You can find the documentation on the Wiser Home Essential API development portal. This is the main source of truth for developers to check the regular updates and API versions. The documentation explains features such as:
-
Hubs

Authorization Model
Once the building manager subscribed to the Wiser Home Essential API, they can create a Personal Access Token (Bearer Token) and share it with the developer to access the API or add the developer to the Developer Group to grant API access. You can see the Subscription key in Wiser Home Essential API > View Credentials > Credentials.
Developers need a Subscription Key and a Personal Access Token (Bearer Token) to access the API and perform integrations.
To create a PAT, refer to the Creating a Personal Access Token for more information. You can see the PAT in Wiser Home Essential API > PAT.
