APIs
Every tool as an API
You can call every tool on the SuperCloud from your own software as well: calculate, convert, check and store. With one key, in one open language (IFCX), and you pay for what you use.
One key for every tool
You create API keys in the admin environment, per environment and with only the permissions needed. The same key works for every tool.
IFCX in, IFCX out
The APIs speak the same open language as the apps. A model you send to the heat loss calculation goes straight on to the energy calculation without conversion.
Pay for what you use
Calls count towards your environment's usage. You set your own limits.
What a call looks like
A heat loss calculation from your own script: send an IFCX model and get the result per room back.
Illustrative example; the final specification will follow per tool.

How it works
- Signing inAPI keys for scripts and integrations; OAuth for apps acting on behalf of a user.
- SpecificationA public OpenAPI specification per tool, with examples.
- LimitsLimits per key and per environment, so one script cannot overload your environment.
- In the EUCalls are processed in the EU, with the same security as the apps themselves.
