How to get an API key on Fluss plus
The Fluss+ API key gives you programmatic access to your devices. With it, you can list devices, trigger them remotely, open and close doors (if a sensor is fitted and connected to Wi-Fi), view access logs, and more.
For the best experience, we recommend connecting your Fluss+ to Wi-Fi — this unlocks the full range of API functionality. For more info, visit How to connect the Fluss+ to Wi-Fi.
Before you begin
- A Fluss+ account. See How to sign in or create an account.
- The latest version of the Fluss+ app.
Steps to get your Fluss+ API key
1. Open Profile
Sign in at app.fluss.io (or open the Fluss+ app) and click Profile in the side navigation.
2. Click API Key
On the My Account page, click the API Key row.
3. Generate your API key
If you haven't created a key yet, you'll see a No API Key screen. Click Generate API Key to create one.
Your new key is created instantly and shown on the next screen.
4. Copy your API key
Click the key card to copy your API key straight to your clipboard.
Important: Your API key is like a password — treat it as one. Do not share it publicly or include it in places others can see, such as public code repositories or screenshots.Regenerating your API key
If your key has been exposed, or you simply want a fresh one, you can regenerate it from the same screen. Click Regenerate in the top right corner of the API Key page.
A confirmation dialog appears. Click Regenerate to continue, or Cancel to keep your existing key.
Warning: Regenerating your key immediately revokes the old one. Any integrations still using the old key will stop working until you update them with the new key.
Manage your API plan and usage
API access and usage are managed from the Fluss dashboard. From the API Key page, click the Need to upgrade or view API billing? callout to open dashboard.fluss.io in your browser.
There you can review your current plan, view API usage, and upgrade if you need higher limits.
