What is an API Key for Fluss+?
An API key is a unique code that gives a third-party app or system access to your Fluss account.
Think of it like a digital pass — it allows external systems to perform the same actions you'd normally do in the Fluss app (like opening your gate or viewing access logs), but from within their own platform instead.
General use case
You would use an API key if you (or a developer you work with) want to:
Integrate with other platforms — like a building management system, home automation tool, or a custom dashboard
Pull access logs into your own reporting or security software
Remotely manage devices without using the Fluss app directly
How does it work?
When a system uses your API key, here's what happens behind the scenes:
The external app sends a request to Fluss (e.g. "open gate" or "list access logs")
It includes your API key in that request — like showing ID at the door
Fluss verifies the key belongs to a valid, authorised account
If everything checks out, Fluss carries out the action and responds
Your API key is tied to your account, so any action taken with it is linked back to you.
