Hey guys! I’m a total newbie when it comes to Aqara API. I’ve been hearing a lot about its potential, but I’m really lost on how to actually use it. Can someone give me a simple breakdown on how to get started? Like, what are the first steps I should take? Any advice or examples would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!
@Penny00 Hey there! It’s great that you’re diving into the world of Aqara APIs. To get started, here’s a simple breakdown of the process:
-
Create a Project: First, you’ll want to register and log in to the Aqara Developer Platform. From there, go to the “Console” in the upper right corner, and click “Project Management” on the left. You’ll want to click “New project” to fill in the necessary details like “Project Name” and “Industry Type,” then submit it for review.
-
Review Status: After submission, your project will be in “pending review” status. Once approved, the status will change to “approved,” and you can view your project details, including the appId.
-
Authorization: To access user-related information, you need to obtain user authorization through API interfaces. This involves obtaining an authorization verification code via SMS or email, and then acquiring the accessToken. Remember to refresh your accessToken if it expires.
-
Explore API Capabilities: With accessToken, you can explore various API capabilities like device lists, control devices, and configure linkages.
For detailed steps and interface details, you might want to check out the Aqara Account Authorization Management page. If you have specific questions as you go along, feel free to ask the community. Happy coding!
