Sky Ledge API - Quick start

We’re going to show you how easy it is to:

This guide will just focus on the API calls, the next section will unpack this in more detail using our Hero Potions Inc example

Getting your Sky Ledge API Key

To get your API Key:

Click on the Manage Organization menu item
Click on API Keys in the sidebar
Add your API Key as part of a X-Authorization header in your API requests

Creating assets and displaying them on a map in four steps

Creating a Control Room

POST api.skyledge.com/controlrooms

// raw JSON body for api request
{  
   "name":"Hero Logistics",
   "description":"Real-time monitoring of Hero Logistics"
}

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.skyledge.com/controlrooms' \
--header 'X-Authorization: API_KEY' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{  
   "name":"Hero Logistics",
   "description":"Real-time monitoring of Hero Logistics"
}'

import {
  Configuration,
  ControlRoomsApi,
  CreateControlRoomRequest,
} from '@skyledge/sdk';

const configuration = new Configuration({
  apiKey: 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX',
  basePath: 'https://api.skyledge.com',
});

const data: Partial<CreateControlRoomRequest> = {
  name: 'Hero Logistics',
  description: 'Real-time monitoring of Hero Logistics',
};

const controlRoomApi = new ControlRoomsApi(configuration);

const newControlRoom = await controlRoomApi.createControlRoom(data);

console.log(newControlRoom.status);

import requests
import json

url = "https://api.skyledge.com/controlrooms"

payload = json.dumps({
  "name": "Hero Logistics",
  "description": "Real-time monitoring of Hero Logistics"
})
headers = {
  'X-Authorization': 'API_KEY',
  'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)

Creating an Asset Type - Truck

POST api.skyledge.com/asset-types

{  
   "identifier":"truck",
   "name":"Delivery Truck",
   "description":"Trucks belonging to our delivery fleet"
}

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.skyledge.com/asset-types' \
--header 'X-Authorization: API_KEY' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{  
   "identifier":"truck",
   "name":"Delivery Truck",
   "description":"Trucks belonging to our delivery fleet"
}'

import { Configuration, AssetTypeRequest, AssetTypesApi } from '@skyledge/sdk';

const configuration = new Configuration({
  apiKey: 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX',
  basePath: 'https://api.skyledge.com',
});

const data: Partial<AssetTypeRequest> = {
  identifier: 'truck',
  name: 'Delivery Truck',
  description: 'Trucks belonging to our delivery fleet',
};

const assetTypeApi = new AssetTypesApi(configuration);

const newAssetType = await assetTypeApi.createAssetType(data);

console.log(newAssetType.status);

import requests
import json

url = "https://api.skyledge.com/asset-types"

payload = json.dumps({
  "identifier": "truck",
  "name": "Delivery Truck",
  "description": "Trucks belonging to our delivery fleet"
})
headers = {
  'X-Authorization': 'API_KEY',
  'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)

Assigning our Truck Asset Type to our Control Room

PUT api.skyledge.com/controlrooms/{controlRoomId}/asset-types/{assetTypeId}

{}

curl --location --request PUT 'https://api.skyledge.com/controlrooms/CONTROL_ROOM_ID/asset_types/ASSET_TYPE_ID' \
--header 'X-Authorization: API_KEY'

import { Configuration, AssetTypesApi } from '@skyledge/sdk';

const configuration = new Configuration({
  apiKey: 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX',
  basePath: 'https://api.skyledge.com',
});

const assetTypeApi = new AssetTypesApi(configuration);

const controlRoomId = CONTROL_ROOM_ID;
const assetTypeId = ASSET_TYPE_ID;

const addAssetType2ControlRoom =
  await assetTypeApi.assignsAssetTypeToControlRoom(controlRoomId, assetTypeId);

console.log(addAssetType2ControlRoom.status);

import requests

url = "https://api.skyledge.com/controlrooms/CONTROL_ROOM_ID/asset_types/ASSET_TYPE_ID"

payload={}
headers = {
  'X-Authorization': 'API_KEY'
}

response = requests.request("PUT", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)

Voila. In four steps we’ve created a Control Room, an asset type, pushed our first asset type to the Control Room and created our first asset.
