I am interested in connecting my software to the CFT via API. What is needed for that?
Ensure you are reading the guidance for the correct Tool. We have guidance that varies based on whether you are using the CFT or CFP, outlined below.
Cool Farm Tool
In the https://app.coolfarmtool.org/ at the end of the page you can find the API documentation that explains in details how to
setup the API connection. Member API users have a demo tool at their disposal
to test the endpoints of the connection (please see screenshot below displaying
where the documentation is displayed).
The issuing of the API
app key is a benefit of the membership with the CFA. For this, we need a user
account that will be linked to the API key. This account has the second key
(User API key), visible at the end of the help page, which provides together with
app key and the API documentation all you need to set up a connection with the
CFT.

We do indeed have the API available for the CFP as well as the CFT. If you wish to read the CFP API Docs before purchasing a licence, please email support@coolfarmtool.org
If you have a signed API licence agreement, this includes access to both the CFT and CFP API, so if you would like access to the CFP API, please email support@coolfarmtool.org
If you have a signed API licence agreement, API Docs will be made accessible from within the CFP, where you can also access the endpoints, and create your own API key.
