I am interested in connecting my software to the CFT via API. What is needed for that?

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.
