Through our secure, RESTful API, you can access real-time, forecasted and historical data, as well as control residential devices within their customer base. Key capabilities include: * Listing and managing device information and user settings * Retrieving historical and forecasted consumption data (per asset or aggregated) * Monitoring current flexibility (flex up/down) and executing flex actions across devices * Integration into energy supplier and manufacturers mobile app. Leverage the NOX Energy API to enhance your energy management strategies, improve grid stability, and deliver greater value to your customers. ## API packages Nox Energy currently provides 2 API Packages for energy suppliers and 1 API package for manufacturers. **Energy Supplier API Packages:** * [Full NOX control](/guides/full-control-package): Option to integrate into supplier website/app + NOX Energy controls the assets based on supplier or user preferred optimization settings. Any combination of the following optimizations are possible: * **Weather predictive control**: Take into account natural heating/cooling of the house based on predicted weather circumstances to avoid unnecessary heating/cooling. * **Solar self consumption**: Maximizes solar energy utilization by scheduling consumption during solar energy production periods. * **Dynamic tarrifs**: Optimize energy consumption based on electricity prices, automatically shifting usage to periods with lower costs or when energy prices provide net benefits to users. Which energy markets or types of tarrifs that are taken into account depends on the country, user and/or energy supplier. By default we optimize on day-ahead market and imbalance market. * [Supplier control](/api-docs/supplier-control): Option to integrate into supplier website/app + NOX Energy provides real-time and forecasted energy flex bounds (aggregated or per asset), enabling suppliers to execute demand response actions when financially beneficial. NOX Energy handles device control, authentication and manufacturer partnerships, eliminating implementation complexity for suppliers but giving steering control. This allows the supplier to execute their own optimization algorithm and play on energy markets and tarrifs by their choosing. **Manufacturer API Package**: * [Integration](/api-docs/manufacturer): Integrate into manufacturer website/app + NOX Energy provides direct integration for both full NOX control and supplier control optimizations. Furthermore, we provide and manage an authentication process for all integrated suppliers. Additionally, user or asset settings are synced between all integrated parties through us and can be consulted with our API endpoints. ## API Environments Nox Energy provides 2 seperated API environments: **Package API Base urls**: * Sandbox Base URL: [https://api.sandbox.nox.energy](/api-docs) * Production Base URL: [https://api.nox.energy](/api-docs) **Integration API Base urls**: * Sandbox Base URL: [https://auth.sandbox.nox.energy](/api-docs) * Production Base URL: [https://auth.nox.energy](/api-docs) The Sandbox environment allows you to test and develop your integrations without affecting your live operations. The sandbox API contains real-time generated test data to replicate our production environment as close as possible. Our Historical sandbox endpoints hold between 7-30 days of data. ## Explore our API Start controlling and/or receiving data of our assets Explore our API capabilities Explore our dashboard demo to display your asset data Check out our latest blog
