Priva Building Connectivity APIs | Connect 3rd party apps

Introduction

With Priva’s APIs you can easily connect third-party applications - or your own software - to the data in your building.

If you have easy, reliable access to the data in your building, the potential for optimized operational efficiencies – and more precise control - is endless. To make this happen, you’ll need to use an API (Application Programming Interface). An API is how software talks to software.

Priva’s APIs are really simple to use. You’re able to undertake the set-up yourself and decide which software needs access to which data – and from which building. If you want to amend or edit permissions and access, you’re in control – as no re-engineering or access to the local system is necessary. In fact, everything can be done online, and in seconds. This isn’t just quicker, it’s cost efficient too. And, it’s more more secure.

Easily connect third party software

Using the Historical Data API you can easily connect third party software to your historical data.

Access to live data

Get easy access to live data in your building with third party software.

Self Service & Access Control

Control the access to the API and easily select which buildings are available to the API.

This is carried out by the applications using the standard program HTTP API call with a JSON payload. Further details can be found at https://apiportal.priva.com/.

Priva API’s are protected by Priva’s OpenID Connect and OAuth 2 compliant Identity & Access Management services. This means that every API call that is made, will have a JSON Web Token as Bearer in the Authorization header of the HTTP request. The token control is in the power of the end user, via registry of the applications in Priva ’s Access Control App. This app is only available to users via their my.priva.com account.

Realtime data API

The Priva Realtime Data API is a package consisting of two complementary APIs. The first one enables you to get live data from your system, while the second one enables you to control the system by sending it new setpoints. This package is an add-on that’s available for the Priva Digital Services (PDS) Essentials and Plus packages.

Historical data API

Connect software to the Historical data stored in your Priva package. It’s an add-on that is available for the Priva Digital Services (PDS) Essentials and Plus packages.

Self Service & Access Control

Using Access Control in the Building Operator application, you can easily select which buildings are available to the API. Plus, it’s simple to give/remove access to specific applications that access the API.

Get the most out of your data

If you want to get the most out of your data, you need easy easy access to it. Priva’s APIs make this easier than ever. They enable access to real-time data and stored historical data. And, they make it possible to change setpoints in the building.

APIs (Application Programming Interface) are how software talks to other software. With Priva’s API’s you can connect any application to the data in your building easily. Whether you want to use third party software or connect your own app.
