Getting Started with Mera Monitor API

This guide will help you get started with the Mera Monitor API by showing you how to generate your API credentials and access tokens for API integration.

Prerequisites​

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  1. A Mera Monitor account with administrative access
  2. Access to your organization's settings

Generating API Credentials​

Step 1: Access API Settings​

  1. Log in to your Mera Monitor dashboard
  2. Navigate to Configuration > API Credentials
  3. You will see your existing API credentials if they have been generated

Step 2: Generate API Credentials​

If you haven't generated API credentials yet:

  1. Click on "Generate API Credentials" button
  2. The system will automatically generate:
    • Client ID
    • Secret Key

Important Notes:

  • Each organization can only have one set of API credentials
  • The generated credentials will not expire
  • Store these credentials securely as they will be used for generating access tokens

Step 3: Generate Access Token​

Once you have your Client ID and Secret Key, you can generate an access token directly in the dashboard:

  1. In the Client Credential screen
  2. Click "Generate Token" button in the UI
  3. Copy the generated access token that appears in the interface
  4. Store the token securely for use in your API integrations

Access Token Details:

  • Access tokens are generated directly in the Mera Monitor dashboard
  • Use this token in the Authorization header for all API calls: 
    Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
  • Tokens have a 60-minute expiration time
  • Generate new tokens through the dashboard interface when needed
  • Never share your access tokens publicly

Step 4: View and Manage Credentials​

Once generated, you can:

  1. View your Client ID at any time
  2. View and copy your generated access tokens
  3. Generate new access tokens as needed through the dashboard

Using API Credentials​

To integrate with the Mera Monitor API:

  1. Generate an access token through the dashboard interface
  2. Include the access token in the Authorization header for all API calls
  3. Follow the API documentation for detailed endpoint information
  4. Generate new tokens through the dashboard before they expire

Next Steps​

Now that you have your API credentials and know how to generate access tokens, you can:

  1. Review the API Documentation for available endpoints
  2. Start making API calls to integrate with Mera Monitor
  3. Test your integration using the provided endpoints
