How to get API access for foxesscloud?

[cjau]

I'm trying to get API access to foxesscloud, but I can't find how to get the key I need according to the Open API documentation. I'm wondering if it is because I'm accessing via v2 and it is only available in v1. I tried to login into v1 but it doesn't seem to accept my login details that I use v2.

Can someone help?

Thanks!

Use the FoxESS cloud v1, not V2 web page and go to here: https://www.foxesscloud.com/user/center

Then you'll find it under API management.

I looked around on V2 but couldn't find it myself, it should be there somewhere but idk...

I've set up some basic queries using python and node.js, which I've scaffolded up to a working device for my Homey Pro, as it wasn't supported. There is readily available support and devices for HA, but none for Homey so I had to build it myself custom (using ChatGPT Codex).

Cheers. Gray.

Thanks for that! After posing I also found on the forum to use my user account name instead of email address, then I could log in to v1.

Do you have any very simple python scripts you can use for testing? I tried a few things but couldn't get anything I wanted back from the inverter. I used GenAI to help code and think maybe some small errors in generating the signature.

I also found https://github.com/TonyM1958/FoxESS-Cloud, but haven't tried it yet.

I am also looking for API Key and trying to open this link https://www.foxesscloud.com/user/center but its is not opening for me. Its just showing up a white screen and nothing is coming up.

Yeah bro, check out my GitHub page here:
https://github.com/crazy-gray-v8/misc-scripts

That has some very basic stuff to build from, hopefully you'll figure it out from there, use AI coding tools to help you leverage those scripts. Good luck!

Probably best to just login first at the https://www.foxesscloud.com page, then navigate to that. Sounds like you're trying to go directly to that page above and maybe that's the issue...? Otherwise it could be something to do with it account level access, but I doubt it as I don't recall turning on anything extra to see the API management page...
