API
REST API
Breaking changes can come at any time as the development of the API is not finalized. Please keep yourself updated on the API-documentation.
Authorization header must consist of your userid:apikey (base64 encoded).
Example:
UserId: xyz123 API-key: 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890abcd Base 64 encode: "xyz123:1234567890123456789012345678901234567890abcd"
curl -H "authorization: Basic eHl6MTIzOjEyMzQ1Njc4OTAxMjM0NTY3ODkwMTIzNDU2Nzg5MDEyMzQ1Njc4OTBhYmNk" \https://api.brewfather.app/v1/batches
In Postman, you can configure Basic Authorization by clicking the Authorization tab, selecting Basic Auth from the drop-down selector, and then typing the username (userid from above) and password (api-key form above) on the right of the colon on each row.
The API supports HTTPS traffic only (for security reasons).
In the Settings page you can click GENERATE in the API-section to create your API-key. You can currently only have one API-key per account.
Scopes control what the API-key can access. Currently you can choose:
Read Recipes
Read Batches
Edit Batches
Read Inventory
Edit Inventory
When you generate your API-key you can select different scopes that the API-key can access, when new scopes are added you might need to generate a new key with the new scopes to allow access to the new scopes.
Currently you can do a maximum of 50 calls per 15 minutes per API-key (about one call per 20 seconds).
Rate limits can be changed at any time, build your integration to handle http code 429 Too Many Requests, response will include a Retry-After header.
