API (V1)

Legacy Brewfather REST API v1 documentation for existing integrations and migration reference.

API Version 1 is deprecated and will be discontinued soon, please upgrade to version 2

Use version 2 of the API.

Disclaimer

Breaking changes can come at any time as the development of the API is not finalized. Please keep yourself updated on the API documentation.

Data returned from the API will be in metric units. Requests are ordered by the "_id" field.

Authentication

Authorization header must consist of your userid:apikey (base64 encoded).

Example:

UserId: xyz123 API-key: 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890abcd Base64 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 from above) on the right of the colon on each row.

The API supports HTTPS traffic only (for security reasons).

Generate API-Key

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

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.

Rate Limit

Currently you can do a maximum of 150 calls per hour per API-key.

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.
