Q: Who can create an API key?

Revoke it under Settings → API Keys and it stops working right away. A key also stops working if the manager who created it is deactivated.

What you can read

Four endpoints cover the records your compliance program runs on. Every one is a simple GET with JSON back.

GET /jobsites

Every jobsite

Name, address, permit, risk level, WDID, current status, and rain in the current event.

GET /jobsites/{id}

One jobsite, right now

The site's status plus the rain event it's in, with its running rain total.

GET /jobsites/{id}/events

Rain event history

Past and current events, with start and end times, rain totals, and when each status was reached.

GET /jobsites/{id}/forms

Submitted forms

Form type, inspection date and time, submission time, and the rain event each was filed under.

One request per answer

Which sites need a pre-inspection today? How much rain fell during last week's event? Was the post-inspection filed? Ask the API instead of exporting spreadsheets.

✓Pre, QRE, and post-inspection statuses
✓Filter events and forms by date range
✓Times in UTC, rain totals in inches

GET /v1/jobsites/{id} 200 OK

API questions

Who can create an API key?+

Company managers create keys in Rain Event Tracker under Settings → API Keys. A key is shown once, when it is created, so store it somewhere safe.

What can a key see?+

A key can read every jobsite in your company: its current status and rain event, its rain event history, and its submitted forms. It can't see any other company's data, and it can't change anything.

Does the API include form answers, photos, or PDFs?+

No. The API lists each submitted form's type, inspection date and time, submission time, and the rain event it was filed under. Form answers, photos, and PDF reports stay in the app.

Are there rate limits?+

Each key can make 60 requests per minute. Every response tells you how many requests you have left, and past the limit the API answers with a 429 and a Retry-After header.

How do I turn a key off?+

Revoke it under Settings → API Keys and it stops working right away. A key also stops working if the manager who created it is deactivated.
