Get a Valid ChargePoint API Account
If your organization owns ChargePoint charging stations, then it will have a service plan and a Network Manager account with access to the ChargePoint Platform APIs. To set up other users who can access the APIs, your Network Manager needs to do the following:
-
Log in to ChargePoint Platform.
-
Navigate to Organizations > Admins.
-
Click New Admin.
-
The Organization field contains your organization and it cannot be edited.
-
Enter the First Name and Last Name of your new API user.
-
Enter a unique Email address to identify your new API user.
-
From the Role drop-down, select API User.
-
Click Add New Admin.
The new administrator (in this case “API User”) then receives an email from ChargePoint Platform with a link used to finish setting up the new user account.
-
When the account is set up, the new API user can log in and navigate to Help > API Docs.
