APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) enable two software applications to communicate with each other, simplifying information exchange between systems. They are a strategic lever for integrating Energysoft with other information systems and for automating data flows, through two complementary approaches:
- Sharing Energysoft data with customers and partners to ensure transparency and total integration
- Collecting external data to optimise supervision and energy performance
Energysoft APIs: accessible, useful data
S4E SOFTWARE has developed a wide-reaching API, enabling customers and partners to access and export their Energysoft data to other systems. Based on OData (Microsoft), it simplifies data processing and guarantees compatibility with reporting tools such as Power BI and Excel. Its key functions are:
- Extraction and reporting: generating reports and dashboards for ERP and management tools
- Data reading: automatic replication of information towards other platforms
- Data writing: enabling customers to add information directly to Energysoft. This also facilitates real-time updates
- Plant management: creating and administrating plants directly via the API, as well as maintenance ticket management
Energysoft APIs: enhanced supervision
Energysoft integrates a diverse ecosystem of external APIs to enhance and refine energy monitoring. Accuracy is also improved by integrating real-time data streams from other sources:
- Enedis API: access to power plant production data for real-time monitoring (alert verification, billing monitoring, responsive power regulation…)
- Electricity market APIs: real-time monitoring of market conditions to optimise decisions and trigger shut downs in the event of negative prices
- Meteorological APIs: connection to services such as Météo France to collect meteorological data and ensure precise production forecasts
- Manufacturer APIs: direct integration of equipment data from certain manufacturers to ensure optimised performance monitoring
S4E SOFTWARE is based on a system through which data is transmitted directly to Energysoft rather than retrieved via a third-party API. This approach provides better data quality control and increased security.
A win-win approach for an optimised ecosystem
APIs play a key role in Energysoft’s development, making it easier to share and exploit data. Through its focus on innovation, Energysoft is continuously enriching its functions and improving energy monitoring. The overriding aim is to enable operators to optimise their performance.
