Brain Web API
This document describes the Intellifi Brain Web API specification using the OpenAPI specification. The Brain Web API is a RESTful API that allows you to interact with the Intellifi devices and services in a powerful and simple way. Our end-to-end solution allows you to localize your items/assets based on technologies such as RFID and Bluetooth. # Try it out! The API can be tried out and tested using the 'api-doc/tryitout' endpoint on this site. This UI allows anyone to visualize and interact with the API’s resources without having any of the implementation logic in place. It’s automatically generated from this Specification, with the visual documentation making it easy for back end implementation and client side consumption. # Authentication Applications are required to provide some form of authentication to the API for every secured endpoint. The Brain offers two forms of authentication. - API key (Via an HTTP request header or URL parameter) - Session cookie --> # See also - About Intellifi and what we do: intellifi.nl - Technical and background information: intellifi.zendesk.com
Plan the first integration safely
The access fields below come from the connected directory. Their likely implementation impact is explained without assuming provider-specific behavior.
Authentication
OAuth is reported. Confirm flows, scopes, consent, token lifetime, and refresh rules.
Transport
HTTPS is not confirmed. Do not send credentials or production data until secure transport is verified.
Browser access
CORS is unknown. Treat direct browser access as unconfirmed and test before choosing a client-only architecture.
First-request sequence
- Identify the current base URL, version, and endpoint for the use case.
- Confirm how credentials are issued and where they may be stored.
- Test success, invalid input, throttling, unavailable data, and timeouts.
- Record response fields, pagination, caching, and error shapes.
- Add monitoring, retries with backoff, and an appropriate fallback.
Questions to resolve before production
Pricing and quotas
Confirm current plans, free-tier limits, overages, and request ceilings.
Endpoint coverage
Check that the operations and response fields match the intended workload.
Reliability
Look for uptime history, a status page, support routes, and service commitments.
Data and privacy
Review retention, licensing, regional processing, and compliance requirements.
Versioning
Confirm the active version, change policy, deprecation window, and migration guidance.
Developer experience
Validate SDKs, examples, error formats, pagination, and test environments.
