OrbiSCADA API

The OrbiSCADA API is an optional way to access your controller data outside the standard OrbiSCADA interface. The API request must be directed to controller ID number.

For most users, the standard OrbiSCADA interface is the best place to work day to day. It allows you to log in, view controllers, check status, and use the built-in charts and tools.

The API is intended for customers who need more flexibility than the standard interface provides. It makes it possible to connect OrbiSCADA data securely to your own tools, reports, dashboards, or software systems.

With the API, you can retrieve data in a structured format and use it in your own workflows, for example for:

• Custom reporting
• External dashboards or BI tools
• Internal monitoring tools
• Data exports for deeper analysis
• Integrations with other systems

When the API may be useful

The API may be a good option if you want to:

• Create your own reports
• Compare data in ways not available in the standard interface
• Use controller data in external dashboards or BI tools
• Export and process data for deeper analysis
• Integrate OrbiSCADA data into your own systems or workflows
