Reference Index
Every MowDeck service publishes an HTTP API under /api/v1/<service> on the same origin as the web app. The pages below are generated from the OpenAPI documents the services export, so they always match the code of this version. Start with Scripting MowDeck for authentication with a personal access token, rate limits, the error format and examples in curl, Python and JavaScript.
| Service | Base path | Operations | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| billing | /api/v1/billing |
6 | Plans, checkout and the Stripe webhook (only with billing enabled). |
| device-gateway | /api/v1/device-gateway |
1 | Mower links of the installation (operator view). |
| entitlements | /api/v1/entitlements |
8 | What the account's plan allows; usage and limits. |
| fleet | /api/v1/fleet |
55 | Mowers, sites, groups, linked cloud accounts, base stations and commands. |
| identity | /api/v1/identity |
75 | Accounts, users, roles, sessions, API tokens and personal access tokens. |
| notifications | /api/v1/notifications |
22 | Inbox, rules, channels and push devices. |
| planner | /api/v1/planner |
8 | Mowing patterns, spot paths and plans. |
| realtime | /api/v1/realtime |
0 | The WebSocket for live state and command results (protocol in the guide). |
| scheduler | /api/v1/scheduler |
14 | Schedules, their runs, rain pause and the weather. |
| telemetry | /api/v1/telemetry |
44 | Current state, history, positions, maps, health and reports. |
| vision | /api/v1/vision |
16 | AI assisted recovery: proposals, approvals and the provider settings. |
The raw OpenAPI 3.1 documents are in apps/web/openapi: load them into Swagger UI, Redoc, Scalar, Insomnia, Bruno or a client generator of your choice.
Try it live on the demo: a public demo installation has an interactive explorer of these documents at /api-explorer (after "Try the demo"; simulated mowers, refused actions answer 403 demo-mode). See Scripting MowDeck and ADR 0072.
