Participation starts with registering your users with Axle, and associating them with assets.

To participate in a market, we’ll typically need:

  • the user’s addresss, from which we can retrieve the meter identifier
  • the user’s tariff, to understand how they pay for energy
  • a way to retrieve telemetry from, and send commands to, the asset

​
Registering users

We’ll setup a hosted flow for you to send via email or in-app notifications.

If you’d like to check a user’s eligibility for flex before surfacing the flow, you can use the eligibility endpoint.

​
Adding assets

Once you’ve created a user in our system, we need to associate it with one or more assets.

1

Retrieve the site ID

When you register a user, we create a site for them. This is a unique identifier for the user, and is used to identify the asset.

2

Register the asset

Register an asset to that site using the Create Asset endpoint.

​
Managing assets

You can view, update, and delete assets and sites via the API.
