Planning your integration
Options for integrating with Axle
Typically an integration with Axle will involve a combination of the following:
- User flows: How users sign up and register their assets
- Asset control: How we communicate with the assets to collect telemetry and control them
Building user flows
We provide three integration modes, offering a balance of speed and power to match your needs and developer resources. In all cases, your brand remains front and center - Axle will always remain in the background.
Fully hosted
Use our hosted flows to sign up users and register assets, with zero development effort.
Components
Use prebuilt React components to build your own flows, with minimal backend integration.
API
Build your own frontend, and communicate data with Axle via API for maximum flexibility.
Asset telemetry & control
To participate in flex markets, we need to collect telemetry from assets and control them. For more details of the telemetry required by each market, see Markets.
