Code Examples

Python Example

import requests

API_KEY = "your_api_key_here"
BASE_URL = "https://api.futurephoton.com/v1"

headers = &#123;
    "Authorization": f"Bearer &#123;API_KEY&#125;",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
&#125;

# Get list of devices
response = requests.get(f"&#123;BASE_URL&#125;/devices", headers=headers)
devices = response.json()

# Get specific device details
device_id = "device_12345"
response = requests.get(f"&#123;BASE_URL&#125;/devices/&#123;device_id&#125;", headers=headers)
device_details = response.json()

JavaScript Example

const API_KEY = "your_api_key_here";
const BASE_URL = "https://api.futurephoton.com/v1";

const headers = &#123;
    "Authorization": `Bearer $&#123;API_KEY&#125;`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
&#125;;

// Get list of devices
fetch(`$&#123;BASE_URL&#125;/devices`, &#123; headers &#125;)
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(devices => console.log(devices));

// Get specific device details
const deviceId = "device_12345";
fetch(`$&#123;BASE_URL&#125;/devices/$&#123;deviceId&#125;`, &#123; headers &#125;)
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(deviceDetails => console.log(deviceDetails));

Rate Limiting

To ensure fair usage and optimal performance, API requests are rate-limited:

1000 requests per hour for standard accounts
10000 requests per hour for enterprise accounts
Exceeding limits will result in 429 (Too Many Requests) responses

Error Handling

All API errors follow standard HTTP status codes:

400: Bad Request - Invalid parameters or malformed request
401: Unauthorized - Missing or invalid API key
403: Forbidden - Insufficient permissions
404: Not Found - Requested resource does not exist
429: Too Many Requests - Rate limit exceeded
500: Internal Server Error - Unexpected server error
