Quickstart
This guide will get you all set up and ready to use the VDH Solar API. We'll cover how to get started using one of our API clients and how to make your first API request. We'll also look at where to go next to find all the information you need to take full advantage of our powerful REST API.
To get started, you need to apply for api credentials with our development support team. Press the button below to shoot us an email to get your credentials. Settings » API.
Choose your client
Before making your first API request, you need to pick which API client you will use. In addition to good ol' cURL HTTP requests, VDH Solar offers a client for PHP. JavaScript, Python, and GO are coming soon. In the following example, you can see how to install each client.
# Install the VDH Solar PHP SDK
composer require vdh-solar/api-sdk
Making your first API request
After picking your preferred client, you are ready to make your first call to the VDH Solar API. Below, you can see how to send a GET request to the Products endpoint to get a list of all our products. In the cURL example, results are limited to ten products, the default page length for each client.
$client = new \VdhSolar\ApiClient('eyJ...');
$client->products->list();
