API Quickstart

In this section, you'll find a step-by-step guide to quickly start using the API.

Prerequisites

Before you start using the API, make sure you have the following:

API key or access token

Authentication

Explain how to authenticate with the API, including obtaining API keys or tokens.

Making Your First Request

Provide a simple example of making a request to one of the API's endpoints.

GET /example HTTP/1.1
Host: api.truckwash.dk
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_OR_API_KEY_HERE

Response Handling

All responses from the API are in JSON format. Every response has a success field that indicates whether the request was successful or not. If a request is successful, the data field contains the response data array. If a request fails, the data field contains a message field with an error message. Here's the structure of a successful response:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "message": "License plate scan recorded.",
    "plate": "AB123",
    "scanner": "T1"
  }
}

And here's the structure of a failed response:

{
  "success": false,
  "data": [
    {
      "message": "Missing required body parameter plate.",
    }
  ]
}

Next Steps

Take a look at the API Overview to get a detailed understanding of the API endpoints and how to use them. Use the Changes document to keep track of updates and changes to the API. And don't forget to check out the API Reference for detailed information on each endpoint.
