Getting Started

In this section, we’ll cover the essentials you need to get up and running with the iMaintain Asset Hub APIs.

Prerequisites

A valid iMaintain account (signup at iMaintain.uk)
API key with appropriate scopes (assets, work orders, AI insights)
Postman or another API client for testing
Node.js (v14+) or Python (3.8+) development environment

Authentication

All API requests require a bearer token. Here’s how to obtain and use it:

Request a token via the Authentication endpoint:
“`bash
POST https://api.imaintain.uk/v1/auth/token
Content-Type: application/json

{
“clientid”: “yourclientid”,
“clientsecret”: “yourclientsecret”
}
2. **Include the token** in your headers for subsequent calls:
Authorization: Bearer youraccesstoken
“`

With authentication out of the way, you can explore our developer maintenance documentation to discover endpoints, parameters, and error codes.

Best Practices for Integration

Secure Your API Keys
– Rotate keys regularly
– Apply IP whitelisting
Handle Errors Gracefully
– Check HTTP status codes
– Retry on 5xx errors with exponential backoff
Version Control Your Calls
– Lock to specific API versions
– Test upgrades in a sandbox
Cache Static Data
– Asset metadata rarely changes
– Use local caching to reduce API calls
Monitor Performance
– Track response times
– Alert on high latency

Following these tips from our developer maintenance documentation helps you build reliable, resilient integrations.
