NextCentury API

The NextCentury API is a RESTful API for software developers. Use it to connect NextCentury to your own software: feed usage data, alerts, custom reports and more directly into the billing system your organization uses.

Who can see the API documentation

The API documentation is in the NextCentury Web Portal, for users with the Admin or Developer role. See User roles and permissions.

Don't have a NextCentury account yet? Ask your organization's Admin, or contact our support team.

View the documentation

Sign in to the NextCentury Web Portal and open the Home menu.

Select API. The documentation is on the Reference tab.

NextCentury web portal API page, with API selected in the Home menu on the left and the Reference tab selected at the upper right, next to Simplified API and FTP Info. A RESOURCES list runs down the middle: Billing Companies, Meter Reads, Properties, Meters, Units, Users, Meter Manufacturer, Meter Types and Alerts. On the right, the Introduction gives the BASE URL, https://nextcenturymeters.com, and starts the steps to authenticate with a JWT token: send a POST request to the /login route with your email and password.

Not a developer?

You can still get property reads and other reports automatically, without the API. See Send reports to an FTP or SFTP server.

Due to updated regulations and product improvements, Next Meters reserves the right to change the product specifications without notice.
