As a financial marketplace and tool, Sighten offers what we call the Data Access Layer (DAL) to our API partners. Extensive data is collected and and calculated throughout the lifecyle of a deal in Sighten. The DAL allows our partners to always retrieve the most relevant and pertinent data effectively and quickly.

Authentication and Credentials

Authentication and access for the data access layer are the same as those used for other Sighten API endpoints. If your Sighten subscription does not include access to Sighten's APIs, please contact your Sighten account representative or support@sighten.io to see how your needs may be met with the Data Access Layer.

What data is accessible

The base URL for the DAL is : https://engine.sighten.io/api/data/

Retrieving from the base endpoint reveals what options and information are available through the DAL. Each of the options represent a different starting point for how associated information, "metrics," are derived.

GET https://engine.sighten.io/api/data/

Credit Qualification

The credit qualification part of the DAL derives information related to credit pulls. Depending on the set up of the financier and integration, this may include product information and approval amounts among other data.

Product

The product option on the DAL returns information around the specific financing products for which your account has access.

Quote

The quote option returns information related to the quotes that have been created in your account. Pricing information, status, and dates of creation can be accessed for each individual quote.

Site

The site (sometimes referred to as solarsite) is the data object around which the entire Sighten platform is centered. It encompasses the homeowner contact, address, and utility information. This option on the DAL will return higher level information related to each site.

System

The system data structure includes all array information that is part of a system design.

Finding sites and when they were last updated:

In order to find when a site was last updated, we can call the api/data/quote/ endpoint to return the last updated dates along with the quote ids and site ids.

GET https://engine.sighten.io/api/data/site/?metrics=site_last_updated,site_id

GET https://engine.sighten.io/api/data/site/?metrics=site_last_updated,site_id&limit=3000

limit => how many entries to display in the response

GET https://engine.sighten.io/api/data/site/?metrics=site_last_updated,site_id&limit=3000&page=3

Response:

Fields of interest:

pages => number of pages of entries
