This is slightly out of date. While the DAL still functions in the same manner, there are additional paths and metrics that can be requested. Make sure to work with your integration manager to ensure you implement the best flow for your needs.

Sighten offers what we call the Data Access Layer (DAL) to our API partners. Extensive data is collected and and calculated throughout the lifecycle of a deal in Sighten, including information about the solar design, proposal, and financial information. 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.

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.

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

Success Response


{
  "data": {
    "options": [
      "credit_qualification",

}

Metrics

Each of these data structures then each return a set of data (or "metrics") related to that data structure. Appending the data object option to the api/data/ endpoint reveals the full list of possible metrics (pieces of data) that are related to the data object and retrievable.

Filtering

The Data Access Layer endpoints support filtering so users can retrieve the subset of data in which they are interested.

For example, from the quote section, the user can filter for only the quotes that have a SIGN status, meaning a contract has been signed. Additionally, the user can filter for jobs from a range of dates.

By default, the DAL will return 20 unique entries. If the user would like to see more or less entries at one time, the limit filter can be appended to the request. If there are multiple pages of entries, the user can also append the page filter to access a specific page of entries.

Example:

GET https://engine.sighten.io/api/data/quote/?metrics=quote_status,site_id,site_last_updated&quote_status=SIGN&site_last_updated_after=2017-05-01&limit=3000&page=3
