Specific data request types available in the Metrikus API:
Latest data
For developing experiences
Get access to latest recorded data readings to develop and build new experiences, with live data use cases for your app.
Historical data
For historical data analysis
We normalize and contextualize your historical (time series) data for you, so it’s ready for you to analyze however you want.
Metrikus insights
For accelerated insights
We’ve already derived insights from the aggregated historical data ourselves, which you can access and query to get from data to insights faster.
Query data quickly and efficiently with our API endpoints
We normalize building data so that you don’t have to. It’s super quick and easy for you to query whatever data you need, regardless of the format or data source it came from.
Take a look at some of our key use cases made available via our API endpoints below:
Space management endpoints
Historical space occupancy
You can query occupancy data for a specific space
Example use case:
Ideal for when you’re looking to analyze the past occupancy of your space to see which meeting rooms, floors or buildings in your portfolio aren’t being used as much, so you can save on wasted real estate costs.
Latest space occupancy
You can query the most recently recorded occupancy of one or more spaces
Example use case:
This endpoint is best when you’re building live data use cases in your workplace app that require a live feed of occupancy data, like showing which office spaces are currently occupied at a given moment.
Historical desk occupancy
You can query the occupancy data for all the desks within a space
Example use case:
Use this when you’re looking to analyze the past occupancy of your desks to see how they’re being used, so you can redesign or optimize your space as needed.
Latest desk occupancy
You can query the latest occupancy of one or more desks
Example use case:
Great for when you’re building live data use cases in your workplace app that need a live feed of desk occupancy data, like showing which desks are currently available.
Wellbeing and productivity endpoints
Latest space indoor environmental quality (IEQ)
You can query the most recently recorded IEQ values for one or more spaces
Example use case:
Perfect for when you’re building live data use cases in your workplace app that need a live feed of IEQ data (e.g. CO2 levels or temperature). An example of this might be displaying these values on a meeting room panel to increase transparency of the air quality in meeting rooms to your employees.
IEQ time spent in ranges
This endpoint returns a payload containing the time spent in each predefined range of values of the most important IEQ properties.
Example use case:
Ideal for when you’re looking to analyze past indoor environmental quality data values of a specific space in your office over time. This could help you dive into a historical analysis of the actual temperature or CO2 levels employees are exposed to.
Building efficiency endpoints
Total energy consumption
You can query the total energy consumed within a building
Example use case:
Use this if you’re looking to analyze the total energy consumed by a specific building, so you can compare it against your entire portfolio and find real opportunities to save on wasted energy costs and bills.
Energy consumption in time buckets
You can query the energy consumed within a building over a period of time
Example use case:
Perfect for analyzing energy consumption at a more granular level across specific time periods for a specific building, so you can understand detailed and more accurate energy usage in your portfolio.
