Making your first API call with curl

Explore the API quickly using curl

For many developers, curl is the quickest way to explore a new API. This demo shows how to make a first call to Leafy Energy.

Example: fetch your own customer profile

curl -X GET \
  https://api.leafy.energy/v1/customers/me \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer DEMO_API_KEY_123" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

Expected JSON structure

{
  "id": "cust_demo_001",
  "email": "[e-mail]",
  "default_site_id": "site_home_001",
  "created_at": "2024-01-01T10:00:00Z"
}

In training sessions you can ask participants to run these curl commands in a sandbox and walk them through the response line by line.
