Projects: Get project data

Easy PV and Heatpunk generate a full bill of materials for a project, and for our UK and Ireland sites you can very quickly place an order for the components from Midsummer. So you may like to import the shopping cart into your application and display an ordering link. Users love the ease of ordering all the kit for an installation.

The cart is based on the bill of materials generated by the software for a given project. The bill of materials for the project is refreshed every time the overview page of the project is opened by a user in Easy PV or Heatpunk.

`GET` /projects/data

The main endpoint for getting information about a project. A successful call returns an object with two properties:

A projectData object. This includes core project data, the cart, and an order link to purchase the items in the cart from Midsummer.
A projectComponents object. This is a dictionary containing information about the components used in the project.

Core project data

The projectData object is a large object containing a variety of core project and customer information. Some of the fields are exposed for legacy reasons - we'll do our best to support everything found there, but in new code we recommend only using:

lat - Latitude and longitude of the property, set from the satellite map when the project is created.
lng
address
postcode
dateCreated - A timestamp for when the project was first created.
dateModified - A timestamp for when the project was last saved.
- "Modified" is a little misleading - projects are frequently auto-saved, so this timestamp usually represents when the project was last opened.
customerName
customerPhone
customerEmail
projectName
projectType - In EasyPV, this contains the method used to create the roofs in this project. Can be one of:
- "three-d-model" - A 3D model of the buildings, created either by the user or via "magic mode".
- "roof-outline" - The outline of the roofs is drawn over a satellite image.
- "quick-roof" - The dimensions of the roofs are entered by hand.
- "heat" - All Heatpunk projects have this type.
magicMode - If the building was automatically modelled from satellite imagery using "magic mode".
status - The current "status" of the project, set by the user. Can be one of:
- "Lead" - The initial status of a project created in EasyPV.
- "Quote"
- "Sale"
- "Install"
- "Completed"
- "Rejected"
- "" - Project statuses are only available to pro users, so if a project was created before a user upgraded to pro this field may be empty.
projectID - The ID of the project. Should be identical to the one provided in order to use the endpoint.
cart - A complete bill of materials for the project. Described in more detail below.
midsummerOrderLink - A URL that can be used to order everything needed for a project from Midsummer.

The cart

The cart is a complete list of components used in the project. Here is an example cart containing only one item:

"cart": [
  {
    "name": "Eurener 440W All Black N-Type Mono (Ultra Premium) solar panel",
    "qty": 38,
    "item": 93.1,
    "line": 3537.7999999999997,
    "dbID": "5910",
    "UUID": "37cc8510-0d1b-11ef-a3f8-525400a4b42c",
    "availableFrom": {
      "midsummer": {
        "ID": "5910",
        "price": 3537.7999999999997
      }
    }
  }
]

Each item has the following properties :

name - Name of the item.
qty - Number of the item in the cart.
item - Price of a single copy of the item. If multiple sellers exist, this will be for the seller the user selected.
line - Price for all copies of this item.
dbID - Deprecated field - redundantly stores Midsummer's ID for the item.
- We'll do our best to support this forever, but it shouldn't be used in new code.
UUID - The UUID of the item in the projectComponents dictionary.
- Some smaller items (like screws/rails for the mounting system, or bits of electrical cable) aren't included in projectComponents and won't have a UUID.
- This will not be present on projects last modified before the 10th Feburary, or on Heatpunk projects.
availableFrom - A dictionary of suppliers who the item can be purchased from.
- Currently this will only ever contain a single entry for "midsummer", with an ID for the item and the line price.

Project components

projectComponents is a dictionary keyed by UUID, containing information about the major components used in the project. Some components from the cart (mostly screws/rails for the mounting system, or bits of electrical cable) will not be included here.

This is currently not available on Heatpunk - the dictionary will always be empty.

While we'll try to avoid changing the UUID for any given item, it's not currently not guaranteed. We recommend against assuming that the UUID for a particular item will remain the same between requests.

"projectComponents": {
  "97f4a397-5b85-11ee-9d83-525400a4b42c": {
    "componentType": "inverters",
    "uuid": "97f4a397-5b85-11ee-9d83-525400a4b42c",

      "manufacturerPartNumber": "Symo Advanced 15.0-3-M"
    },
  }
}

Each item has the following properties :

componentType - The category of this component. Can be:
- "panels"
- "inverters"
- "optimisers"
- "batteries"
- "ACIsolators"
- "DCIsolators"
- "meters"
- "extras" - A broad category of misc items, usually referred to as "accessories" in EasyPV.
- "panelGroups" - The "brand" of panel used in this project (eg: SolFiT, Jinko).
- "inverterGroups" - As above, but for inverter brands.
uuid
name
description
identifiers - A dictionary of various identifiers that this component might have.
- enaRef - The ENA reference number for the item, as found in the ENA Device Database.
- manufacturerPartNumber - The manufacturer's model number for the item.

Authentication

Endpoint:

GET https://[DOMAIN]/api/v1/projects/data

Headers:

X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY (Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key.)

Request structure

Every request to create a new project must include the following:

ID: The id of the project as a number.

User email: The userEmail should be a valid email address of an Easy PV Pro team member who has access to the project.

Example API request and response

Example API Request

Below is an example using curl that demonstrates how to create a project with the required fields:

curl -X GET 'https://easy-pv.co.uk/api/v1/projects/data?projectId=1459274&userEmail=matt.agnes%2Bpro%40midsummerenergy.co.uk' \
     -H 'accept: application/json' \

Customise cart and order links

If you wish to modify the bill of materials for a project and create your own cart object, you can use this to generate a custom order link. If you do this, you can also add some additional parameters such as a delivery address or order reference to the order (see instructions in the next section).

In its simplest form, an order can be just an object with an 'items' property. For each item, specify the the products by providing the product ID and the quantity required.

const order = {
    "items": {
        "2586": {
            "qty": 99
        },
       "4258": {
            "qty": 99
       }
   }
}

Here is a more complex order, with a shipping address, despatch date and reference:

const order = {
    "items": {
        "2586": {
            "qty": 99
        },
   },
  "deliveryOption": "standard",
  "shippingAddress": {
    "postcode": "CB24 6AZ",
    "add1": "Midsummer Energy",
    "add2": "Cambridge Road Industrial Estate",
    "add3": "Milton",
    "add4": "",
    "email": "sales@midsummerenergy.co.uk",
    "phone": "01223 858414",
    "firstname": "Andy",
    "lastname": "Rankin"
  },
  "despatchDate": "2023-02-08",
  "reference": "trial order"
}

Once you have created the JSON object containing the products required for the project you can create an order string by following these steps:

Stringify the object
Base64 encode the result of the stringified object
URL encode the base64 encoded string
Append your string to the following URL to create your custom order link https://midsummerwholesale.co.uk/upload?order=[result string]

In JavaScript the function you need to generate an order is:

 function createOrderLink(order) {
      return "https://midsummerwholesale.co.uk/upload?order="+encodeURIComponent(btoa(JSON.stringify(order)))
  }
