AMETEK Powervar iSite PRO REST API

Read-only REST API embedded in the AMETEK Powervar iSite PRO network management card, the adapter fitted to Powervar UPS systems for secure remote monitoring. Three GET operations over HTTP or HTTPS returning JSON — live UPS electrical and battery state, the active alarm set drawn from a fixed 38-value catalogue with severities, and adapter identity including firmware and network configuration. HTTP Basic authentication or an x-auth-token web session token; authentication is required for every operation. Protocol version is carried in the URI path at v1, and AMETEK Powervar commits that breaking firmware changes iterate that version and that deprecation is made explicit in firmware upgrades. The host is the customer's own adapter, discovered on the local network by mDNS — there is no vendor cloud endpoint, which is why baseURL is templated.

AMETEK Powervar iSite PRO REST API is one of 3 APIs that AMETEK publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

Tagged areas include Power Management, UPS Monitoring, Data Center, Industrial, and Device API. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and an API reference.

This API exposes 3 operations across 3 paths, organized into 3 resource areas, and defines 6 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.1.0, at version v1.

Requests are made against a single base URL, http://{device_host}:{port}/api/v1.

Authentication & Security 2

AMETEK Powervar iSite PRO REST API declares 2 security schemes for authenticating requests. It accepts HTTP basic authentication (basicAuth). An API key is passed in the header as x-auth-token (sessionToken). By default, every request must be authenticated.

  • basicAuth — HTTP Basic Authentication, as published. Authentication is required for access to all API features. Credentials are the adapter's own local administrative cred…
  • sessionToken — Web session token issued by the adapter's own web interface and presented in the x-auth-token header, as published.

Paths & Operations 3

Across 3 paths, the API surfaces 3 operations — 3 GET. They span 3 resource areas: UPS Monitoring, Alarms, Device Identity. Each is listed below with its method, path, parameters, and response codes.

UPS Monitoring 1

Read the live electrical, battery and load state of the attached UPS.

GET
/UpsStatus
Get UPS status
getUpsStatus → 200
Alarms 1

Read the currently active alarm set reported by the UPS.

GET
/UpsAlarms

getUpsAlarms → 200
Device Identity 1

Identify the adapter itself — model, serial, firmware, network interfaces and httpd state.

GET
/whoAreYou
Identify the adapter
getWhoAreYou → 200

Schemas 6

The contract defines 6 schemas that model the data the API accepts and returns. The most detailed are UpsStatus (23 properties), WhoAreYou (9 properties), EthInterface (7 properties), HttpdState (4 properties). Each schema is shown below with its type and property counts.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of AMETEK Powervar iSite PRO REST API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
