# Elecctro VendIoT EV Charging Reporting API

The VendIoT EV Charging Reporting API generates downloadable CSV reports of electric-vehicle charging activity from the Elecctro VendIoT platform. One operation returns a charging-sessions report and the other returns an accounting-periods report, each accepting a date and time window so a pipeline can pull exactly the range it needs. The output is CSV, which drops straight into a billing reconciliation or an energy-usage dashboard.

## For AI agents

Generate CSV reports of EV charging sessions and accounting periods from the Elecctro VendIoT platform, filtered to a chosen date and time window.

## Scope

Does not start or stop charging, manage chargers, or process payments. Use for generating EV charging and accounting reports only.

## Capabilities

- Generate a CSV report of EV charging sessions for a chosen window
- Generate a CSV report of accounting periods for billing reconciliation
- Filter either report by a start and end date and time range

## Use cases

### Agent-Driven Charging Report Export

An AI agent connected through Jentic exports EV charging activity on demand by calling the sessions report with a date and time window and handing back the CSV. Because the report is a single parameterised call, the agent fetches a clean, bounded dataset instead of paging a raw event feed.

Example prompt: Generate the charging-sessions CSV report for the previous calendar month and return the download

### Billing Reconciliation

Operators reconciling charging revenue pull the accounting-periods report for a billing cycle. The VendIoT API returns the accounting data as CSV scoped to the requested date and time window, so a finance pipeline imports the file directly rather than aggregating session rows itself.

Example prompt: Export the accounting-periods report for the current billing window and import it into reconciliation

### Usage Dashboard Refresh

A dashboard tracking charging throughput refreshes by requesting the sessions report filtered to the latest window. The date and time filters let an agent fetch only the new rows for an incremental update, keeping the dashboard current without re-pulling history.

Example prompt: Request the sessions report filtered to the last 24 hours and load the rows into the usage dashboard

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the VendIoT reporting API by hand means setting the `X-API-KEY` header and handling the CSV response format yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls the two report operations.
- **Permission scoping:** The API carries only the sessions and accounting-periods report operations, so you choose which of the two your agent may call. There are no write or delete operations here, and a rule keeps the agent to the report you intend.
- **Credential handling:** Your Elecctro API key is held by your own Jentic One instance, encrypted, and injected into the request header at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'export EV charging sessions' or 'pull the accounting report', and Jentic returns the matching VendIoT operation with its date and time parameters so the agent requests the right report.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the VendIoT EV Charging Reporting API use?

The API authenticates with an API key sent in the `X-API-KEY` request header, per its OpenAPI spec. Through Jentic the key is held by your own Jentic One instance and attached to each report request at execution time, so it never appears in your agent's prompt or logs.

### Can I export EV charging sessions as CSV with this API?

Yes. The sessions operation returns a CSV report of charging sessions and the accounting-periods operation returns a CSV accounting report. Both accept a start and end date and time, so your agent can bound each export to exactly the window it needs.

### Is there a VendIoT or Elecctro MCP server?

You do not need an MCP server to give your agent the VendIoT EV Charging Reporting API. Jentic connects it directly from the API Directory: import it, store your key once, and your agent calls the two report operations on demand without loading an extra server's tool definitions into its context.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the VendIoT EV Charging Reporting API?

Yes. The API exposes only two read operations, so you write a rule that allows the sessions report, the accounting-periods report, or both, and the agent can do nothing beyond generating those reports. Every call it makes is logged.

### How do I pull EV charging reports through Jentic?

Install the Jentic One command line with `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh`, then add the VendIoT EV Charging Reporting API from the Jentic directory and search by intent such as 'export EV charging sessions'. Jentic returns the matching operation with its date and time parameters so your agent builds a valid request. To run it on your own infrastructure, install Jentic One from its GitHub repo.
