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.

Operations 3

GET /UpsStatus Get UPS status #
GET /UpsAlarms Get active UPS alarms #
GET /whoAreYou Identify the adapter #

    AMETEK Powervar publishes no OpenAPI of its own. Every path, method, header, status code and
    response field below appears verbatim in that document; nothing has been inferred or invented.
    Response schemas are typed from the document's worked example bodies. Undocumented behaviour
    (error responses, rate limits) is deliberately ABSENT rather than guessed.

  title: AMETEK Powervar iSite PRO REST API
  version: v1
  summary: Read-only REST API embedded in the AMETEK Powervar iSite PRO network management card.
  description: >-
    The REST API published by AMETEK Powervar for the iSite PRO network management adapter, a card
    fitted to Powervar UPS systems for secure remote monitoring. The API is served by the device
    itself, so the host is the customer's own adapter (discoverable on the LAN via mDNS), not a
    vendor-operated cloud endpoint.


    Documented features, quoted from A55-00202 REV B: HTTP or HTTPS (HTTP by default); Basic
    Authentication supported; web session tokens supported using the `x-auth-token` header;
    authentication is required for access to all API features; mDNS is supported for dynamic
    discovery; all response bodies are in JSON format; protocol versioning is built into the URI,
    and any feature-breaking change implemented in firmware iterates that protocol version, with
    multiple protocol versions potentially available at the same time. `v1` is the only supported
    protocol version defined in the document.


    AMETEK Powervar states that any non-documented key/value pairs should be treated as internal
    use only and not modified by any party unless explicitly instructed by AMETEK Powervar.

      (the document's worked examples use an adapter reachable on port 8080 and a hostname of the
      form isitepro-<serial>). HTTPS is supported; HTTP is the factory default.

        Note the case difference published in the definition: the URL is documented as
        `/api/v1/whoAreYou` while the worked example request line reads `GET /api/v1/WhoAreYou`.
