M3ter Debits API

Endpoints for Debit line item related operations such as creation, update, list and delete. These are line items on Bills that are specifically related to Debits. You use the Debit Reasons created for your Organization when you create Debit line items for Bills. See the [DebitReason](https://www.m3ter.com/docs/api#tag/DebitReason) section for calls you can use to create and manage Debit Reasons for your Organization.

    # Introduction

    The m3ter platform supports two HTTP-based REST APIs returning JSON encoded responses:

    - The **Ingest API**, which you can use for submitting raw data measurements. *(See the Submit Measurements endpoint in this API Reference.)*

    - The **Config API**, which you can use for configuration and management. *(All other endpoints in this API Reference.)*


    ## Authentication and Authorization

    Our APIs use an industry-standard authorization protocol known as the OAuth 2.0 specification. OAuth2 supports several grant types, each designed for a specific use case. m3ter uses the following two grant types:

    - **Authorization Code**: Used for human login access via the m3ter Console. - **Client Credentials**: Used for machine-to-machine communication and API access. Complete the following flow for API access:


    1. **Create a Service User and add Permissions**: Log in to the m3ter Console, go to **Settings**, **Access** then **Service Users** tab, and create a Service User. To enable API calls, grant the user **Administrator** permissions. 2. **Generate Access Keys**: In the Console, open the *Overview* page for the Service User by clicking on the name. Generate an **Access Key id** and **Api Secret**. Make sure you copy the **Api Secret** because it is only visible at the time of creation. See Service Authentication for detailed instructions and an example. 3. **Obtain a Bearer Token using Basic Auth**: We implement the OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials Grant authentication flow for Service User Authentication. Submit a request to the m3ter OAuth Client Credentials authentication flow, using your concatenated **Access Key id** and **Api Secret** to obtain a Bearer Token for your Service User. *See examples below.*


    4. **Bearer Token Usage**: Use the HTTP ''Authorization'' header with the bearer token to authorise all subsequent API requests. > Warning: The Bearer Token is valid for 18,000 seconds or 5 hours. When the token has expired, you must obtain a new one. Below are two examples for obtaining a Bearer Token using Basic Auth: the first in cURL and the second as a Python script. ### cURL Example

    1. Open your terminal or command prompt. 2. Use the following `cURL` command to obtain a Bearer Token:


    ```bash

    curl -X POST https://api.m3ter.com/oauth/token \

    -H ''Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'' \

    -u your_access_key_id:your_api_secret \

    -d ''grant_type=client_credentials''

    ```


    Replace `your_access_key_id` and `your_api_secret` with your actual **Access Key id** and **Api Secret**. 3. Run the command, and if successful, it will return a JSON response containing the Bearer Token. The response will look like this:


    ```json

    {

    "access_token": "your_bearer_token",

    "token_type": "Bearer",

    "expires_in": 18000

    }

    ```


    You can then use the Bearer Token *(the value of `"access_token"`)* for subsequent API calls to m3ter. ### Python Example

    1. Install the `requests` library if you haven''t already:


    ```bash

    pip install requests

    ```
