**APIs profiled:** 1

Verkada is a cloud-managed physical security company whose platform spans security cameras, access control, environmental and air-quality sensors, alarms, intercoms, visitor/guest management, and workplace safety, all administered through Verkada Command. Its public Command API is a REST interface (JSON over HTTPS, standard HTTP status codes) that lets developers programmatically manage cameras and footage, access-control users, doors, credentials and schedules, sensor and alarm data, guest events, Helix video tagging, and organization audit logs. Authentication uses a scoped API Key that mints short-lived 30-minute tokens (x-verkada-auth), with region-specific hosts for the United States, Europe, Australia, and GovCloud, plus HMAC-signed event webhooks for cameras, access, alarms, and guest.
