API & webhooks
An easy-to-use API and webhooks for your soil moisture data
SoilSense gives you full programmatic access to your soil data through a documented REST API and real-time webhooks — so it works with the farm software, dashboards, and automations you already run.
Your data, your way
Your readings don't have to stay locked inside an app. With the SoilSense API and webhooks, every measurement your sensors collect is yours to pull, push, and combine with the rest of your operation — no CSV wrangling, no lock-in.
REST API
Read every measurement with a simple REST API
Authenticate with a personal API key and read your farms, observation sites, and full measurement history as clean JSON.
# the latest reading for a site
curl https://api.app.soilsense.io/api/site/{siteId}/observations/latest \
-H "x-api-key: $SOILSENSE_API_KEY"

}All your soil data
Volumetric water content, temperature, salinity, and plant-available water at every depth, plus rainfall from connected rain gauges.
Farms, sites, and history
List your farms and observation sites, read their configuration, and query historical readings over any time range.
The latest reading, instantly
Fetch the most recent observation for any site in a single request — ideal for live dashboards and quick status checks.
Webhooks
Real-time webhooks push data straight to you
Instead of polling for updates, let SoilSense send data to your endpoint the moment it arrives.
Telemetry webhooks
New sensor readings are pushed to your endpoint in real time, ready to drop into your database, dashboard, or irrigation controller.
Attributes webhooks
Get notified whenever an observation site is created or changed, so your own records stay in sync automatically.
Signed and secure
Every webhook can be verified with an optional HMAC-SHA256 signature, so you know each request genuinely came from SoilSense.
