The Rhombus API gives you programmatic access to the full Rhombus platform across 863 endpoints. Built on an API-first architecture since 2016, every endpoint you see here is the same one that powers the Rhombus web console, mobile apps, and firmware. If you can do it in the Rhombus UI, you can do it through the API.

​
Authentication

Every request requires two headers for token-based authentication:
HeaderValue
x-auth-schemeapi-token
x-auth-apikeyYour API key from the Rhombus Console
curl -X POST https://api2.rhombussystems.com/api/org/getOrganization \
  -H "x-auth-scheme: api-token" \
  -H "x-auth-apikey: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'

​
Base URL

All API requests are made to one of two base URLs depending on the type of operation:
Base URLPurpose
https://api2.rhombussystems.comAll API endpoints (device management, configuration, events, users, etc.)
https://media.rhombussystems.comMedia and streaming operations (video clips, live streams, thumbnails)

​
Common Patterns

  • All requests use POST — every endpoint accepts a POST request with a JSON body, even for read operations.
  • All responses are JSON — responses follow a consistent JSON structure across the entire API.
  • Empty body for simple queries — endpoints that do not require parameters still expect an empty JSON object ({}).
