ACARiS Cow API
The ACARiS Cow API lets other software, e.g. your herd management system, fetch
your farm’s data automatically: animals, pens, lameness scores and current
alerts. Access is read-only and limited to your farm. Data comes in the
industry standard ICAR.
Getting access
In the ACARiS dashboard, go to Einstellungen → Betrieb → API-Zugang, create
a key and accept the API terms of use.
The key is shown only once – please keep it safe. You can revoke it there at
any time and see when it was used.
Fetching data
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR-KEY" https://acaris.net/api/cow/v1/index.php/locations

Alerts
You get the same alerts as in the dashboard, each with the animal, the score and
the follow-up status (e.g. new, seen, hoof trimmer scheduled). Scores support
your decisions; they don’t replace a veterinary examination.
