Steps
Log into a ChargePoint Network Manager or API user account, open the Organizations tab, then the API Info sub-tab to generate a License Key and Password (or create a dedicated API User role for the integration).
Review the API plan tied to that account in ChargePoint's dashboard — available API calls and returned attributes are gated by plan and access rights, not by the SDK itself.
Build SOAP requests using WS-Security, placing the license key and password in the SOAP header of every call rather than as URL parameters.
Use station/port management calls to read status and control charging, and session calls to pull historical charging session and usage records for billing or reporting.
Reference the current WSDL and method list by logging into ChargePoint and going to Help > API Docs, since full documentation is not public outside an account.
Known gotchas
This is a legacy SOAP/WS-Security API, not REST/JSON — tooling and error handling look different from most modern vendor APIs.
Which calls and fields are available depends entirely on your ChargePoint API plan/access rights; a lower-tier plan can silently omit fields other integrations expect.
Access requires an existing ChargePoint Network Manager account (i.e., you must already operate stations on the network) — there's no general public sign-up for read-only data.
