Steps
Distinguish which Vendron API is needed: Vendron Socket API (local, machine-side plugin integration) versus Vendron Cloud API (remote, internet-based third-party integration).
Use Vendron Cloud API's REST interface to list all vending machines under an operator with current product info, promotions, and pricing.
Implement remote dispense: trigger the vending machine to dispense a selected item once a mobile payment is confirmed in your app.
Support QR-code-triggered product lookups, displaying product description/image when a customer scans a machine's code.
For machine-side customization (new hardware, custom purchase flows), build against the Socket API/plugin framework instead of the Cloud API.
Known gotchas
Socket API and Cloud API solve different problems (on-machine plugin/hardware integration vs. remote third-party app integration) — picking the wrong one is the most common early mistake integrators make.
Silkron's public site describes Cloud API capabilities (REST, remote dispense, listings) at a marketing level; detailed endpoint/auth specs require contacting Silkron directly — don't assume specific paths or payloads without their integration docs.
Remote dispense is gated on payment confirmation in-app; the machine will not dispense from a Cloud API call alone without a completed payment step in the flow.
