Steps
Create an account at dashboard.kaiterra.com, open the Developer page under your account Profile, and click 'Generate a new key' to obtain an API key.
Call GET https://api.kaiterra.com/v1/devices?key={apiKey} to list your registered Laser Egg/Sensedge devices and their ids.
Call the device-specific readings endpoint documented in github.com/kaiterra/api (e.g. /v1/devices/{deviceId}/...) to pull the latest PM2.5, CO2, VOC, temperature and humidity values.
Use the official Postman collection (postman.com/kaiterra) or a community client (kaiterra/python-kaiterra-client, or the async fork Michsior14/python-kaiterra-async-client) instead of hand-building requests.
Reference the GitHub examples/restv1-apikey.py file for a minimal working authenticated request pattern.
Known gotchas
Primary docs live at kaiterra.com/dev, with the GitHub repo serving as samples/mirror — check both, since the README can lag the hosted docs.
The consumer Laser Egg and commercial Sensedge lines share the same v1 API surface but expose different sensor fields per device — confirm a given device reports CO2 before assuming it does.
