Steps
Set up a Vendon Cloud account and enable API access for the operator's telemetry-connected machines.
Use the documented API endpoints (Vendon provides an interactive reference) to configure automatic retrieval of machine data.
Pull machine status, sales, payments, product data, and stock/ingredient levels for the connected fleet.
Use the API's bi-directional capability to push data into Vendon Cloud, not just read from it, if syncing from an external inventory/ERP system.
Check for existing pre-built connectors (e.g., the Odoo Vendon connector) before building a custom client.
Known gotchas
Vendon's API is bi-directional (push and pull) — a purely read-oriented integration design may miss the intended pattern of writing data back to Vendon Cloud.
Which data fields are available (temperature, cleaning/maintenance data, refunds, etc.) depends on the specific telemetry hardware unit connected to a given machine — not all machines expose the full field set.
Vendon's public materials describe the API's existence and capabilities but do not publish full endpoint/schema details outside their account-gated docs — confirm exact request/response shapes after gaining account access rather than assuming a fixed REST convention.
