Steps
Sign up on the igloohome API portal (web.igloohome.co/api/register) for self-serve API credentials
Authenticate requests with a bearer token in the Authorization header
POST to /igloohome/devices/{deviceId}/algopin/onetime with a JSON body including startDate (ISO 8601 with UTC offset), an accessName label, and a variance value controlling the PIN's validity tolerance
Read the response for pin and pinId; deliver the pin to the technician or guest and store pinId for later reference
Consult the full reference at igloocompany.stoplight.io/docs/igloohome-api for other device and webhook endpoints
Known gotchas
Generated PINs are algorithmic and offline-capable, so they work without the lock being connected — but that also means an already-communicated PIN can't be silently revoked without changing the lock's algorithm state
The self-serve igloohome API tier is a different product from the enterprise 'iglooworks' API used for multi-user roles and bulk provisioning; confirm which product the account is on
startDate must include a UTC offset (e.g. +08:00); omitting it can misalign the PIN's validity window
