Displaying customer's tariff on-demand in your app
Once your customer has completed the Connect flow, you can use Connect to display the summary of their tariff inside your app.
This implementation also allows your customers to reconfigure their tariff, notify you if they switch energy providers, or revoke tariff sharing consent entirely.
You don’t need to implement any new features in your app. All you need to do is pass the location_id
parameter when obtaining the Connect token:
Create a Connect token
You will be starting a new session with Connect, so you must create a new Connect token. Go to create-connect-token API endpoint and include the following parameters in your request:
-
Set
location_id
to where you want to display the tariff summary. -
Set
callback_uri
to any page that can accept callbacks. -
Set
connect_web_uri
to the URL where Connect-web is running (http://localhost:7070 in this example).
Open Connect-web in your browser
For this example, we presume that you are running Connect-web locally on your computer. Open http://localhost:7070?fp_cot=cot_***
. replacing cot*** with the connect_token
you obtained in previous step. The resulting URI may look similar to this example:
Tariff summary will load
Connect will return the tariff summary page. It will have controls that your customer can use to re-enter their tariff, exit the tariff summary view or disconnect their tariff (the latter will completely disable Connect in that location).
