Developer Resources & Public API

Everything an integrator or AI agent needs to work with EDGEBIC by User Solutions: an open content API, the licensing REST API, an OpenAPI 3.0 specification, llms.txt, and markdown content negotiation.

OpenAPI Specification llms.txt

The User Solutions EDGEBIC Public API

A public REST API at https://usersolutions.com/api. Content endpoints under /api/v1/ need no authentication and are CORS-enabled: the product catalog with list prices, and keyword search plus full markdown bodies for the 2,400-article knowledge base. Licensing endpoints cover self-service license requests, seat-based device activation, runtime validation, seat release, and seat-gated software updates for the EDGEBIC / EDGEBI desktop applications; the license key is the credential. Every error is structured JSON with a code, a message, and a resolution hint.

Open content API (no authentication)

Method	Path	Operation	Auth	Description
GET	/api/v1/products	listProducts	None	The EDGEBIC editions currently sold, with list prices, licensing model, and links.
GET	/api/v1/articles	searchArticles	None	Search the 2,400-article knowledge base by keyword, category, or cluster. Paginated.
GET	/api/v1/articles/{slug}	getArticle	None	One knowledge-base article with its full markdown body and FAQ.

EDGEBIC licensing API (license key is the credential)

Method	Path	Operation	Auth	Description
POST	/api/license/request	requestLicense	None	Submit a self-service license request for a device.
GET	/api/license/request	pollLicenseRequest	None	Poll for approval and pick up the issued license key.
POST	/api/license/activate	activateLicense	License key	Activate a license on a device (consumes one seat; idempotent per machine).
POST	/api/license/validate	validateLicense	License key	Runtime check that a device still holds an active seat.
POST	/api/license/deactivate	deactivateLicense	License key	Release a device's seat so another machine can use it.
POST	/api/software/latest	checkSoftwareUpdates	License key	Seat-gated software update check for the calling customer.
GET	/api/software/download	downloadSoftware	Download token	Download an installer with a short-lived, license-bound token.
GET	/api/health	healthCheck	None	Service health and running version.

Full request/response schemas, authentication, device-fingerprint headers, and rate limits are defined in the OpenAPI specification.

Example: search the knowledge base

curl 'https://usersolutions.com/api/v1/articles?q=finite+capacity+scheduling&limit=3'

# 200 → { "total": 412, "limit": 3, "offset": 0,
#         "items": [ { "slug": "...", "url": "...", "markdownUrl": "...",
#                      "title": "...", "description": "...", ... } ] }

curl https://usersolutions.com/api/v1/articles/edgebic-complete-guide
# 200 → the article with its full markdown "body" and "faq"

curl https://usersolutions.com/api/v1/products
# 200 → { "vendor": {...}, "products": [ { "name": "EDGEBIC APS", "price": { "amount": 25000, ... } }, ... ] }

Example: validate a license

curl -X POST https://usersolutions.com/api/license/validate \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "licenseKey": "NTCB-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX",
    "systemFingerprint": "9a1f...",
    "processorId": "BFEBFBFF000906EA"
  }'

# 200 → { "valid": true, "purchaseId": "...", "seats": 6 }
# 403 → { "valid": false, "error": "System validation failed" }

Machine-Readable Resources

OpenAPI 3.0 specification

The complete API surface with operation IDs, typed request/response schemas, and error envelopes. Compatible with code generators and LLM function calling.

API index (JSON)

Machine-readable directory of every public endpoint, returned as JSON from the API root.

llms.txt

The agent-oriented site guide: products, pricing, key pages, and the 2,400-article knowledge base index.

llms-full.txt

Extended long-form reference for AI assistants.

sitemap.xml

The complete, authoritative URL list for the whole site.

Markdown Content Negotiation

Every page answers Accept: text/markdown and sends Vary: Accept. The homepage, this page, and every article under /blog/ return a native markdown variant; other pages return their HTML; unknown paths return a markdown 404 with recovery links.
