What are Croplets?

Croplets are apps on our Dacom platform.

Croplets allow you to extend the Dacom platform with your own developed app. Users of the Dacom platform will be able to install your Croplet on their farm and use the functionality you provide in your Croplet.
E.g. you can create your own weather Croplet and make it avaiable on the apps page

Dacom API

To integrate you Croplet even more with the Dacom platform we developed an API. Through this API you can access the data of a user who installed your Croplet on his/her farm.
E.g. through this API use can access the address of the user's farm and use this to give an accurate weather forecast.

To use the API you need an access token to retrieve data on behalf of the farm which has your Croplet installed. You acquire an access token using an OAuth authentication. See the OAuth tutorial how to get an access token for the API.

Publish the Croplet

Every Croplet you create needs to be published by Dacom. Once your Croplet was approved and published on the Dacom platform, users of the Dacom platform will be able to find it on the apps page and install it on their farm.
