How to integrate Kisi
This page is for developers and partners building a custom integration on top of Kisi. Whether you're embedding access control into your own app, syncing users from an external system, or automating door unlocks, this is where to start.
Before reaching out to the Kisi team, review the integration methods to decide what kind of integration you want to build. This determines what sandbox setup, hardware, and SDK access you will need.
Get started
Step 1: Contact the Kisi team to get a sandbox account
Fill out the Become a Kisi Integration Partner form on the integrations page to get in touch with the Kisi team. Include your integration name, a brief description of your use case, and the current status of your integration. Scroll down on the page to find the form. The team will follow up to set up your sandbox account and generate your API keys.
Step 2: Get hardware
Purchase the hardware you need for testing directly from the Kisi shop. What you need depends on your integration method.
Step 3: Request SDK access (optional)
If your integration requires tap to unlock or MotionSense inside your own mobile app, you will need SDK access. Request this through the same Kisi team contact from step 1.
Step 4: Build your integration
With your sandbox account, API keys, and hardware in place, you are ready to build. The API quick start walks you through making your first API call.
