Smartvatten Data API: “Updated After” Feature

Using the query[updatedafter] Parameter to Sync Updated and Recalculated Data via Smartvatten API

P
Written by Pauliina Lupunen

The query[updatedafter] parameter allows you to retrieve all data that has been created, updated, or recalculated since a specific timestamp.

This makes it easy to keep your system synchronized with the latest Smartvatten data without defining a start and end date for each request.
​

How It Works

When the query[updatedafter] parameter is used, the API returns all values that have been updated after the specified timestamp, including any historical values that have been recalculated.

For example, if data from several months ago is corrected today, that value will be included in the response as long as it was updated after the timestamp you provide.
​

Parameter Details

Parameter: query[updatedafter]

Format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH

Example: 2025-07-25T01

Example Use Case

To keep your integration up to date:

  1. Store the timestamp of your last successful synchronization.

  2. Use that timestamp as the query[updatedafter] value in your next API request.

  3. The API will return all values that have been created, modified, or recalculated since that time.

Best Practices

  • Use the timestamp from your last successful synchronization.

  • Store the timestamp after each successful API call and reuse it for the next request.

  • Keep in mind that updates can be returned for data up to 2 years old.
