API de QuickFreeze QFM

Read live status and control your QFM units from your WMS or building-automation system — set cycle times, record what is on the pallet, pause and resume fans.

Your software addresses each unit by its Número de serie de QFM (printed on the unit) plus the rack location you have on file for it. Everything runs through one secured endpoint, scoped to your facility’s own units. The serial is permanent — when a control box is replaced, the API resolves the serial to whichever box is installed at that moment, so a swap needs no change on your side.

the same address for every customer — your key scopes it to your units

Encabezado de autenticación

X-QF-API-Key: {tu-clave-de-API} — issued per facility; TLS 1.2+ required

Métodos

HTTP OBTENER (parámetros de consulta) o PUBLICAR (Cuerpo JSON)

Respuestas

Reads return 200 with the unit’s live state; commands return 202 accepted. Every failure is JSON with a stable error code — a missing or wrong key returns 401.

User-Agent

Please send an identifying agent, e.g. YourCompany-WMS/1.0. Our edge blocks a few known automated-client signatures; if you ever receive an HTML 403 instead of JSON, tell us and we will allow your client.

1. Identifying a unit

Every request carries two identifiers, and both must match our records:

If the serial exists but the rack does not match, the request is refused and the reply tells you which rack we have on file (409 rack_mismatch). A stale or mis-keyed mapping in the WMS can never make us act on the wrong unit. A serial belonging to another customer returns 403, even with a correct rack.

2. Poll a unit (read latest)

COMMAND=poll is the default and may be omitted. Polling is read-only and cannot affect equipment.

curl -H "X-QF-API-Key: {your-api-key}" -H "User-Agent: YourCompany-WMS/1.0" \
  "https://qfreeze.com/wp-json/qf/v1/qfm?QFM_SERIAL=QFM-12107&RACK_LOCATION=2X-001B&COMMAND=poll"

→ 200 {"ok":true,"QFM_SERIAL":"QFM-12107","RACK_LOCATION":"2X-001B",
       "controlBox":"F8B3B74E6E7C","ts":1786143610000,"state":"READY",
       "airtF":3.4,"airtC":-15.89,"deltap":0.01,
       "remaining":172800,"active":true,"SKU":"I1-123456"}

3. Commands

Three commands are available: set_cycle, pausa y currículum. Commands are asynchronous: we validate and authorise the request, return 202, then apply it to the unit a moment later. Anything we cannot act on is rejected up front with a 4xx and an error code — we never return 202 for a command that would quietly do nothing. To confirm a change reached the unit, poll it afterwards.

Set cycle time and cycle details — set_cycle

Send any combination — at least one. Only PO? Fine. Pallet details on a cycle that is already running, without touching its run time? Fine. If you send any of these fields without a COMANDO, we treat it as set_cycle.

curl -H "X-QF-API-Key: {your-api-key}" -H "User-Agent: YourCompany-WMS/1.0" \
  "https://qfreeze.com/wp-json/qf/v1/qfm?QFM_SERIAL=QFM-12107&RACK_LOCATION=2X-001B\
&COMMAND=set_cycle&INCUBATION=48&ITEM_NUMBER=I1-123456&PALLET_TAG=LP-4471&PO=PO12345"

→ 202 {"ok":true,"accepted":true,"QFM_SERIAL":"QFM-12107","RACK_LOCATION":"2X-001B",
       "controlBox":"F8B3B74E6E7C","COMMAND":"set_cycle",
       "applied":{"cycleTimeHours":48,"SKU":"I1-123456","PALLET_TAG":"LP-4471","PO":"PO12345"},
       "cycleTimeChanged":true}

applied lists exactly what we acted on and cycleTimeChanged says whether the run time moved — you never have to assume. An INCUBACIÓN we cannot use rejects the whole call; we will not quietly apply just the metadata.

Cycle time from the SKU

Let the item code decide the run time instead of sending INCUBACIÓN every call: &COMMAND=set_cycle&ITEM_NUMBER=I1-123456. The library builds itself from your calls: the first call that carries an item code with an explicit INCUBACIÓN teaches us that item’s run time, and later calls can send the code alone. A new item without hours is registered but the run time is left unchanged — the reply says so with cycleTimeChanged:false and a warning. An explicit INCUBACIÓN always wins.

Detener / reanudar los ventiladores

pausa stops the fans and freezes the cycle timer in place; currículum continues from exactly where it stopped. DURACIÓN (minutes, optional) is a dead-man auto-resume: if your system never sends currículum, the unit restores itself. We recommend sending it on every pause.

curl -H "X-QF-API-Key: {your-api-key}" \
  "https://qfreeze.com/wp-json/qf/v1/qfm?QFM_SERIAL=QFM-12107&RACK_LOCATION=2X-001B&COMMAND=pause&DURATION=30"

curl -H "X-QF-API-Key: {your-api-key}" \
  "https://qfreeze.com/wp-json/qf/v1/qfm?QFM_SERIAL=QFM-12107&RACK_LOCATION=2X-001B&COMMAND=resume"

Repeating a command

All three commands are safe to send again — set_cycle sets a value rather than adding to one, and pausa/currículum set a state. Re-sending after a timeout will not compound.

4. Error responses

Alert on the error code, not the message text — messages may be reworded, codes will not change.

{"ok":false,"error":"rack_mismatch",
 "message":"RACK_LOCATION does not match the rack recorded for QFM-12107. Refusing to act on a possibly wrong unit.",
 "expectedRackLocation":"2X-001B"}

Retries: poll and all commands are safe to retry. Use exponential backoff on 502; do not retry 4xx — they will not succeed without a change to the request.

Identidad y seguridad

• Each facility authenticates with its own API key and is authorised to its own units only.
• UBICACIÓN_DEL_RACK debe coincidir con la ubicación asociada a ese QFM_SERIAL or the request is refused — this prevents adjusting the wrong unit.
• Las unidades se identifican mediante Serie QFM, which stays stable across control-box swaps; controlBox in every response shows which box answered.
• Keep your API key out of email threads and shared files. QuickFreeze may rate-limit excessive request volumes.
