Building on eConnect Core: Documenting the v2 API

· 5 min read

eConnect CTO @ eConnect

eConnect Core v11 ships with a new REST API, and we wanted the documentation for it to be good enough that a developer — or an AI agent — could go from nothing to a working integration in an afternoon. Here's what we built, and how.

Executive summary

  • The v2 API: a REST API over all of eConnect Core — 688 endpoints across 14 modules, JSON in and out, with JWT bearer tokens for sign-in.
  • A new developer section: getting started, an architecture page with diagrams, a map of the whole API, and a reference page for every module.
  • Guides for pushing data in: step-by-step pages for sending casino ratings, TITO tickets, POS transactions, face detections and plate reads into eConnect from your own systems.
  • A downloadable OpenAPI schema, per release, so you can generate a typed client in your own language. Version 11.0 is up now.
  • Generated from the server itself: the reference pages come from the schema the server publishes, so the docs describe the API that actually runs.

A New User Manual for eConnect Core v11 — and How We Built It

eConnect Core v11 is the biggest release we have ever shipped — a brand-new client on the desktop and in the browser, Ace, Semantic Search, the Workspace and a lot more. A release like that needs a manual to match, so we wrote one from scratch.

Executive summary

  • A new user manual for v11: 155 pages across 11 chapters, from your first sign-in through every module to administration. It replaces the WPF-era guides.
  • Pictures on almost every page: 95 screenshots, cropped to the thing being described, with red arrows and numbered steps where your eye needs to land.
  • Every screenshot comes from a live system, automatically. When the interface changes, we re-run a script instead of re-taking a hundred pictures by hand — so the manual keeps up with the product.
  • Privacy is built in. Names, faces and plates are masked before the picture is taken, and a screenshot that fails a check is never published.
  • Rebuilt release notes: the v11.0 release notes are now written for the person deciding whether to upgrade.

Exciting News: eConnect Now Integrates Face Recognition and LPR with Dallmeier Hemisphere

We’re thrilled to announce a powerful new integration that’s available now: eConnect’s cutting-edge Face Recognition capabilities can seamlessly send events directly to the Dallmeier Hemisphere system. This update unlocks a new level of efficiency and control for your security workflows, combining eConnect’s advanced identity and vehicle recognition technology with Dallmeier’s robust video management platform.

What This Means for You

With this integration, Face Rec and LPR events captured by eConnect can now flow effortlessly into the Dallmeier Hemisphere system. Once received, these events can be harnessed to trigger custom alert workflows tailored to your specific needs. Whether it’s identifying a known individual entering your premises or tracking a vehicle by its license plate, you’ll have the tools to respond faster and smarter.

But that’s not all! We’re also bringing the eConnect Identities interface directly into the Dallmeier environment. This means you can manage identities, monitor live face streams, and oversee recognition events—all from within the familiar Dallmeier Hemisphere interface. It’s a streamlined experience that keeps your security operations centralized and intuitive.

Why This Integration Matters The combination of eConnect’s AI-driven recognition technology and Dallmeier’s Hemisphere platform is a game-changer for industries like hospitality, gaming, retail, and beyond. By bridging these two systems, we’re empowering you to:

Enhance situational awareness with real-time face and vehicle data. Automate responses to potential security events using Hemisphere’s alert workflows. Simplify identity management without juggling multiple platforms.

How to Get Started Ready to take advantage of this integration? It’s compatible with all Dallmeier Hemisphere systems, and enabling it is as simple as reaching out to our support team.
