Introduction

GateVia turns any GSM-enabled barrier into a programmable resource. The dashboard at app.gatevia.app lets a person open gates from their phone. The public API at api.gatevia.app lets a system do the same — at scale, on a schedule, in response to a booking.

What this site covers

• Quickstart. Get an API key and make your first call in 5 minutes.
• Authentication. Bearer API keys (gv_live_…), created per Space in the dashboard, with granular scopes.
• API reference. REST endpoints for gates, members & access and history.

Coming soon

• Webhooks. Subscribe to gate.opened, gate.failed, member.created, access.used. HMAC SHA-256 signed.
• Integration guides. End-to-end recipes for hotel PMS check-in/out, coworking day passes, event-based access.
