The token is valid for 30 minutes and is used to authenticate subsequent Verkada API calls. ## How it works 1. **Link your customer's Verkada account.** Use Truto's frontend SDK; we handle every OAuth and API key flow so you don't need to create the OAuth app. 2. **Authentication is automatic.** Truto refreshes tokens, stores credentials securely, and injects them into every API request. 3. **Call Truto's API to reach Verkada.** The Proxy API is a 1-to-1 mapping of the Verkada API. 4. **Get a unified response format.** Every response uses a single shape, with cursor-based pagination and data in the `result` field. ## Use cases - **Overlay SaaS events onto Verkada video with Helix** — Retail, manufacturing, and support platforms can push their own transactional or operational events into Verkada Command, making video footage searchable by business context like POS voids, machine faults, or ticket IDs. - **Automate visitor and workforce access provisioning** — HRIS, IdP, and visitor management platforms can create Verkada users, assign entry codes, activate BLE credentials, and revoke access on offboarding — eliminating manual keycard workflows for facilities teams. - **Power space utilization analytics with real occupancy data** — Workplace and real estate SaaS platforms can pull camera-based people counts and occupancy trends from Verkada to give customers objective utilization data across their portfolio. - **Automate yard and gate management with LPR** — Logistics and fleet platforms can consume Verkada LPR zone records to log truck arrivals and dwell times, then trigger gate unlocks programmatically when authorized plates are detected. - **Centralize GSOC dispatch and emergency response** — Public safety and mass notification platforms can pull camera alerts, sensor alerts, and access events from Verkada — and programmatically activate lockdown or evacuation scenarios during incidents. ## What you can build - **Bi-directional Helix event sync** — Push, search, update, and delete custom events in Verkada Command so your platform's data becomes a native filter inside the customer's video timeline. - **Automated credential lifecycle management** — Provision Verkada access users, assign entry codes, activate/deactivate BLE and remote unlock, issue access cards, and enroll Face Unlock — all triggered by lifecycle events in your product. - **Programmatic door and scenario control** — Ship a remote unlock feature and one-click emergency lockdown by wiring your UI to Verkada's door unlock and access scenario activation endpoints. - **Real-time occupancy and environmental dashboards** — Embed live people counts, occupancy trends, and sensor readings (temperature, PM2.5, CO2, vape index, noise) from Verkada cameras and sensors directly inside your product. - **LPR-driven automation workflows** — Manage plates of interest, read LPR zone records with dwell times, and pull plate images to build automated yard, parking, and fleet workflows. - **Unified physical security audit feed** — Stream access events, guest visits, camera alerts, sensor alerts, and audit logs into your platform to give compliance and security teams a single source of truth. ## FAQs ### How does authentication work for Verkada through Truto? Verkada uses API key authentication scoped per organization. Your end users provide their Verkada API key during the connection flow in Truto, and Truto handles token exchange, storage, and rotation so you never touch raw credentials. ### Which Verkada products are covered by the available tools? The integration covers Verkada Command across Cameras (footage, thumbnails, analytics, alerts), Access Control (users, credentials, doors, schedules, scenarios), Helix (custom events), Guest, Alarms, Sensors, LPR, Viewing Stations, and Audit Logs. ### Can I push custom event data into Verkada video timelines? Yes. Using the Helix event tools you can create single or bulk events, define custom event types with your own fields, and update or delete them later — enabling searchable overlays on Verkada footage. ### How fresh is the data I can pull — is it real-time or polled? Most Verkada endpoints are REST-based and polled on your schedule (access events, LPR records, sensor data, occupancy trends). For lower-latency device state, Verkada also supports MQTT configuration, which is exposed via the MQTT config tools. ### How does Truto handle pagination and rate limits for Verkada? Truto normalizes Verkada's cursor-based pagination across list endpoints and manages retries and backoff when Verkada's per-endpoint rate limits are hit, so you receive complete result sets without writing that logic yourself. ### Can I retrieve live video or just metadata? Both. In addition to metadata (events, alerts, analytics), you can retrieve footage streaming URLs, generate footage tokens and shareable links, and fetch camera thumbnails or the latest thumbnail image on demand. ## Related reading - [Connect Verkada to ChatGPT: Analyze Security Footage & Event Data](https://truto.one/blog/connect-verkada-to-chatgpt-analyze-security-footage-event-data/) — Learn how to securely connect Verkada to ChatGPT using a managed MCP server.
