Hi,  
I want to use your Web Thing API in my .NetCore project to to access the properties of devices and request the execution of actions.  
Where can I find this API and how can I use it in my project?  
Thanks

Are you wanting to control the gateway? The API is documented here: [https://iot.mozilla.org/wot/](https://iot.mozilla.org/wot/)

In your gateway UI, you can navigate to _Settings -\> Developer_ and create a local authentication token to use with your API calls.

thanks for your reply,  
I don’t know how can I have access to the URL of this API to call it .  
for example I want to send the request of turning the lamp on, but I can’t figure out what to call for this action.  
or how to implement this API on our devices…
