Spring Boot Quickstart

Configure authentication, create a client, and complete the first platform call.

This guide shows how to integrate Station OpenAPI SDK into an existing Spring Boot 3 application and complete the first platform call. The minimum SDK runtime is JDK 17.

Obtain Platform Configuration

Contact your assigned technical support representative to obtain:

The Station OpenAPI root endpoint beginning with http:// or https://;
Either an AppKey and SecretKey pair or an Access Token;
The business operations permitted by those credentials.

The platform environment supplied by technical support is compatible with the SDK, so you do not need to choose a platform version. The endpoint may include a context path required by the deployment, but do not append an individual /remoteApi/* path.

Add the SDK to the Project

The SDK is distributed as GitHub source code and is not published to Maven Central. Choose one method:

Source integration: copy SDK core, the OkHttp transport, and the SPI resources into your project.
Private Nexus: build and publish the complete SDK modules, then depend on 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.

See Source and Dependency Integration for the exact directories and dependencies. If the SDK has already been published to your private Nexus, add:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.deeprobotics.station.openapi</groupId>
    <artifactId>station-openapi-sdk</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

This dependency resolves only after your private Nexus contains the complete SDK modules.

Create the Spring Boot Configuration

The Sample provides complete property binding and a singleton Client bean:

Both classes include explanatory comments, startup validation, and Client shutdown configuration. Copy them into your Spring Boot project and adjust the package declaration to match your application.

Keep StationOpenApiClient as a singleton bean. Do not create a new Client in controllers, services, or individual business calls.

Configure One Authentication Mode

The Sample separates common settings and the two authentication modes into three configuration files. Your application can use the same structure.

Token Mode

application.yml:

spring:
  profiles:
    active: token

station:
  openapi:
    endpoint: http://station.example.com
    connect-timeout: 3s
    read-timeout: 10s
    call-timeout: 15s

application-token.yml:

spring:
  config:
    activate:
      on-profile: token

station:
  openapi:
    auth-mode: ACCESS_TOKEN
    access-token: "<Access Token supplied by technical support>"

Signature Mode

Change spring.profiles.active in application.yml to signature, then add application-signature.yml:

spring:
  config:
    activate:
      on-profile: signature

station:
  openapi:
    auth-mode: SIGNATURE
    app-key: "<AppKey supplied by technical support>"
    secret-key: "<SecretKey supplied by technical support>"

Never enable both modes. Do not configure AppKey/SecretKey in Token mode, and do not configure an Access Token in signature mode. Store real credentials only in local configuration or the credential management system used by your project. Never commit them to a public repository.

See Authentication and Credentials for details.

Complete the First Call

Inject the singleton Client into a business service and begin with the platform time operation, which does not modify platform data:

import com.deeprobotics.station.openapi.sdk.StationOpenApiClient;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

@Service
public class StationConnectionService {

    private final StationOpenApiClient client;

    public StationConnectionService(StationOpenApiClient client) {
        this.client = client;
    }

    public String getPlatformTime() {
        return client.system().getTimeText();
    }
}

After that call succeeds, use the seven Sample services as references for the required business groups:

These classes build explicit SDK requests and call the public APIs without any additional backend dependencies.

Handle Results

Pagination uses pageNo, starting at 1. Do not use pageNum.
Every SDK exception extends StationOpenApiException. You may log its requestId, operation, code, and resultUnknown.
Never log complete request bodies, response bodies, or credentials.
If a write or control operation fails with resultUnknown=true, query the state or wait for an MQ message before deciding whether to repeat it.
Download files through the Path or OutputStream APIs.

See Retries and Result Confirmation and File Downloads for detailed behavior.

Run the Complete Sample

To inspect all 27 operations, request parameters, and response structures, run the Spring Boot Sample in IDEA and use Swagger UI.
