Provide manufacturer API

Would be great for manufacturers to be able to publish data into Hotspotty via an API. For example, some manufacturers (like SenseCAP and Nebra) are building dashboards to monitor/manage their hotspots.
However, others do not have this ability. Would be nice to give a manufacturer API that allows all manufactures (with a public/private key pair) to be able to integrate with Hotspotty.
Example use cases include directly upload status info from the devices, perhaps as a JSON structured data set of attributes (firmware version, serial number, manufacturing date, build batch, CPU temp, SD card free space).
And a webhook callback API that would allow integrating features like remote reboot/etc. for those devices that support it.
Charge manufacturers to provide these features (small $ amount per hotspot per month) so they don't have to build an always available dashboard.
Hotspotty adds these as premium features for fleet management. Reboot remotely, force resyncs,

Sensecap has an API too

OrangeKitty: We are trying to reach out to the manufacturers about this. Many of them simply don't reply. But we will keep pushing for it. Also if you get in touch with them, tell them to contact us

LongAP already have an api. Would be worth integrating that if it’s not already done

The first manufacturer/App to integrate a remote reboot option will be forever immortalized in the Helium Hall of Fame!

If you could get the other mfr to use the Hotspotty API, that would be something I'd pay for.
