How to enable WhatsMiner API access
Several monitoring platforms need WhatsMiner API access for remote operations. Enable it only after password and firmware checks are complete.
This is an independent operator guide. Verify current downloads, firmware notes and warranty-sensitive actions on official WhatsMiner support pages before changing production miners.
API setup
Safe API enablement sequence
Add devices
Scan and select the WhatsMiner devices that need API access.
Change password
Set a non-default admin password through WhatsMiner Tool when required by the integration.
Open Remote Ctrl
Choose Miner API Switch and enable it for selected miners only.
Update the dashboard
Enter the same credentials in Awesome Miner, Hiveon ASIC Hub, minerstat or another monitoring system.
Security notes
Do not expose API access publicly
Credential scope
Use strong passwords and rotate them when operators or vendors change.
