There is a place in the Flume web interface to generate an API key if you need it.
Flume has an API Guide and API Route Documentation on their website.

Was almost free after local water utility rebate. (With the caveat that they have access to my usage data, of course.) Perused the API docs a bit, but not having done anything of that nature before I haven't tried HS3 integration. Guessing something like Big5 may be a good approach, but I'd gladly support anyone interested in developing a PI specifically for it. Flume is $169 and a z-wave shutoff valve is $35-125. So other than the fact that you would need to talk to the API to know that something was amiss in order to shut the water off, it would achieve the same result at half the price?Yes, I believe so, although I can't speak to the relative reliability an accuracy of the two monitors. I know that my flume occasionally loses connection between the pulse reader and the hub, but that's not surprising given they're some distance apart and separated by 2 stone/plaster walls and a cast iron, in-ground meter box. There's a chance notification of water running could be delayed for some time period with my flume configuration, but the comm issues aren't frequent nor long-lasting typically. Right now the flume is on my utility meter which meters both irrigation and in-home water-which split immediately after the meter. I'm considering installing a separate pulse meter on the house line and move the flume to that meter so I can monitor for problems in the house independent of whether my sprinklers are on. That takes away monitoring for leaks in the irrigation system so haven't fully decided whether to make the change. Another upside to the change is I can put the new pulse meter in my garage near my water softener and much closer to the hub.It seems like every year we have a water leak in our irrigation system.

Last year, a cracked irrigation valve cost me $200 more on my water bill. This year, another cracked valve cost me $500 (facepalm). I decided to do something this time because it stresses me out thinking I might have leak and not know until I get the bill. I looked into direct line systems but with installation, it would be over a grand. I mean, I guess it could be worth it since they can shut the water line off and be more "turn key" but just remember that they are also technology, and as they ware out, you will need to replace them.
For me that, that means hiring plumbers ($$$). This solves that by being DIY and the price is way more affordable, even without factoring installation. Once received, I began adding the bridge and monitor to my account using their attached bar codes. When I went to connect the bridge to WiFi, I couldn't get it to connect.
