1. You create an account

2. Log in with that account to the Clearspace app which uses on-device permission to report your data to the API

3. Use API key associated with that account to fetch your data or be notified about changes to it

Does that answer?

Yep. I love this, but does it require using the Cleaspace app / having a paid subscription?

No

> Does it require using clearspace

Yes in the sense that it needs to downloaded and logged in on your phone. No in the sense that you don't have to open it or use it after setup
