# Fetch pending command (long polling)

> The charger polls for pending commands using long polling. If no
command is available, the request hangs until the timeout expires
(default 30 seconds, max 60) or a command arrives.

**Related:** proposed remote diagnostic command types (`reboot`, `run_self_test`, `calibrate_sensor`, `fetch_logs`) are documented in [Proposed Extensions](https://developers.telluspowergroup.com/diagnostics/proposed-extensions).

  title: Tellus Open Platform API
  version: 1.3.0
  summary: Charger-platform integration API for CPMS, EMS, aggregators, and chargers.
  description: >
    The Tellus Open Platform API enables Charging Point Management Systems
    (CPMS),

    Energy Management Systems (EMS), aggregators and chargers themselves to
    integrate

    with the Tellus charging-platform infrastructure.


    The API is divided into three logical surfaces:


    - **Operator-side API** (`/v1/operator/...`) — used by CPMS, EMS, and
    aggregators
      to query the fleet, retrieve charging records, control chargers, schedule charging,
      issue load-flexibility commands, and subscribe to a real-time telemetry WebSocket.
    - **Charger-side API** (`/v1/device/...`) — used by chargers themselves for
      registration, heartbeat, telemetry, event reporting, charging-record upload,
      command fetching (long-polling), command-status reporting, and firmware-upgrade
      status.
    - **Operator-to-operator interop (legacy)** — an older roaming-style
    interface
      (PascalCase, PUT-based) used for data exchange between operator platforms,
      modelled after China's national charging-interop standard. Most modern partners
      should integrate via the Operator-side API instead.

    All requests use HTTPS (TLS 1.2 or higher). Plain HTTP is not supported.

    All bodies are `application/json`. Timestamps are ISO 8601 UTC.

    Energy is in kWh, power in kW, current in A, voltage in V, temperature in
    °C,

    and SOC is an integer percentage 0–100.


    Optional request signing using HMAC-SHA256 is supported for high-security

    operations (see §2.2.4 of the v1.3 specification).
