As I look at the Suprema, the API looks pretty sweet, nice that they have the API docs publicly available with no hoops to jump through, etc: https://api.biostar2.com/v1/docs/#QuickStartLogin The only catch I see in the API that it talks to their cloud service instead of direct to the controller so there's a external dependency. Even so, I might have to play with one.
