JSON call with REST

[Zouz83]

Hi, I'm trying to find how to get the JSON data from my device. Could someone tell me if there is a way to do it by simple REST call like this api: http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/daily?lat=1.350069&lon=103.696728&units=metric&cnt=7

i tryed that: https://enableiot.com/v1/api/accounts/9ccc...{my account ID}/data/search an i get error 404 Not found.

that would be usefull for calling the api from a device like a phone only get data no put or delete.

Thanks

It's probably just a problem with address; try using host dashboard.us.enableiot.com. The request URL should then be:

https://dashboard.us.enableiot.com/v1/api/accounts/9ccc...{your account ID}/data/search

Wiki page covering data API: https://github.com/enableiot/iotkit-api/wiki/Data-API

If you still experience this problem, please paste the full API request.

In the Authorization header you must provide your user JWT token. You can obtain your user token as explained here: https://github.com/enableiot/iotkit-agent/wiki/Authorization-API

What you'll need:

• You have to have created your account using "local" credentials - not OAuth
• Your email and password
• Your account id, which you can get from your account tab
• Your device id, which you can see in the device list
• The ComponentID of the time series, which you can get by going to the device page, expanding the "Components" section, clicking on the component you want to retrieve. That should take you to the "Component Definition" page. The Component ID is the GUID displayed in the upper right under the icon.
  1. You need to authenticate. The API for that is documented here: https://github.com/enableiot/iotkit-api/wiki/Authorization
  2. Add the token to the Authorization header for subsequent calls.

Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAi...

1. Call the data search API documented here: https://github.com/enableiot/iotkit-api/wiki/Data-API#retrieve-data

Replace the accountId, deviceId and componentID and then POST.

POST accounts/{accountId}/data/search
{
  "from": 0,
  "targetFilter": {
    "deviceList": [
      "<device ID>"
    ]
  },
  "metrics": [
    {
      "id": "<component_id>",
      "op": "none" 
    }
  ]
}

If you'd like to see Python or Node.js examples of how to do this, please see:

somewhere i still don't get that to work my call is:

curl -g https://dashboard.us.enableiot.com/v1/api/accounts/9ccc.../data/search -H 'Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1Q...' --data '{"from": 0,"targetFilter": {"deviceList": ["00...."]}, "metrics": [{"id": "f659....", "op": "none"}]}'

{"code":400,"message":"Invalid request","errors":["targetFilter is missing and it is required","metrics is missing and it is required"," undefinedThe property {\"from\":0,\"targetFilter\":{\"deviceList\": is not defined in the schema and the schema does not allow additional properties"]}

I will continue looking and hopefully get that to work on objective c later on. Thanks a lot

Finally for it to work i had to add the header -H 'Content-type: application/json' For the ones who want to try curl is: curl -g https://dashboard.us.enableiot.com/v1/api/accounts/{AccountID}/data/search -H 'Authorization: Bearer {Token here}' -H 'Content-type: application/json' -X POST --data '{"from":0,"targetFilter":{"deviceList":["{DeviceID}"]},"metrics":[{"id":"{here ID of the sensor}","op":"none"}]}'
