Hi, I have an IoT platform of a few devices (using cellular modems) and would like to display data on my site that has been gathered and sent by my remote hardware. I have no problem with writing the embedded code, and sending data across my private network (receiving it using a Python script) but I wondered if there is any example or guidance on how to use the Corvid API to securely accumulate incoming “machine” data into a collection or other database object in my website?
I appreciate that there’s probably a lot of background knowledge required that I don’t fully appreciate, but any pointers would be gratefully received.
You can expose a site API which can be used to log data from your devices. See these examples:
Hi Yisrael, great posts… I’ve taken some time to digest them and set up Corvid, a collection/dataset and got to the point of posting with Postman. I’ve moved to my embedded board which uses a u-blox cellular modem and run into a bit of trouble. I’ve managed to set up using the AT commands to POST to httpbin content of type application/json and received a response confirming the body type. The AT commands specify a and where it wants the content to be posted to (?) and u-blox examples suggest this is a file. I’ve tried as my domain base URL and the set to be the API suffix (“_functions/foo”), also tried the whole API URL in the and blank , also “/post” in the (which i used successfully with httpbin.org)) but I’m not getting any success. The modem returns an error and no response “body” is stored (the u-blox should store this as a file on-board). I have looked to see if you have an AT command based example, you might do, but I can’t find one. If you can point me in the right direction I’d be really grateful - I feel like I’m quite close.
