Converting from xively to thinger.io

1

I’m reviving an Electric Imp project that previously worked with xively.com.
The agent code that was working looks like:

local request = http.put(xively_url, {"X-ApiKey":API_KEY, "Content-Type":"text/csv", "User-Agent":"Xively-Imp-Lib/1.0"}, feedCSV);

Can I post data in a similar way to thinger.io?

More detail here: Updated original april_temp_sensor to remove use of deprecated methods, to remove the use of pin2 for activating the lamp, and to use CSV format for communication with xively.com. Also added agent code taken from https://xively.com/dev/tutorials/electric_imp to which I have made trivial modifications. · GitHub

Hi, you will need to create an HTTP device in the platform. In the Callback section of the device, you will see details for sending information, i.e.:

curl \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9......." \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/plain, */*" \
  -X POST \
  -d '{"lat":40.416775,"lng":-3.70379,"temperature":23.33,"humidity":32.44}' \
  https://backend.thinger.io/v3/users/alvarolb/devices/GeofenceTest/callback/data

So, your request should be something like this (adapting your username, device id, bearer, etc)…:

local request = http.post("http://backend.thinger.io/v3/users/alvarolb/devices/GeofenceTest/callback/data", {"Authorization":"Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9......." , "Content-Type":"application/json", "User-Agent":"Xively-Imp-Lib/1.0"}, yourJson);
