How to modify actuator using API

[cmachine]

Hi everyone, I wonder if is possible to modify an actuator (a simple LED for instance) using API. I could red data from my sensors and print it on another website, and now I need to interact via the API to a nodemcu and change the value of a LED.

Is a straighforward way to do this?

Thanks,

HI, yes sure you may access the device’s resources by the api.

Check the swagger documentation:
https://console.thinger.io/swagger/#/Devices

Hope this helps.

Hi, thank you EGA, but not sure how to do it.

For example, I have a resource “led” which is the BUILT_IN led of Arduino, I can turn on/off on the API page, but I can’t realize how to create the url to avoid the interface and turning on/of only via url. Any suggestion? Thanks.

Create Endpoints using API

Hello, I’m using self-hosted server and I would like to create an endpoint using your API, but right now in your docs no info is given. but as @alvarolb said that console is just angular frontend and uses REST api in backend to create or modify the resources. So can anyone please give me basic endpoint request and payload data & I’ll figure out the rest ? also https is broken while using endpoints. Thanks a lot!

Hope this helps
