A 3.1
The HTTP-based API allows interrogation and modification of the sensor configuration and current states.
All sensor details are available in this manner. For example, the integrated web application communicates
with the sensor exclusively via the API.
The API thus allows integration of the sensors in your own tool chain and processes (data collection, ERP
integration, backup, monitoring, ...).
The API is REST compatible, thus supporting following HTTP requests:
- GET
- POST
- PUT
- DELETE
A 3.2
The following manual queries are intended only as examples for use of the API.
All programming languages and development environments typically provide HTTP libraries with simple ac-
cess for integration of your own tools.
