Creating a Connection With API​

The creation of a connection establishes a unidirectional messaging transport link to Nomosense. To do this, you need to use the Connections group resource:

  • POST/connections to create a new Connection instance
  • PUT/connections to update a Connection instance
  • DELETE/connections to delete a Connection instance
Note

We follow the REST-full API pattern, when updating configuration properties for a connection resource. Thus, you must also provide the whole configuration again.

Example for creation of a new connection instance :

POST /connections
{
  "name":"Actility To Nomosense",
  "connectorId":"actility-http-iot",
  "configuration": {
      "description": "My first Nomosense connection.",
      "destinationURL":"https://iot.nomosense.com/api/lora/message/actility-tpe?apikey={API KEY}"
  },
  "brand":"NOMOSENSE"
}

The following table lists the properties applicable to a connection instance.

FieldDescription
connectorIdMust be set to actility-http-iot for NOMOSENSE platform.
configuration/descriptionDescription of the application.
configuration/destinationURLMust be set to https://iot.nomosense.com/api/lora/message/actility-tpe?apikey={API KEY}.
brandMust be set to NOMOSENSE.
Important note

All properties are not present in this example. You can check the rest of these properties in the common parameters section.
