CREATING A OPINUM CONNECTION

Collecting Expected Information

Parameters required

Field	Description
Username	Your Opinum datahub username
Password	Your Opinum datahub password

These two fields are credentials used during Opinum Data Hub connection.

Creating a Connection With API

The creation of a connection establishes a unidirectional messaging transport link to the cloud provider.

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 Opinum",
  "connectorId":"actility-http-iot",
  "configuration": {
      "username":"email@address.com",
      "password":"myPassword123"
  },
  "brand":"OPINUM"
}

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

Field	Description
connectorId	Must be set to actility-http-iot for Opinum platform.
configuration/username	Must be replaced by your Opinum datahub username.
configuration/password	Must be replaced by your Opinum datahub password.
brand	Must be set to OPINUM.

Important note

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