CREATING A OPINUM CONNECTION

Collecting Expected Information​

Parameters required

FieldDescription
UsernameYour Opinum datahub username
PasswordYour 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.

FieldDescription
connectorIdMust be set to actility-http-iot for Opinum platform.
configuration/usernameMust be replaced by your Opinum datahub username.
configuration/passwordMust be replaced by your Opinum datahub password.
brandMust 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.
