Collecting data from an http post device in the field

Anvil Q&A
#1

Hi there,

I am trying to get data from a device in the field using http post

The device has a push function:

My understanding is the process is:

a) create an ‘endpoint’ in anvil.

b) use the link generated by the ‘endpoint’ in the anvil server window as the ‘host url’ for the device to push data to.

Am I on the right track? Any ideas on how to implement would be helpful.

That all sounds reasonable. I’d suggest creating the endpoint and testing it using something like https://resttesttest.com/ before trying to integrate your device.
