Adafruit IO API

Adafruit IO is a cloud-based data storage, management, and visualization service for Internet of Things (IoT) projects. Its functionality is able to display various types of data in real time and remotely control devices via the Internet: control the operation of motors and mechanisms, read data from sensors and perform a number of other operations. The site also has an online store for IoT equipment suitable for working with the platform.

Adafruit IO also provides integration of IoT projects with various web services, including popular social networks (Twitter and others), RSS feed, weather forecast services, etc. It can also be used to connect various IoT devices to each other and flexibly control their joint work. The service control panel allows you to visualize many types and formats of data, as well as manage them. For example, users can customize the display of data from temperature, humidity and air purity sensors, and then add a button to remotely turn on the air conditioner in their home to the dashboard.

Adafruit IO custom libraries support interoperability with most popular IoT systems, including Adafruit Feather Huzzah, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and more. For integration with external software and hardware, the platform provides an HTTP API interface ( https://io.adafruit.com/api/docs/#adafruit-io-http-api ). With it, developers can connect the functionality of Adafruit IO with any devices and software in any programming language that support integration via the HTTP API.

In order to set up remote access to data, you need to go through the authentication procedure by registering with the Adafruit IO service and downloading the API keys in your account. The self-integration procedure via the API requires at least basic programming knowledge or the help of specialists. However, you can save your time and money if you use the convenient no-code ApiX-Drive application connector. To do this, you just need to connect your accounts in the selected systems and allow automatic data transfer in a simple and understandable web interface.
