Using the Geostreams API

The best way to get datapoints by sensor id in the example below.

You can get

task	curl	inputs	instructions
get all sensors	curl -X GET -H 'Accept: /' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' -H 'User-Agent: python-requests/2.19.1' --compressed https://greatlakestogulf.org/geostreams/api/sensors


authenticate	curl -X POST -H 'Accept: /' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' -H 'Content-Length: 63' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'User-Agent: python-requests/2.19.1' -d '{"password": "****", "identifier": "email"}' --compressed -i https://greatlakestogulf.org/geostreams/api/authenticate	password email url	In the response will be X-Auth-Token: followed by the alphanumeric security token

get all datapoints for a single sensor	curl -X GET -H 'Accept: /' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' -H 'Content-Encoding: application/json' -H 'User-Agent: python-requests/2.19.1' -H 'x-auth-token: token' --compressed 'https://greatlakestogulf.org/geostreams/api/datapoints?sensor_id=22'	token url	Use token from authentication

task	step	details	description	python example
authenticate	create user	user = {'identifier': 'email', 'password': '******'}		r = requests.post(api_server + '/api/authenticate', data=json.dumps(user), headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
	create headers	headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
	request	https://greatlakestogulf.org/geostreams/api/authenticate	add user and headers to request
	get token	headers = {"x-auth-token": r.headers["x-auth-token"], "Content-Encoding": "application/json"}		headers = {"x-auth-token": r.headers["x-auth-token"], "Content-Encoding": "application/json"}
	add headers to api requests
