Step 2: Acquire Data from API
You can acquire the data from API by using curl command or python library (we provide the example in jupyter notebook in attached)
Using CURL
Get all Sensors in JSON format
Currently, pulling sensors does not require authentication.
| Inputs | Output type | Output Example |
|---|---|---|
| url | JSON |
Get all Sensors
curl -X GET --compressed https://greatlakestogulf.org/geostreams/api/sensors
Authenticate
| Inputs | Output | Details |
|---|---|---|
| X-Auth-Token | Use the token for fetching datapoints |
Authenticate
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"password": "****", "identifier": "email"}' --compressed -i https://greatlakestogulf.org/geostreams/api/authenticate
| task | curl | inputs | instructions | returns |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| authenticate | curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"password": "****", "identifier": "email"}' --compressed -i https://greatlakestogulf.org/geostreams/api/authenticate |
| In the response will be X-Auth-Token: followed by the alphanumeric security token | X-Auth-Token |
| get all datapoints for a single sensor | curl -X GET -H 'Content-Encoding: application/json' -H 'x-auth-token:token' --compressed 'https://greatlakestogulf.org/geostreams/api/datapoints?sensor_id=22&since=2018-06-01' |
| Use X-Auth-Token from authentication | json |
Using Python Library (pyGeotemporal)
