Connector for SmartWorks IoT Write

The SmartWorks IoT Write connector allows calling PUT/POST/DELETE requests to SmartWorks IoT services for write back scenarios. A typical use case is to add or update records in AnythingDB from Panopticon. Since this connector is not for reading data, a successful service call will only return a data table with one column called Result with Success as value.

 

NOTE	The Token URL is not visible in the connector. You can set the server-wide token URL in the “connector.oauth.tokenurl” property in the Panopticon.properties file.

Steps:

1.     Enter the Client ID, Client Secret, Grant Type, and Scope to connect to the SmartWorks IoT Write.

The Panopticon server builds up the request body formatted as application/x-www-form-urlencoded from these four fields.

2.     Enter the URL that accepts PUT/POST/DELETE request.

For example:

https://api.swx.altairone.com/spaces/altair/collections/ElectronicBoards/things/01edb9j75vymj8p7qppm19h8nx

3.     Specify the appropriate HTTP Method for the request from the following options:

 

·         POST – Add new data.

·         PUT – Replace existing data.

·         DELETE – Remove existing data.

4.     Enter the Request Body for the HTTP POST/PUT.

 

NOTE	Use PUT requests carefully to avoid duplicate entries since each data call to this connector will trigger a service call.
