APIs¶

Gisaf's web interface uses server's APIs, that can also be used for third party software integration, eg. for retrieving data from the database with HTTP requests.

The APIs use 2 technologies: json REST stores and Graphql.

This page is a work-in-progress documentation effort - refer to source code for a comprehensive and up to date API list and usage:

Json stores¶

Getting record values from devices¶

For the custom models that define time-based values, eg. fetched from "IoT" enabled devices such as weather stations or other sensors, the generic HTTP request scheme is:

/api/avsm_misc.weather_station/values/temperature?where=%7B%22avsm_misc.weather_station%22:4%7D&sort=%7B%22time%22:false%7D&resample=H
