Thing Speak

ThingSpeak is a web service that allows users to collect and store sensor data in the cloud and develop Internet of Things (IoT) applications. It works with various hardware platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and software platforms like MATLAB. ThingSpeak provides an application programming interface (API) that allows sensor data to be sent to the cloud from any hardware or software that can make HTTP requests. ThingSpeak is free for small, non-commercial projects.

• ThingSpeak is a Web Service (REST API) that lets you collect and
store sensor data in the cloud and develop Internet of Things
applications.
• It works with Arduino, Raspberry Pi and MATLAB (premade
libraries and APIs exists).
• But it should work with all kind of Programming Languages, since
it uses a REST API and HTTP.

ThingSpeak + Web Browser
• We can use a standard Web Browser in order to put data to
ThingSpeak or to get data from ThingSpeak

Write Data Example:


https://api.thingspeak.com/update?api_key=<WriteKey>&field3=2
Read Data Example:
https://api.thingspeak.com/channels/<ChannelId>/fields/3/last.jso
n?key=<ReadKey>

Set and Read Values using a Web Browser

Set Kp Remotely Example:


Enter the following in a Web Browser (or from a Programming Language like LabVIEW,
MATLAB, etc)
We set Kp=2
https://api.thingspeak.com/update?api_key=<WriteKey>&field3=2

Read Kp Remotely Example:


https://api.thingspeak.com/channels/<ChannelId>/fields/3/last.json?key=<ReadKey>

Response in Browser: {"created_at":"2017-06-26T07:41:54Z","entry_id":1270,"field3":"2"}
