yes, this endpoint is to send data as HTTP and is available. You need to get the base64 string of your username and password. Go to http://www.utilities-online.info/base64/#.XIkQx88zZR0 and enter your MQTT username:password and encode it.

Hi,

I tried to use Postman app to test the api endpoint. I followed the instructions from link eamirg posted:

  • I made HTTP POST request to https://api.mydevices.com/things/CLIENT_ID/data
  • under Authorization tab I entered MQTT username and password from - Cayenne
  • under Headers tab, I entered Content-Type with value ‘application/json’, and also there is auto-generated Authorization header whose value is ‘Basic ’
  • in the Body tab, I selected type Raw (JSON) and entered:

[
{
“channel”: 1,
“value”: 16.4,
“type”: “temp”,
“unit”: “c”
}
]

I think I followed the directions correctly, but when I send the request, I get only “400 Bad Request” which isn’t really helping. Could you please help?
