In this chapter, you’ll learn how to send data to an IoT server using a RESTful API. A RESTful API is an application program interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE data. The ThingSpeak IoT platform enables clients to update and receive updates from channel feeds through the ThingSpeak RESTful API.

The network you’ll build consists of a LoRa end node, LoRa gateway, and the ThingSpeak IoT. The LoRa end node will periodically send temperature and humidity data to the LoRa gateway. Once the ...
