Demystifying the Arduino IoT Cloud SDK – functionality and operation

The Arduino IoT Cloud offers a range of features, but there are inevitably situations where developers need to integrate their tools/systems/apps with the Arduino IoT Cloud for improved operations management and control. To cater to these requirements, the Arduino IoT Cloud provides different techniques and tools that can be used by developers and organizations to extend the product’s functionality and provide solutions for real-world issues.

As shown in the following diagram, the Arduino IoT Cloud provides three main interfaces to developers to help meet their requirements. First is webhooks, which we used in the previous chapter to send the data from an Arduino IoT Cloud Thing to a custom endpoint or any well-known platform including Zapier or IFTTT for further integration. Following webhooks, we have the REST API and SDK, both of which are very handy features for developers to mold the system according...
