Technical requirements

There are no specific hardware requirements for this chapter as we are focusing on the SDK and will work through different coding exercises to perform different operations on the Arduino IoT Cloud platform using the Node.js SDK. To follow along with the coding and testing exercises, the following software is required:

• Node.js
• The Node.js Arduino IoT Cloud module installed
• The VSCode editor
• Postman
• An Arduino IoT Cloud account

Postman will be used for cURL testing and authentication, which will help other developers when doing request and response testing. For SDK coding, we will use Node.js and the VSCode editor. The code for this chapter is available from the book’s official GitHub repository at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Arduino-IoT-Cloud-for-Developers.
