Summary
In this chapter, we covered API endpoints, SDKs, and the types of SDK platforms available to us on the Arduino IoT Cloud. We also learned how to test APIs with Postman. Next, we explored the Node.js SDK by performing different types of operations, particularly CRUD operations, on devices, Things, properties, and dashboards. Finally, we saw how to get and set the value of a cloud variable.
This chapter was specially designed for backend developers seeking to use the Arduino IoT Cloud as a foundation and wanting to develop a custom frontend for their solution, which is possible when you know how to interact with the Arduino IoT Cloud programmatically using the Node.js SDK. Likewise, the ability to create custom services allows us to integrate with third party cloud services and applications.
The next chapter will be more interesting as we are going to dive into smart agriculture, implementation a project where you will learn how to measure the soil moisture, soil temperature...
