Topic: server/environment/workspace for running API calls

i have a requirement to post vehicle location to external server using http get request.

I don"t have much background in SDK topic

what is the server space/ environment to be used for running API calls.does gurtam offer some work space/server space  for running API calls or do i need to purchase from third parties.if it is from third party, who are the preferred vendors.

how about playground. Can i run code permanently there(in the background i mean)

Re: server/environment/workspace for running API calls

siju, you have three options (ordered by simplicity):

  • use external tools with next schema: Wialon => free flespi gateway => flespi_receiver open source python application hosted on your server => your HTTP server
  • develop own hosted application that will operate via Wialon API and generate HTTP requests to your server when required

In second option flespi_receiver is able to POST via HTTP in normalized JSON all received messages by Wialon unit with errors handling and messages retransmission upon connections are N/A.

Have a look at Wialon app  Protocoller    its basically an app for retranslation. It allows you to select a set of units and post to any server of your choosing.

Re: server/environment/workspace for running API calls

I am also fairly new to the SDK space and found that the application Postman is a great place to start with organizing and writing HTTP requests that follow the API. It comes as a standalone application and a chrome plugin. Best regards!
