Swagger Open API


View API Reference

Use the API in Postman

You can use AllThingsTalk API Postman collection to create IoT device or application which uses our platform services.

Download and install Postman

Postman is a tool for API testing and development which offers an easy way to create and run API requests.

Run in Postman

You should see AllThingsTalk API collection in Postman now.

API Endpoint

Depending on the space you are working on, you should set variable as:

  • https://api.allthingstalk.io for AllThingsTalk Maker
  • https://also.allthingstalk.io for ALSO IoT Platform
  • https://<privateSpaceSubDomain>.allthingstalk.io for a private space

Authenticate and authorize

In order to authenticate and authorize against our API, we suggest you use Ground token.
Alternatively, you can use User token.

More on tokens in Authentication.

Variables and environments

We suggest that you use Postman environments, and create all the variables which are being referenced in the requests, like:

  • username
  • password
  • groundId
  • deviceId
    etc.

Otherwise, you can just directly change the placeholders with your values.

We work hard on improving our API, so do let us know if you discover anything fishy, or come up with a new API which will help you achieve your idea.
