The Echolo REST API is the main interface to the entire platform, it allows for full management and insight of your end devices and communication hubs. The following is a "Quick Start Guide" to help you get up and running so let's get started!

First: Be sure to have a look at the API Docs @ developer.echolo.io

Special note before moving on

All requests to the Echolo REST API require the use of a special API key named x-api-key. This key is inserted to the request as a header and should be present for all authenticated and non-authenticated requests.

{
  "message": "Forbidden"
}
JSON

The error means that you did not include the x-api-key as a header in your request OR that the key is no longer valid.

API Versions

Before moving forward, please check the current API version here.

Authentication

Before moving on, please review the Authentication Guide. Make sure to review the token expiration and request example.

Request Data

The example below we are going to make a request for all `Hubs` registered to the application through appId. We will use the hub path /hub with our newly created token to get all hubs.

var request = require("request");

var options = { method: 'GET',
  url: 'https://api.echolo.io/v2/hub',
  headers: 
   { 'x-api-key': 'x-api-key',
     token: 'token',
     'app-id': 'app-id' } };

request(options, function (error, response, body) {
  if (error) throw new Error(error);

  console.log(body);
});
JS

Response

If your application has registered hubs an Array of all hubs will be returned. In the case of your application not having any registered hubs, an empty Array will be returned.
