Dev Setup

This project requires node and npm. If you don't already have it installed then please visit: https://nodejs.org/en/ and download your recommended setup.

If you don't already have nodemon or gulp installed then 'npm -g install nodemon' and/or 'npm -g install gulp' is required.

Step 1: In your terminal of choice using the CLI -> git clone https://github.com/Brilliant-Labs/bl-cloud-v2.git

Step 2: cd into your bl-cloud-v2 directory

Step 3: npm i (this is a shortcut for npm install)

Step 4: gulp

Step 5: In a new terminal: nodemon index.js

Step 6: In your browser: http://localhost:3000/

Brilliant Labs Cloud API

HTTP Communication

Overview

Communicating to the Brilliant Labs Cloud can be done through a GET https request, whereas the content of the body is a json string with a given command. The primary use case for communicating through https is for devices that do not have the capabilities of communicating through a websocket connection. The server only accepts connections over SSL.

**The URL for https requests: **: https://cloud.brilliantlabs.ca/api

Headers

The required headers:

Header Value
Content-Type application/json

Examples

Command Line cURL

curl -d '{"cmd":"CREATE_VARIABLE", "key":"gsqfr6DsDWfGhn4og5RHNQTA3hFE","value":5, "name":"TestVariable"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET  https://cloud.brilliantlabs.ca/api

response

{"meta":{"revision":0,"created":1563162485390,"version":0},"results":{"TestVariable":5}}

If you don't have cURL installed, you can check how to do so here

You can also use an API development tool like Postman or Insomnia

WS Communication

Overview

Communicating to the Brilliant Labs Cloud can be done through a Websocket Connection, whereas the message content is a json string with a given command. The primary use case for communicating through a websocket on a device is to have improved communication speeds for real time applications. The server only accepts websocket connections over wss.

Please note that the API described in this document also works with the websocket server. Use the same commands and format described later in the document as you would with the https requests body.

**The URL for websocket connections is: **: wss://cloud.brilliantlabs.ca/wsapi

Examples

If you visit https://www.websocket.org/echo.html, you can test out the websocket API.

The image bellow demonstrates an example using WebSocket.org to communicate with the server.

MQTT Communication

Overview

Communicating to the Brilliant Labs Cloud can be done through a MQTT Connection. Messages are published to a target topic whereas the message content is a json string with a given command, and the topic is the project API key. Server responses can be received by subscribing to the topic of your projects API key with the appending of '-rsp'. Publish to -> XXXXXX_API_KEY_XXXXXX, Subscribe to -> XXXXXX_API_KEY_XXXXXX-rsp.

Currently the MQTT broker only accepts tcp connections on port 1883.

Examples

You can test the MQTT communication using a chrome application called MQTTLens.

Here is an example using MQTT Lens to set the value of a variable over MQTT:

First we create the connection:

Second, we subscribe to the API key + '-rsp', and publish the command to the API key.

We can see that we received the confirmation that the command was successful.

Variables

Overview

Variables are meant to be used to store simple values and flags to a given API key, like one would do while coding let myVariable = 23. Variables are not intended to be used for large data sets, however variables can hold objects and all data types. Variables must all have unique names. Variables can be created, deleted, set and read from a device using the API key. Please read carefully throughout this section to catch all the details needed while implementing this API in your application or embedded system.

Command Parameters Type Description
CREATE_VARIABLE name String Name of the variable to create.
value Any Value to initialize the variable to.
DELETE_VARIABLE name String Name of the variable to erase.
SET_VARIABLE name String Name of the variable to save.
value Any Value to set the variable to.
GET_VARIABLE name String Name of the variable to read.
GET_ALL_VARIABLES

Charts

Overview

Charts are intended to be used to hold big data sets with the goal of being able to visualize the data as a chart on the Brilliant Labs Cloud web client. Chart commands can also be used to simply hold big data sets, without necessarily wanting to visualise the data on a chart. Charts can be created, delete, set and read. Please read carefully throughout this section to catch all the details needed while implementing this API in your application or embedded system.

Five different chart types can be create:

  1. Line
  2. Bar
  3. Pie
  4. Scatter
  5. Histogram
