Basic Microcontroller API Consumption
This repository is part of a series on how to consume an API with a microcontroller. The other repository in the series is the API backend and web frontend: Basic-IoT-API.
“Consume API” means to engage with the API, this is done by sending requests to the API and receiving responses.
The API will respond to requests with data, which is often in the form of JSON. It will also respond to requests with a status code, which indicates whether the request was successful or not.
