Install-package Beebotte.API.Server.Net

Repository Cloning:

git clone https://github.com/beebotte/bbt_dotnet.git

Usage

To use the library, you need to be a registered user. If this is not the case, create your account at http://beebotte.com and note your access credentials.

As a reminder, Beebotte resource description uses a two levels hierarchy:

• Channel: physical or virtual connected object (an application, an arduino, a coffee machine, etc) providing some resources
• Resource: most elementary part of Beebotte, this is the actual data source (e.g. temperature from a domotics sensor)

Beebotte Constructor

Use your account API and secret keys to initialize Beebotte connector:

string accesskey  = "YOUR_API_KEY";
string secretkey  = "YOUR_SECRET_KEY";
string hostname   = "api.beebotte.com";
Connector bbt = new Connector( accesskey, secretkey, hostname);

Reading Data

You can read data from one of your channel resources using:

var records = bbt.Read("channel1", "resource1", 5); // read last 5 records

You can read data from a public channel by specifying the channel owner:

var records  = bbt.PublicRead("owner", "channel1", "resource1", 5); //read last 5 

Writing Data

You can write data to a resource of one of your channels using:

bbt.Write("channel1", "resource1", "Hello World");

If you have multiple records to write (to one or multiple resources of the same channel), you can use the WriteBulk method:

var resources = new List<ResourceData>
    {
        new ResourceData("resource1", "Hello"),
        new ResourceData("resource2", "World")
    };
bbt.WriteBulk("channel1", resources);

Publishing Data

You can publish data to a channel resource using:

bbt.Publish("any_channel", "any_resource", "Hello World")

Published data is transient. It will not be saved to any database; rather, it will be delivered to active subscribers in real time. The Publish operations do not require that the channel and resource be actually created. They will be considered as virtual: the channel and resource exist as long as you are publishing data to them. By default, published data is public, to publish a private message, you need to add private- prefix to the channel name like this:

bbt.Publish("private-any_channel", "any_resource", "Hello World")

If you have multiple records to publish (to one or multiple resources of the same channel), you can use the PublishBulk method:

var resources = new List<ResourceData>
    {
        new ResourceData("resource1", "Hello"),
        new ResourceData("resource2", "World")
    };
bbt.PublishBulk("channel1", resources);

Resource Management

The library provides a set of methods to manipulate resource objects as follows:

Create the resource object

var resource = new Resource("channel1", "resource1", "string");
bbt.CreateResource(resource);    

Get all resource objects for a given channel

var resources = bbt.GetAllResources("channel1");

#### Get a specific resource object

var resource = bbt.GetResource("channel1", "resource1");

Delete a resource object

bbt.DeleteResource("channel1", "resource1");

Channel Management

The library provides a set of methods to manipulate channel objects as follows:

Create the channel object

Channel channel = new Channel();
channel.Name = "channel1";
channel.Label = "label1";
channel.Description = "description1";
channel.IsPublic = false;
var resources = new List<Resource>
{
    new Resource("resource1","resource1", "resource 1", "string"),
    new Resource("resource2","resource2", "resource 2", "string")
};
channel.Resources = resources;
bbt.CreateChannel(channel);

Get all channel objects

var channels = bbt.GetAllChannels();

Get a specific channel object

var channel = bbt.GetChannel("channel1");

After getting a channel, you can access the channel token as follows:

var token = channel.Token;

Delete a specific channel object

bbt.DeleteChannel("channel1");

Connection Management

The library provides a set of methods to manipulate connections as follows:

Get all connections

var connections = bbt.GetAllConnections<Beebotte.API.Server.Net.UserInfo>();

Get connections for a given user

var connections = bbt.GetUserConnections<Beebotte.API.Server.Net.UserInfo>("userId", "sessionId");

Delete User connections

bbt.DeleteConnection<Beebotte.API.Server.Net.UserInfo>("userId", "sessionId");

IAM Token Management

The library provides a set of methods to manage IAM tokens as follows:

Create IAM token that allows to read data from a specific channel

   Connector bbt = new Connector(accesskey, secretkey, hostname);
   IAMToken readChannelDataToken = new IAMToken();
   var resources = new List<string>();
   resources.Add("Car.*");
   readChannelDataToken.Name = "Read_Car";
   readChannelDataToken.Description = "Read car channel data";
   var aclList = new List<ACL>();
   aclList.Add(new DataACL() { Action = DataACLTypes.DataRead.GetDescription(), Resources = resources });            
   readChannelDataToken.ACLList = aclList;
   var createdToken = bbt.CreateIAMToken(readChannelDataToken); 

Create IAM token that allows to read and write channels

Connector bbt = new Connector(accesskey, secretkey, hostname);
IAMToken writeChannelToken = new IAMToken();
writeChannelToken.Name = "Write_Read_Channel";
writeChannelToken.Description = "Write and Read Channel";
var aclList = new List<ACL>();
aclList.Add(new AdminACL() { Action = AdminACLTypes.ChannelWrite.GetDescription() });
aclList.Add(new AdminACL() { Action = AdminACLTypes.ChannelRead.GetDescription() });
writeChannelToken.ACLList = aclList;
var createdToken = bbt.CreateIAMToken(writeChannelToken);

Update an existing IAM token with a new set of ACL rules

var resources = new List<string>();
resources.Add("Car.*");
var aclList = new List<ACL>();
aclList.Add(new DataACL() { Action = DataACLTypes.DataWrite.GetDescription(), Resources = resources });
var token = bbt.UpdateIAMToken("token_id", aclList);

Get all IAM tokens

var tokens = bbt.GetAllIAMTokens();

Delete an IAM token

bbt.DeleteIAMToken("token_id");

Get IAM token given its ID

var token = bbt.GetIAMToken("token_id");

BeeRule management

The library provides a set of methods to manage BeeRules as follows:

Create BeeRule

Assuming that we have a private channel called ArduinoUno with a resource called co, the below code creates a BeeRule that writes data to the co resource whenever the data published to this resource is less than 20

BeeRule rule = new BeeRule()
{
    Name = "PersistCOData",
    Description = "persist CO data if value < 20",
    Trigger = new Trigger() { Channel = "private-ArduinoUno", Resource = "co", Event = TriggerTypes.publish.ToString() },
    Condition = "trigger.data < 20",
    Action = new WriteAction()  { Channel= "ArduinoUno", Resource="co"}     
 };
 var createdRule = bbt.CreateBeeRule(rule);

Delete a BeeRule

bbt.DeleteBeeRule("BeeRule_Id");

Get a specific BeeRule

  var rule = bbt.GetBeeRule("BeeRule_Id");

Invoke a BeeRule

BeeRuleInvocation invocation = new BeeRuleInvocation();
invocation.Channel = "private-ArduinoUno";
invocation.Resource = "co";
invocation.Data = 5;
bbt.InvokeBeeRule("BeeRule_Id", invocation);
