Install

node oncloud.js add simple-api

Usage

Assume, we have no security and the server runs on default port 8087.

For all queries the name or id of the state can be specified.

For every requiest that returns JSON you can set parameter prettyPrint to get the output in human readable form.

If authentication is enabled, two other fields are mandatory: ?user=admin&pass=oncloud

getPlainValue

Read state value as text. You can specify more ids divided by semicolon

get

Read state and object data of state as json. You can specify more ids divided by semicolon. If more than one ID requested, the JSON array will be returned.

getBulk

Read the states of more IDs with timestamp. You can specify more ids divided by semicolon. Always the JSON array will be returned.

set

Write the states with specified IDs. You can specifiy wait option in milliseconds to wait for answer from driver.

If no answer will be recieved in specified time, the null value will be returned. In the first case the answer will be returned immediately and ack is false. In the second case ack is true. That means it was response from driver.

setBulk

• write bulk of IDs in one request.

You can send this request as POST too.

objects

Get the list of all objects for pattern. If no pattern specified all objects as JSON array will be returned.
