Ok, I found the commands for "*" and "+":

http://192.168.0.202/emoncms/input/process/add.json?inputid=17&processid...

So have someone a complete list of the arg's?

Because processid 1 is for feed and it does not work to generate a new one.

I can link a existing feed, but need to create new one.

Thank you!

Have you tried adding your Read&Write API key?

Hello!

Well, I can add now process and feeds, but I dont know the arg.

To generate a new process and Feed I have to add The correct arguments.

Is there a list or more examles?

THank you!

The API documentation is available from the API page in emoncms ( Input API help - top right)  http://emoncms.org/input/api

Hello!

Yes, this link I know.

But for:

Add an input process

There are a lot off different processes.

http://emoncms.org/site/docs/inputprocessing is specific to the input processes, this and other helpful pages are all available from the main emoncms.org page http://emoncms.org/site/home

Hello!

Ok, thank you. This helps, but it working not for me.

I found that the "arg" has to be the ID and not the name!

This is working:

http://192.168.0.202/emoncms/input/process/add.json?inputid=19&processid=1&arg=15

But I have also to add a new feed:

http://192.168.0.202/emoncms/feed/create.json?name=api_demo&type=1

With this a new feed is created, but need:

datatype: REALTIME

Engine: PHPFIWA

What means type in the url? Trying PHPFIWA and some Integer values. But always create:

Datatype:empty

Engine: MYSQL

Thank you!

I also tryied:

http://192.168.0.202/emoncms/feed/set.json?id=18&fields={'engine':'0'}

or:

http://192.168.0.202/emoncms/feed/create.json?name=api_demo_1&type=0&fields={%27engine%27:%270%27}

But is not working.

Has someone a complete sample to create feeds and process via API?

Thank you!

Edit:

Ok, I found it. I search the files at the local webserver.

http://192.168.0.202/emoncms/feed/create.json?name=api_demo_9&datatype=1...

I get:

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /var/www/emoncms/Modules/feed/feed_model.php on line 104
{"success":true,"feedid":30,"result":true}

Seems it working, but does someone know, what the notice mean?

Thank you!

If you open emoncms.org on an input page and open your browsers developer tools to the networks page. You can then see the urls that are produced whilst creating a feed on the webpage, from this you can emulate the urls you need.

I just tried it and got this url, 

http://emoncms.org/feed/create.json?name=api_demo_1&datatype=1&engine=5&options={"interval":"10"}

changed the "name" and pasted it into browser address bar and set up an identical feed, the browser returned

{"success":true,"feedid":40180,"result":true}

using this method you should be able to compile a list of editable/eusable urls.

The message is a result of not specifying a time interval, if you add

&options={"interval":"10"}

to your url it will work without the message. (10 is default for 10 secs - change as required)
