REST/HTTP

Introduction​

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the foundation of the World Wide Web, and is used to load webpages using hypertext links. HTTP is an application layer protocol designed to transfer information between networked devices and runs on top of other layers of the network protocol stack.

In VergeLink you can use the HTTP(S)/REST connector to transmit data to your cloud services.

Setting up your REST/HTTP Connector​

To create a REST/HTTP Cloud Connector, navigate to the "Cloud Connections" tab on your VergeLink device. Click on "+ Add Cloud Connector" to add a Cloud Connector. In the Cloud Connector type dropdown, select "REST/HTTP". Now you can configure the connection details:

  • URL: The URL has the following structure http://<endpoint>:<port>/<base-path> or https://<endpoint> for encrypted communication (Example: https://webhook.site)
  • Authentication: (Choose between Authentication and User/Password Authentication) - For username/password Basic Access Authentication is used
  • Protocol: The RESET body payload/URL path format, here you can choose between existing templates or create and configure your own.
  • Data routing: Select which data you want to transmit on this cloud connector

Click "Save" to create your REST Cloud Connector. The VergeLink device will now fetch the configuration and start sending data to your REST endpoints.
