Download Data via API

The GIoT platform provides secure API-based data export to comply with the EU Data Act. This method allows you to retrieve all your device data programmatically in a structured format, enabling seamless integration with third-party systems or migration to other platforms. Follow the upcoming steps to generate your API token and access your data safely.

Steps to Export Data via API

1. Access the API Documentation: From the Cockpit menu, navigate to Administration and click on API. A new browser tab will open directly on Swagger, showing the GIoT Public API Documentation.

2. Locate the Relevant API Endpoint: Browse through the organized API sections to find the endpoints for data export. Examples include:

   • Devices → Export device lists and configurations.

   • Rules → Retrieve configured rules and thresholds.

   • Alarms → Download full alarm history.

   • Measurements → Export collected measurement data.

3. Select the API Method: Click on the desired endpoint and choose the GET or POST method depending on the data you want to export.

4. Insert Required Parameters: If the endpoint requires parameters (e.g., Tenant ID, Device ID, or date ranges), insert the necessary values in the dedicated fields.

5. Execute the Request: Click on “Try it out” to execute the API request directly in Swagger. The data will be displayed in the Response Body below.

6. Download or Save Data: Copy the returned data or download it in JSON format. You can convert this into CSV or other formats if needed.

API endpoints are grouped by function and include detailed descriptions to guide you. This allows you to export all relevant information — devices, alarms, measurements, and more — directly from the platform, as required by the EU Data Act.
