DaaS (Decoder as a Service)
Run public code snippets from your Plugin or UbiFunction
The LoRaWAN ecosystem continues to grow, and so does the length of the decoders needed to transform a binary or base64 payloads, into friendly JSON ones.
Copy-pasting such decoders can get confusing for two reasones:
- Some of them have hundreds of lines of code - and continue to grow as more sensors and features are added to the devices.
- Most -if not all- LoRaWAN vendors offer their decoders in NodeJS, making them uncompatible if you're developing your functions in Python.
Because of this, we created a public DaaS (Decoder as a Service) endpoint:
Ubidots Decoding as a Service endpoint
To make use of it, make a POST request to the following:
HTTP Method | URL |
|---|---|
POST | https://functions.ubidots.com/pub/decode/custom |
Header | Value |
|---|---|
Content-Type | application/json |
x-auth-token | <your-ubidots-token> |
Parameter | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
url | The public URL containing the code you wish to execute. Expects a raw text. When using Github, please set the URL to raw text mode. | "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Seeed-Solution/TTN-Payload-Decoder/master/decoder_new-v3.js" |
payload | JSON payload, containing the arguments expected by the public URL | { "fPort": 1, "bytes":"SGVsbG8sIHdvcmxkIQ="} |
function | The internal function inside the public URL code, that you wish to target with the given payload | "decodeUplink" |
| | |
