The IoT Starterkit provides code snippets that show the basic interactions of an IoT device with the HCP IoT Services. These primitives are either sending or retrieving data which are shown in 2 individual snippets for usage with an HTTP transport and a combined one for usage via a bi-directional WebSocket transport. All examples use encrypted communication (https, wss) which is a prerequisite for the interaction with HCP. The snippets are provided in Python which is also the basis for the Raspberry Pi and Device Simulation integrated examples. Nevertheless, the respective service calls can of course also be implemented in other programming languages.
- retrieve.py: Using a GET request to poll for messages pushed towards the device
This code snippet have already been integrated in examples that can directly be used.
