API Overview#

The IoT in a Box API is a RESTful API. REST is a lightweight, stateless web service standard that myDevices IoT provides to our partners so that they may access and consume their data. Our REST API is secured with OAuth2 standard, which offers increased security by using JWT access tokens. In addition to Authorization and Authentication mechanism, we encrypt all transport communications with TLS/SSL endpoints. API Host: https://api.iotinabox.com
