Open Source

The ThingSpeak API is available on GitHub and includes the complete ThingSpeak API for processing HTTP requests, storing numeric and alphanumeric data, numeric data processing, location tracking, and status updates.  The open source version follows the same documentation as the ThingSpeak hosted service.



HTTP Headers

If you would like to reduce the number of HTTP headers sent by our application, please add the parameter headers=false to any HTTP request.

API keys can optionally be sent via HTTP headers by setting the header name to THINGSPEAKAPIKEY and the header value to the API key.



Time Zones Reference

Time zones can be specified for any request by adding the timezone parameter with a value corresponding to any identifier found below. Identifier names are case-sensitive, and should be URL-encoded in HTTP GET requests, for example:

GET http://iot-sintron.com/channels/9/fields/1/last.json?timezone=America%2FNew_York

The most common time zone identifiers are listed below. ThingSpeak supports all IANA Time Zone Database identifers; a human-readable list is also available.
