User API
Ruuvi Network (Serverless) user facing API. Lifecycle: in production
User API uses a JSON based API to allow users to register, secure and edit their information as well as claim and share sensors, retrieve sensor data and alter their subscription details. Fields marked with * are mandatory, and omitting them results in backend returning HTTP 400 - Bad Request.
For example, if the body parameter in the sections below refers to an email field, the corresponding JSON payload would look like this:
All authenticated queries are ratelimited to 8 * MAX_SENSORS_OWNED + 0.1 * MAX_HISTORY_DAYS per minute. For example user with Basic plan has maximum of 90 days of history on 25 sensors and can make up to 209 queries per minute. The throtteled response has response code of 429 and payload of:
