With this launch, we’ve made it really easy for you to push custom data to Databox. Now you, our awesome developer community, can find all the information you need, all in one place, toconnect any data source to Databox移动KPI仪表板和构建自己的美丽. That means you’ll be able to deliver addictive, attention-grabbing visualizations, alerts and notifications, and take advantage of all the power in the Databox platform with just a few lines of code.
First and foremost, there’s no special developer’s account needed. Just visitdevelopers.www.yu-nung.comand you’ll find everything you need to get started. With oursimple REST API and SDKs,just pick your favorite language (Java, PHP, Ruby, Node.js, GO, or Python) and you’ll be able to connect any data source in minutes. Really.
If you don’t have your Databox account yet, you cansign-up here. You don’t need a special developers account, so if you already have one, you’re ready to skip to the next step.
You’ll need an APItokento send us data. Every account comes with a pre-assigned (‘Default’) token which can be found in the Databox Designer web app under ‘数据管理器’ > ‘Active data connections’ as shown below:
Your token is also shown during account setup when you choose to push your own data instead of selecting a connector.
Ok, now you can send us data. Here are a few different ways to do that:
curl https://push.www.yu-nung.com -u YOUR_TOKEN_GOES_HERE: -X POST -H'Content-Type: application/json'-d '{"data":[{"$sales":123000}]}'
The example above will create a metric called ‘Sales’ under the ‘Default’ data source. This is a very basic example, you can also push additional information, such as atimestampsandattributes.
Now you need to create a visualization for the data you just sent us. We present data on so called ‘Datacards.’ They consist of individual visualizations (e.g. pie chart, table, line chart, etc.) called ‘Datablocks.’
So first create a new Datacard, open theDatablocks tabon the left side and drag a ‘Number’ Datablock to your Datacard.
Inproperties panel on the right, select the appropriate data source (‘Default’ in this case) and the metric you have just sent (‘Sales’).
Voila, that’s it! Now just download theDatabox Mobile app, log in with your credentials, and check out your very own beautiful new KPI dashboard!
If you get stuck at any point, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us — we’d be happy to help!
Thank you!
