API

This tutorial is aimed at software integrators who use the API interface of IPS Tools software as background business functions. Through the API interface, you can obtain the UID, coordinates, power, working status of Anchor and Tag devices, as well as the real-time positioning of the Tag. The data format is JSON, and the interface protocols include MQTT, UDP, webhook, HTTP, etc. The software supports deployment on Ubuntu, Windows, MacOs and other platforms.

1. Data Format: JSON

Targeting Data Example

{
"data": {
"mapId": 2, // Location floor ID
"pos": [
-3.2616942,
4.3123593,
1.1999172
], // Positioning: x,y,z
"noiseRadius": 0.085815825, // Positioning noise, the larger the value, the lower the confidence
"posVar": [
0.71,
0.62,
0.03
],// Positioning noise in the x, y, and z directions. The larger the value, the lower the confidence.
"time": 1731034496, // Locate the unix timestamp
"vel": [
-0.08,
0.1,
0
], //Speed: x,y,z
"velVar": [
0.13,
0.13,
0.01
], //Velocity noise in the x, y, and z directions. The larger the value, the lower the confidence
"properties": {
"tansmit": "xxxxxxxxxxxx" // Transparent data, base64 encoding
},
"rxAnchorSn": "1e00400007503148", // The strongest received signal corresponds to the base station UID
"rxRssi": -47.235565185546875 // Strongest reception signal
},
"deviceName": "T4", // Device name, unique within the software
"name": "Pos", // Message Type
"uid": "ea221ffdb4fbea42", //Device UID

}

2. Tag Location Data API Configuration Entry

Open the IPS Tool software and follow the steps below to enter the configuration page.

API configuration entry example

3. MQTT Obtains Tag Location Data

address: {IP or Domain name}:{Interface}

clientId: Client ID, can be empty

topic: Topic name

MQTT configuration example

4. UDP Obtains Tag Positioning Data

address: {IP or Domain name}:{Interface}

UDP configuration example

5. Webhook Obtains Tag Location Data

URL format: http://{IP or Domain name}:{Interface}/{Custom uri}

http method: POST

Web hook configuration example

6. HTTP to Get Device Status

URL: GET http://localhost:8088/openapi/v1/devices?deviceType=&online=&query=&page=&pageSize=

Query parameters:

Parameter NameParameter TypeParameter Description
deviceTypeintSearch by device type. Empty means querying all types of devices. 4 means querying Anchor devices. 5 means querying Tag devices.
onlineboolAccording to whether to search online, empty means to query all states, false means to query offline devices, true means to query online devices
querystringSearch by device name prefix or device UID suffix
pageintThe default pagination number is 1, which means the first page, and so on
pageSizeintThe default page size is 20, and the maximum is 100
