API to publish data?

Post by apaullin »

Hi, if I understand correctly, IFTTT seems the only way (other than https://io.adafruit.com) to publish data from Adafruit IO to the outside world?
Would it be possible to please add an API for this purpose?
I've never been a huge fan of IFTTT, it's always been very buggy, and now they drastically scaled back the free version (which I have yet to have a need to actually use beyond testing for fun).
For example, the Webhooks API doc page here:
https://io.adafruit.com/api/docs/#webhooks
says:
"Adafruit IO only supports receiving data at this time."
I love Adafruit IO, though unless I can easily get the Feed data into Google Cloud (or Sheets), my next step is to explore the possibility of ESP8266 (Feather HUZZAH) libraries to write directly to Google Cloud (or Sheets).
Thanks!
Hope to hear from you soon.

As of now, the best approach would be IFTTT or writing an adapter on your end. We offer triggers with webhooks, but at this time, I don't think they'd connect with any Google products (mostly due to a more complicated auth and limited API request counts).
