Thingsboard is a platform for managing data flow in IoT environments. However, it can also be used for general data stream that is acquired via JSON/REST-REQUEST.
The ideia of this repo is to make available some simple commands in python, Rest API based, for those who are struggling to use tb-rest-client(link). With this simple functions, you're gonna be able to understand easily the JSON format and how the rest api flow works behind the scenes.
The ideia of the example_api.py is being able to create a list of devices automatically via command line from a devices_names.csv file.
A great reference to see what can be done simply via Rest API can be checked in Thingsboard's Swagger.
