Esders LTE Rest

With the help of this REST API it is possible to receive measurement data from Esders Connect. After your measurement has been uploaded to Esders Connect, this is possible via an Esders device with LTE or via the Esders Connect App, our server will send the measurement data to your REST.

Requirements

1. A contract with Esders GmbH to send the measurement data to your server.
2. A web server that is publicly accessible.

Configuration

PHP configuration

It's recommended to enable PHP mail functionality on your server. This will give you information in the event of an error, if the REST is not working properly.
