Accessing the data through the API with a (daemon/server) program it is recommended to gather the data daily. If possible somewhen between 00:00 UTC and 06:00 UTC.
It is forbidden to gather data in an interval faster than 60min. This would hurt the throughput of others and is considered malicious and against the terms of service (Section IV.20).
It is recommended to periodically gather data and store it into an own DB by:
Decide for a timespan to gather date: eg. every 12h
Every remote sending unit (GSM, ARC, ADT..) has its own deviceId. It is recommended to hard code this deviceIds and link it to the application relevant entity (eg. location, position, sending place, lake, measuring point..)
Create a list of measurementsDefinitionIds representing the physical measurement channel (eg. channels_of_interest=[2,5,7,8,11]) and link it to the application relevant entities (eg. Water Temperature, Pressure 1, Air Pressure, Water-Conductivity..). It is recommended to hard code this, too.
Run the program every ~12h and
deviceId) of interest…measurementsDefinitionId of interest..GET /v1/Measurements endpoint and get the data from the last ~24hBe aware that it is not possible to get calculated measuring data (eg. water level) from the API. See https://docs.pressuresuite.com/cloud-interfaces/overview/howto/#how-do-i-get-calculated-data-from-the-api
The API’s Swagger specification can be found here: https://api.pressuresuite.com/swagger/index.html?url=/swagger/v1/swagger.json
Open-sourced example implementations (C# and Python) can be seen here: https://github.com/KELLERAGfuerDruckmesstechnik/PressureSuite-Cloud-API-daemon-example-with-access-token
Endpoints of interest are:
| Endpoint | Use to |
|---|---|
GET /v1/Devices |
Gets information of all devices |
GET /v1/Devices/{deviceId} |
Gets information of a specific device |
GET /v1/Measurements |
Gets a list of measurements composed of a value and a UTC datetime |
Returns json data about a all accessible devices

Default: 0
Use: Skips the given number of devices. The opposite of Take.
take (OPTIONAL)
Type: integer($int32)
Default: 50
Use: Takes only the first .. devices. The opposite of Skip. When not specified the API replies with the first 50 devices.
searchText (OPTIONAL)
Type: string
Default: null
Use: Text term to filter all devices. Only the devices with searchText in the name or network
sortField (OPTIONAL)
Type: string
Default: null
Use: Default it is sort by the device’s "Name". It is also possible to sort for "NetworkNode", "TransferType", "GsmNumber", "EuiNumber", "SerialNumber"
sortAscending (OPTIONAL)
Type: boolean
Default: True
Use: If False then the list of the devices is ordered in descending order.

Data Params
measurementDefinitionId (REQUIRED)
