About this Cloud Hub Solution:

API for the Water Linked Underwater GPS.

For more details:

Recommended approach for connecting to a Underwater GPS via the API is:

  • If "GET /api/" times out, the Underwater GPS is not running (on this IP address)
  • If "GET /api/" responds with 200 OK, check that the api version returned (e.g. "v1") is supported by the client (e.g. also supports "v1")
  • If the api version returned does not match what the client supports: give an error to the user and recommend upgrading (e.g. response is "v2" while client only supports "v1")
  • If "GET /api/" responds with 301 Moved permanently, "GET /api/v1/version" to check if the kit has a version earlier than 1.5"
  • GET /api/v1/version" will always respond with 200 OK on Underwater GPS earlier than 1.5 release

Configuration API is not considered stable and will potentially be changed.
