Datacake Overview

Datacake is a multi-purpose, low-code IoT platform that requires no programming skills and minimal time to create custom IoT applications that can be brought into a white label IoT solution at the push of a button.

Datacake Specific Attributes​

For each Output Stream type, there is a set of specified attributes. Here are the ones for Datacake:

AttributeTypeRequiredDescription
uristring✅URI where events are sent via POST request

Overview​

To use this integration, you need to:

  • Have a Datacake account
  • Create an integration between Datacake and Golioth

Setup the Datacake Output Stream​

1. Create a Datacake account​

Create your account if you don't have one yet.

2. Create an integration between Datacake and Golioth​

Follow this tutorial to create a complete integration between Golioth and Datacake through a Datacake output stream.

In this tutorial you will see how to:

  • Create devices on Datacake
  • Create the datacake integration in Golioth
  • Test the integration
  • See the integration logs on Datacake, and more.

Example Data​

Golioth Output Streams use the Cloud Events format. For Datacake, this means some metadata of the event are sent as HTTP headers.

Here is an example of an event arriving on Datcake. Headers prefixed with Ce- are related to Cloud Events and the message body is the event payload (see event payloads on Output Streams Event Types).
