I wanted to set the position(Lat-Lng) properties of a Thing, by fetching data from an external Rest APT/Websockets.
I want this process to be continues.Where and how can we achieve this?( Through Events or Services or Subscriptions)
You could use Services->Snippets->Resources->ContentLoaderFunctions( e.g GetJSON) to make the REST call. This service could then be called from a Subscription which in turn would be triggered by a Timer Event(emitted by a thing implementing Timer Thing Template), to have this call made periodically.
Hi rjanardan,
I wrote a service for REST API fetch at the location specified by you.
I am new in thingworx programming,
1) How do i call this service to check my code.
2) How do i call this service from the subscription.
3) Is there any example or tutorial link that i can go through, to successfully follow the steps you have provided.
Thanks and regards,
