API Reference

The DicksonOne REST API uses predictable resource-oriented URLs, accepts both JSON-encoded and form-encoded request bodies, returns JSON-encoded responses, and uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs.

Please Note

• If you’re maintaining an integration for the previous version (V2) of this API, you can find that documentation here. The V2 API will be deprecated at some point in the future, so we encourage you to move your integration to the new REST API.
• This code is provided “AS IS” without warranty of any kind expressed or implied. Dickson does not provide support for custom integrations.

Base URL

Code examples below assume that requests are being directed to endpoints for the application at a base URL. All listed request endpoints should be directed to the following domain:

https://www.dicksonone.com

Authentication

GET https://www.dicksonone.com/api/rest/users HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer YOUR-API-TOKEN

The DicksonOne API uses API keys to authenticate requests. Account Managers and Owners can manage the API keys available for their account via “Manage > API Keys”. Use of this API requires that your account have an active subscription with an appropriate level of features. If you’re interested in accessing the REST API and don’t currently have access to API Key management, please contact support@dicksonone.com to discuss upgrading your subscription.

In order to access the API, you’ll need to pass the token associated with an active API Key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header for each request.

All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail. API requests without authentication will also fail.

Pagination

Due to the large number of records that can be returned with each request, DicksonOne’s REST API uses pagination to pass back records in manageable chunks.

Request

GET https://www.dicksonone.com/api/rest/locations?page[number]=2&page[size]=3 HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer YOUR-API-TOKEN
Content-Type: application/json

For API endpoints that return a collection of results, you can control which page of results you’re fetching, as well as the number of results included on each page, using the following pagination parameters.

Parameters

Response

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8

{ 
  "data": [
    { "id": 4, "name": "Pharmaceutical Warehouse - West", "sublocation_ids": [5, 6] },
    { "id": 5, "name": "Vaccine Refrigerator A", "sublocation_ids": [] },
    { "id": 6, "name": "Vaccine Refrigerator B", "sublocation_ids": [] }
  ],
  "meta" : {
    "pagination": {
      "record_count": 7,
      "page_size": 3,
      "page_count": 3,
      "current_page": 2,
      "prev_page": 1,
      "next_page": 3
    }
  }
}

Each response for a paginated endpoint will include a set of metadata for the paginated results, in addition to the list of record data.

Fields

Errors

DicksonOne uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request.

Success Codes

• Codes in the 2xx range indicate a successful response.

Error Codes

• Codes in the 3xx range indicate that the request needs to be redirected.
• Codes in the 4xx range indicate that the content or structure of the request is invalid (e.g., a missing or blank parameter).
• Codes in the 5xx range indicate an error on DicksonOne’s servers.

Support

Dickson does not provide support for custom integrations. If you have general questions regarding access to or the functionality of the API, please email support@dicksonone.com. This code is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind expressed or implied.

Alerts

View the alerts that have been triggered by devices on your account. Each Alert record represents a historical event that was caused by a Device tripping the warning or excursion condition for a configured Alarm.

Listing all alerts

Retrieve a list of all historical alerts for your account. This list is paginated. For more information about interacting with paginated data, see Pagination.

Acknowledging an alert

Mark an alert as acknowledged. The acknowledger for the alert will be set to the User associated with the API token, and the acknowledged_at timestamp will be set to the time that the request was received by the server. Attempting to acknowledge an alert that has already been acknowledged will result in a 409 Conflict response.

Fields

Channels

View the channels reporting for the devices on your account. Each Channel record represents a single stream of data coming in from a sensor plugged in to one of your environmental loggers. One sensor can potentially report multiple Channels’ worth of data to DicksonOne.

Fetching channel data

Readings data for DicksonOne is served out of a separate Datapoint Service. When you fetch information for a channel, the response includes the URLs necessary to fetch the data for that channel.

All readings data is normalized to a single unit for storage purposes (e.g., all temperature readings are stored in Fahrenheit). When you view your data in exports, reports, or the DicksonOne interface, we perform a conversion from the stored unit to the display unit configured for your device. If you’re building a custom integration and want to see the readings values in a different unit, you’ll need to convert the raw readings data yourself.

Summary data

GET https://dps.dicksonone.com/datapoints/036390d0-f790-4cf6-b903-cc0ee63f49b7/1566364361/1566450761/summary HTTP/1.1

The summary_url for a channel gives a full summary of the data for the channel over its reporting lifetime.

Fields

Searching for an invalid event type

Attempting to filter the list of results with an unsupported search[type] (see above for the list of supported types) will result in a 400 error.

Request

GET /api/rest/events?search[type]=Other HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer YOUR-API-TOKEN
Content-Type: application/json

Endpoint

GET /api/rest/events

Parameters

Response

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8

{
  "errors": [
    "The requested type (Other) is not supported."
  ]
}

Fields

Locations

View the location hierarchy for your account. Locations are structured with one root location attached directly to your account, and potentially multiple sublocations for every location.

[
  {"id": 1, "name": "Account (Root)", "sublocation_ids": [2]},
  {"id": 2, "name": "Warehouse", "sublocation_ids": []}
]

The following list might represent a simple location hierarchy for an organization monitoring a single warehouse:

• Account (Root) [1]
  • Warehouse [2]

In order to reconstruct the full location hierarchy from the response, you can start with the root location element (the first element in the list), and follow the sublocation_ids for that location, nesting the locations with the specified IDs beneath the root. You can then repeat this process for each sublocation, stopping when you reach a location with no sublocation_ids. Let’s look at an example for a slightly more complicated organization.

[
  {"id": 1, "name": "Account (Root)", "sublocation_ids": [2]},
  {"id": 2, "name": "Region", "sublocation_ids": [3, 4]},
  {"id": 3, "name": "Office #1", "sublocation_ids": []},
  {"id": 4, "name": "Office #2", "sublocation_ids": []}
]

The following list might represent an organization with a deeper location hierarchy, due to a high density of sensors, or sensors used for multiple purposes or applications throughout the organization:

• Account (Root) [1]
  • Region [2]
    • Office #1 [3]
    • Office #2 [4]

As above, you can follow the sublocation_ids starting with the root location to reconstruct the proper hierarchy for your organization.
