My api recives every 45 minutes a request:
GET http://MyHost/mediciones/sigfox_libelium/{device}/{data}/{time}/{customData#trama}
I want my code to save {device}, {data}, {time} and {customData#trama} into different variables so I can parse it into readable values(all data it is send hexadecimal) and insert them into my database. How do I take those values out of the URL?
Also, what is the purpose of req, res? I guess It stands for request, respond.Respond sends back to the client but, request? I dont really understand how it works. Im learning all this new, hope someone can help.
This is my API code, I tried it with postman and it works fine so far:
const express = require("express");
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
const cors = require("cors");
const Pool = require("pg").Pool;
const pool = new Pool({
user: "mgr@stanpgtest",
host: "stanpgtest.postgres.database.azure.com",
database: "my db name",
password: "my pass",
port: 5432
});
const app = express();
app.use(cors());
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.listen(8000, () => {
console.log(`Server is running, listening to port 8000`);
});
app.post("mediciones/sigfox_libelium/{device}/{data}/{time}/{customData#trama}", (req, res) => {
const { label, status, priority } = req.body;
pool.query(
"select now()",
(error, results) => {
if (error) {
throw error;
}
res.send(results);
}
);
});
