Blynk

description: >-
  Blynk is a low-code / no-code IoT software platform that helps companies
  prototype, deploy, and remotely manage connected devices and applications
  across consumer and commercial markets. The platform combines four
  components — Blynk.Console (web dashboard), Blynk.Apps (white-labeled
  iOS and Android apps), Blynk.Edgent (device-side connection library),
  and Blynk.Cloud (managed backend) — into a full-stack offering that
  removes the need to build custom IoT infrastructure. Developers can
  build interactive mobile and web dashboards with a drag-and-drop
  builder, connect hardware over Wi-Fi, Cellular, LoRaWAN, Ethernet, or
  satellite, and operate fleets with provisioning, OTA firmware updates,
  multi-tenancy, automations, webhooks, and SOC 2 cloud infrastructure.
  Commercial customers use Blynk for branded consumer products,
  industrial monitoring, agriculture, energy and HVAC, smart cities, and
  smart buildings, with more than 5,000 companies and 1M+ developers on
  the platform. Blynk exposes two HTTPS REST APIs — the Device HTTPS
  API for telemetry and command exchange from individual hardware units,
  and the Platform HTTPS API (Enterprise plan) for full programmatic
  CRUD over devices, users, organizations, templates, automations,
  webhooks, and tags using OAuth2 client-credential authentication.

    description: >-
      Token-authenticated HTTPS REST API used by individual devices to read
      and write datastream values, batch update multiple datastreams,
      retrieve historical data, set widget and datastream properties,
      trigger log events, upload files, and read or update device
      metadata. Base URL is https://{server}.blynk.cloud/external/api,
      and requests authenticate via a per-device token. Commonly used by
      MCU firmware (Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi, Particle)
      when the Blynk Library streaming protocol is not in use.

      Enterprise-tier OAuth2 REST API for full programmatic CRUD across
      Blynk Cloud tenancy. Resources include devices (create from
      template, list, search, online status, tags, timeline, update,
      delete), users (list, search, invite, register, transfer, role
      updates, push notifications), organizations and sub-organizations,
      templates, automations, webhooks, and tags. Authentication uses
      OAuth2 client credentials issued in Blynk.Console, exchanged via
      POST /oauth2/token for a bearer access token, and requests are
      rate-limited to 10,000 per minute per organization. Resource
      identifiers are supplied as query parameters.

    description: >-
      Bi-directional low-latency streaming connection protocol used by
      the Blynk Library and Blynk.Edgent to maintain a persistent link
      between devices and Blynk.Cloud. Optimized for constrained MCUs
      (Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, Particle, Raspberry Pi), the protocol
      delivers virtual-pin reads and writes, widget property updates,
      and remote commands without the overhead of polling the HTTPS
      Device API. Surfaced to firmware developers as the Blynk Library
      C++ API.
