Is it possible to create an MQTT API to serve as a third-party API for other developers?

Is it possible to create an MQTT API service for being consumed by others?

If yes, how can I do that and would that be of any use?

If no, why? Maybe it is possible to set up an API using some other IoT-specific protocol (like CoAP or something else)?

I thought that it would be useful to persist the sensors' data and the data generated by other IoT devices in some cloud for being processed and analyzed.

Solution

  • It already exists.

    Look at things like Xively as a dashboard for MQTT data or the IBM's IoTF and Amazon's AWS IoT offerings
