Why do I get error ("status":405,"error":"Method Not Allowed") upon sending data to Thingsboard device via command line

I was just sending some data to my device in thingsboard by writing this command on command line

curl -v -X POST -d "{\"temperature\": 25}" http://demo.thingsboard.io/devices/api/v1/IG4XXXXXXXXXCQM/telemetry
--header "Content-Type:application/json"

but I get this error message at the last

{"timestamp":"2020-01-16T13:09:05.031+0000","status":405,"error":"Method Not Allowed","message":"Request method 'POST' not supported","path":"/devices/api/v1/IG4Dxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxs6CCQM/telemetry"}* Connection #0 to host demo.thingsboard.io left intact

what's it I am not doing right? All the efforts are appreciated Following are the documentation and whole error message

Thingsboard

Solution

  • You need to replace 'device' with 'api' in your URL,in case you are using access tokens, hence, instead of 

    curl -v -X POST -d "{\"temperature\": 25}" http://demo.thingsboard.io/devices/api/v1/IG4XXXXXXXXXCQM/telemetry
--header "Content-Type:application/json"

    You need to use 

    curl -v -X POST -d "{\"temperature\": 25}" http://demo.thingsboard.io/api/v1/IG4XXXXXXXXXCQM/telemetry
--header "Content-Type:application/json"
