Data fromwindows computer to blynk

Hi everyone.

Can I send data from my windows computer do blynk?

Hope anyone can help.

You can use the desktop client to control devices and input/view data, but I guess that’s not what you’re asking.

Why not start at the beginning and explain what it is that you’re trying to achieve and why, and we might be able to point you in the right direction.

Yes, PeteKnight. Let’s go.
I want to send some data form my computer, like processor temperature, cooler speed, to blynk and then display it on a device created.

I am trying something like :slight_smile:
url = f’http://blynk.cloud/auth//bridge/1/16’
response = requests.post(url)

That’s the wrong syntax for Blynk IoT. The REST API syntax is…

If you felt like sharing info like what programming/scripting language you were using, how far down the route you are already, whether you can successfully read and display this data, and what you’ve set-up in Blynk as far as datastreams and devices are concerned then we might be able to point you a little further in the right direction.

If this info is top secret then you’ll probably need to figure the rest out for yourself.

Pete.

Pete, thank’s foryour help.
I made it work.
Here is what I did (python):

import re
import requests

url = f’https://xxx.blynk.cloud/external/api/update?token=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&pin=V1&value=60’

response = requests.get(url)
