Quick Start
Set up your environment and use REST APIs to communicate with the Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service instance by performing the following tasks.
Step 1: Obtain Account Information
-
Username and password
-
The URL of the Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service instance. The URL format is similar to
myinstance-myidentitydomain.iot.us.oraclecloud.com
and the default port is443.
Step 2: Install cURL
You can use the cURL command-line tool to access the Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service REST API.
To connect securely to the server, you must install a version of cURL that supports SSL and provide an SSL certificate authority (CA) certificate file or bundle to authenticate against the Verisign CA certificate. For more information about:
-
Using cURL, see Use cURLs.
-
Authentication, see Authentication.
-
In your browser, navigate to the cURL home page at http://curl.haxx.se and click Download in the left navigation menu.
-
On the cURL Releases and Downloads page, locate the SSL-enabled version of the cURL software that corresponds to your operating system, click the link to download the ZIP file, and install the software.
-
Navigate to the cURL CA Certs page at http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html and download the ca-bundle.crt SSL CA certificate bundle in the folder where you installed cURL.
-
Open a command window, navigate to the directory where you installed cURL, and set the cURL environment variable,
CURL_CA_BUNDLE
, to the location of an SSL certificate authority (CA) certificate bundle. For example:C:\curl> set CURL_CA_BUNDLE=ca-bundle.crt
You are now ready to send requests to your Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service instance using cURL.
