One of the most commonly-used techniques for obtaining the desired data is by an HTTP GET call. Most of the IoT platforms that exist in the market have REST APIs exposed. There, we can send values from the device to the platform using an HTTP POST request, and at the same time get data by an HTTP GET request. Infact, in Chapter 2, Weather Station (IoT), where we used dweet.io to send data from a device, we used an SDK. Internally, the SDK also performs a similar HTTP POST call to send in data.

Overview of this book
Change the way you look at embedded electronics with Intel Edison. It is a small computing platform packed with a set of robust features to deliver hands-on performance, durability, and software support.
This book is a perfect place to kickstart development and rapid prototyping using Intel Edison. It will start by introducing readers to the Intel Edison board and explaining how to get started with it. You will learn how to build a mini weather station, which will help you to acquire temperature and smoke level and push it to the IoT platform. Then you will see how to build a home automation device and control your appliances using an Android app. Furthermore, we will build a security system using a webcam to detect faces and perform voice recognition. Toward the end, the book will demonstrate how you can build
two robots, which will be based on different line sensing sensors and can be controlled by a PC.
The book will guide the readers through each and every step of execution of a project, using Intel Edison.
