How to get minute by minute temperature readings for one or more sensors through API
19 hours ago by Colin
The API example web page fails and returns NULL for a temperature readings for my sensors. The "Try It" curl command returns a successful 200 status, but the temperature values are NULL.
Request:
curl --request POST \
--url https://api.samsara.com/v1/sensors/history \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header 'authorization: Bearer XXXXXX' \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--data '
{
"fillMissing": "withNull",
"series": [
{
"field": "probeTemperature",
"widgetId": 281474978115162
},
{
"field": "ambientTemperature",
"widgetId": 281474978115159
}
],
"startMs": 1761256494000,
"endMs": 1761260094000,
"stepMs": 60000
}
'
Response of the form:
{
"results": [
{
"timeMs": 1761256494000,
"series": [
null,
null
]
},
{
"timeMs": 1761256554000,
"series": [
null,
null
]
},
The sensors are working. I can download the temperature values for individual temperature probes through the web UI. I am trying to download the same values for one or ideally more temperature probes via the API to remove a tedious and error prone manual process.
