Get Thing Type Info

After we’ve listed all available Thing Types we will continue to query information about a specific Thing Type.

We’ll use the Thing Type GET endpoint to get information about a specific Thing Type. This is done by sending a GET method to /thingtypes/{id} with a Thing Type ID as query parameter.

Thing Type GET
Method	GET
Endpoint	/thingtypes/{id}
{id}	The ID of the Thing Type to get, set in query path

Continue to add code after our login() call, using the invoke() method.

Replace the Thing Type ID with an ID from your Thing Types:

let result = await myApi.invoke({
  url: '/thingtypes/191' // Replace 191 with your Thing Type ID
})
console.log(result.data)

Complete Code

const API = require('./api.class.js')
const myApi = new API('< API key >')

const main = async () => {
  try {
    await myApi.init() // Init API (fetch Manifest)
    await myApi.login({
      username: '< your MIC username >',
      password: '< your MIC password >'
    })

    let result = await myApi.invoke({
      url: '/thingtypes/191' // Replace 191 with your Thing Type ID
    })
    console.log(result.data)
  } catch (e) {
    console.error('An error occured:', e)
  }
}

// Invoke our program
main()

Run the program:

node index.js

The user should now be logged in and print information about a specific Thing Type.
