Each Intelligent Environments service consists of an API layer, which can also reveal WebSocket information, and a query engine.
The following graphic illustrates the Intelligent Environments Service components:
REST API Layer and Websocket Services
Client applications can access data using service REST API endpoints. Your application makes an HTTPS request and parses the response. Requests for live data provide a Websocket link. To retrieve WebSocket data, you must use a WebSocket client.
You can use any web-development language to access the APIs.
Query Engine
The query engine enables developers to use JSON to retrieve data about any object or any object property.
