Streaming Data using API

Hi sengyap,

---

For step 9, what does it mean by "copy the sample app locally"? Where do I get the sample app?

---

You can download the sample app here.

---

Can I just check, for step 5 and 6, do I need to type the field name as "ts" and "value"? Can I use "Actual departure/arrival times", "Delay calculations", and "Equipment type" instead?

---

To illustrate the sample app, you need to type the field name as "ts" and "value", because it is hard coded in the sample app as below:

// Send POST request to the push URL
// Uses the WebRequest sample code as documented here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/debx8sh9(v=vs.110).aspx
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(realTimePushURL);
request.Method = "POST";
string postData = String.Format("[{{ \"ts\": \"{0}\", \"value\":{1} }}]", currentTime, currentValue);
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Making POST request with data: {0}", postData));
                    
// Prepare request for sending
byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);
request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;

// Get the request stream.
Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream();

// Write the data to the request stream.
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);

// Close the Stream object.
dataStream.Close();

If you want to use "Actual departure/arrival times", "Delay calculations", and "Equipment type" instead, you need to rewrite your own app correspondingly.
