API Reference

  • Host: <Region>.thethings.network, where <Region> is last part of the handler you registered your application to, e.g. eu.
  • Port: 1883, or 8883 for TLS
  • For TLS, the server uses a Let's Encrypt certificate. If your server does not trust that yet, you might want to include the Let's Encrypt Roots in your certificate chain. Alternatively you can use our PEM-encoded CA certificate, which includes those roots as well: mqtt-ca.pem
  • Username: Application ID
  • Password: Application Access Key

Usage (Mosquitto): mosquitto_sub -h <Region>.thethings.network -d -t 'my-app-id/devices/my-dev-id/up'

Usage (Go client):

import (
	"github.com/TheThingsNetwork/go-utils/log"
	"github.com/TheThingsNetwork/go-utils/log/apex"
	"github.com/TheThingsNetwork/ttn/core/types"
	"github.com/TheThingsNetwork/ttn/mqtt"
)

func main() {
	ctx := apex.Stdout().WithField("Example", "Go Client")
	log.Set(ctx)

	client := mqtt.NewClient(ctx, "ttnctl", "my-app-id", "my-access-key", "<Region>.thethings.network:1883")
	if err := client.Connect(); err != nil {
		ctx.WithError(err).Fatal("Could not connect")
	}
	token := client.SubscribeDeviceUplink("my-app-id", "my-dev-id", func(client mqtt.Client, appID string, devID string, req types.UplinkMessage) {
		// Do something with the uplink message
	})
	token.Wait()
	if err := token.Error(); err != nil {
		ctx.WithError(err).Fatal("Could not subscribe")
	}
}

Each uplink field will be published to its own topic my-app-id/devices/my-dev-id/up/<field>. The payload will be a string with the value in a JSON-style encoding.

If your fields look like the following:

{
  "water": true,
  "analog": [0, 255, 500, 1000],
  "gps": {
    "lat": 52.3736735,
    "lon": 4.886663
  },
  "text": "why are you using text?"
}

you will see this on MQTT:

  • my-app-id/devices/my-dev-id/up/water: true
  • my-app-id/devices/my-dev-id/up/analog: [0, 255, 500, 1000]
  • my-app-id/devices/my-dev-id/up/gps: {"lat":52.3736735,"lon":4.886663}
  • my-app-id/devices/my-dev-id/up/gps/lat: 52.3736735
  • my-app-id/devices/my-dev-id/up/gps/lon: 4.886663
  • my-app-id/devices/my-dev-id/up/text: "why are you using text?"

Topic: <AppID>/devices/<DevID>/down

Message:

{
  "port": 1,                 // LoRaWAN FPort
  "confirmed": false,        // Whether the downlink should be confirmed by the device
  "payload_raw": "AQIDBA==", // Base64 encoded payload: [0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04]
}

Usage (Mosquitto): mosquitto_pub -h <Region>.thethings.network -d -t 'my-app-id/devices/my-dev-id/down' -m '{"port":1,"payload_raw":"AQIDBA=="}'

Usage (Go client):

for setup, see Uplink Messages

token := client.PublishDownlink(types.DownlinkMessage{
  AppID:   "my-app-id",
  DevID:   "my-dev-id",
  FPort:   1,
  Payload: []byte{0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04},
})
token.Wait()
if err := token.Error(); err != nil {
  ctx.WithError(err).Fatal("Could not publish")
}

Instead of payload_raw you can also use payload_fields with an object of fields. This requires the application to be configured with an Encoder Payload Function which encodes the fields into a Buffer.

Message:

{
  "port": 1,                 // LoRaWAN FPort
  "confirmed": false,        // Whether the downlink should be confirmed by the device
  "payload_fields": {
    "led": true
  }
}

Usage (Mosquitto): mosquitto_pub -h <Region>.thethings.network -d -t 'my-app-id/devices/my-dev-id/down' -m '{"port":1,"payload_fields":{"led":true}}'

Usage (Go client):

for setup, see Uplink Messages

token := client.PublishDownlink(types.DownlinkMessage{
  AppID:   "my-app-id",
  DevID:   "my-dev-id",
  FPort:   1,
  Fields: map[string]interface{}{
    "led": true,
  },
})
token.Wait()
if err := token.Error(); err != nil {
  ctx.WithError(err).Fatal("Could not publish")
}

By default, the downlink will replace the currently scheduled downlink, if any. It is also possible to schedule the downlink as the first or last item in a the downlink queue.

{
  "port": 1,
  "confirmed": false,
  // payload_raw or payload_fields
  "schedule": "replace", // allowed values: "replace" (default), "first", "last"
}

Device Activations

Topic: <AppID>/devices/<DevID>/events/activations

Message:

{
  "app_eui": "0102030405060708", // EUI of the application
  "dev_eui": "0102030405060708", // EUI of the device
  "dev_addr": "26001716",        // Assigned address of the device
  "metadata": {
    // Same as with Uplink Message
  }
}

Usage (Mosquitto): mosquitto_sub -h <Region>.thethings.network -d -t 'my-app-id/devices/my-dev-id/events/activations'

Usage (Go client):

for setup, see Uplink Messages

token := client.SubscribeDeviceActivations("my-app-id", "my-dev-id", func(client Client, appID string, devID string, req Activation) {
  // Do something with the activation
})
token.Wait()
if err := token.Error(); err != nil {
  ctx.WithError(err).Fatal("Could not subscribe")
}
