In my last post, I stated that I wanted to build an IoT device that would display the number of visitors to this very website.
As I mentioned in my last post, I was finding it a bit difficult to find an easy way to read my visitor count via an API call to the IoT device that I would use to display the visitor count. After some poking around I figured that I could obtain that data via a combination of Google Sheets reports and a ThingSpeak API application.
In my last post, I focused on the building of the Google Sheets report. This time around I will be focussing on building the ThingSpeak logic to read the Google Sheets report and to create a data pipe that my IoT device can use.
Again, this is going to be more of a post about software than spending quality time in the shop, but trust me, we will be back in the shop soon enough.
