Bosch IoT Manager

Remote access to Bosch IoT Manager


In this page you will learn how to programmatically access Bosch IoT Manager via its two provided entry points - through REST or through a Java client.

Remote access via REST

In order to access Bosch IoT Manager via REST, assign the REST endpoint URL to your REST client:

iot-manager.rest_endpoint: https://manager.eu-1.bosch-iot-suite.com/api/1/

Find it under the Access Credentials of your subscription.

Establish Connection

The connection between a Java Client and Bosch IoT Manager is established through the gRPC open source framework (find out more at https://grpc.io/).

This connection can be formed in two manners depending on the use case:

Single-user access

To successfully access Bosch IoT Manager remotely, create a Java client, which establishes the connection to the remote service. The following code snippet illustrates how to do this in the context of a single user:

/* Create a gRPC Service Factory that
could be used to get different remote services within the same user context */
 
GRPCServiceFactory grpcServiceFactory =
GRPCServiceFactory.newBuilder()
.host("grpc.manager.eu-1.bosch-iot-suite.com")
.ssl(true)
.port(443)
.credential(new Token(accessToken, refreshToken))
 
.build();

As a next step, use

DeviceInventory deviceInventory = grpcServiceFactory.service(DeviceInventory.class);

to invoke the remote service (DeviceInventory), i.e. the grpcServiceFactory you created in the previous step.


When attempting to connect to the Mass Management Engine replace DeviceInventory.class with MassManagementEngine.class.


Multiple-users access

When the use case requires multiple-user access, create the Java client which will be used to get the remote service, following the approach demonstrated in the code snippet below:

/* Create a gRPC Client that could be used to get remote services each with different user contexts*/
 
GRPCClient grpcClient = GRPCClient.getInstance(
 
/*ssl*/ true,
 
/*host*/ "grpc.manager.eu-1.bosch-iot-suite.com",
 
/*port*/443
 
);

To get the actual remote service:

DeviceInventory deviceInventory = grpcClient.service(DeviceInventory.class, new Token(accessToken, refreshToken));

Again, when attempting to connect to the Mass Management Engine replace DeviceInventory.class with MassManagementEngine.class.
