Adafruit IO API Documentation

Repository of documentation for Adafruit IO's HTTP and MQTT API. This is a fork of the Slate documentation project. Slate is a set of templates and conventions applied to the middleman static site generator, so our documentation source mostly markdown formatted text and some Ruby, but the output is static HTML, css, and javascript.

You can visit the live documentation site at https://io.adafruit.com/api/docs/#adafruit-io
