  title: ThingSpeak Discover Public Channel and Read Feed
  summary: Search public channels by tag, then read the feed of the first match.
  description: >-
    A discovery flow for consuming open IoT data. It searches the public channel
    directory by tag, selects the first matching channel, and reads its recent feed
    entries. Public channels are readable without a channel read key, so the feed
    read carries only the result count. Every step spells out its request inline so
    the flow can be read and executed without opening the underlying OpenAPI
    description.
