Blynk

aid: blynk
name: Blynk
description: Blynk is a low-code / no-code IoT software platform that helps companies prototype, deploy, and remotely manage
  connected devices and applications across consumer and commercial markets. The platform combines four components — Blynk.Console
  (web dashboard), Blynk.Apps (white-labeled iOS and Android apps), Blynk.Edgent (device-side connection library), and Blynk.Cloud
  (managed backend) — into a full-stack offering that removes the need to build custom IoT infrastructure. Developers can
  build interactive mobile and web dashboards with a drag-and-drop builder, connect hardware over Wi-Fi, Cellular, LoRaWAN,
  Ethernet, or satellite, and operate fleets with provisioning, OTA firmware updates, multi-tenancy, automations, webhooks,
  and SOC 2 cloud infrastructure. Commercial customers use Blynk for branded consumer products, industrial monitoring, agriculture,
  energy and HVAC, smart cities, and smart buildings, with more than 5,000 companies and 1M+ developers on the platform. Blynk
  exposes two HTTPS REST APIs — the Device HTTPS API for telemetry and command exchange from individual hardware units, and
  the Platform HTTPS API (Enterprise plan) for full programmatic CRUD over devices, users, organizations, templates, automations,
  webhooks, and tags using OAuth2 client-credential authentication.

  description: Token-authenticated HTTPS REST API used by individual devices to read and write datastream values, batch update
    multiple datastreams, retrieve historical data, set widget and datastream properties, trigger log events, upload files,
    and read or update device metadata. Base URL is https://{server}.blynk.cloud/external/api, and requests authenticate via
    a per-device token. Commonly used by MCU firmware (Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi, Particle) when the Blynk Library
    streaming protocol is not in use.

  description: Enterprise-tier OAuth2 REST API for full programmatic CRUD across Blynk Cloud tenancy. Resources include devices
    (create from template, list, search, online status, tags, timeline, update, delete), users (list, search, invite, register,
    transfer, role updates, push notifications), organizations and sub-organizations, templates, automations, webhooks, and
    tags. Authentication uses OAuth2 client credentials issued in Blynk.Console, exchanged via POST /oauth2/token for a bearer
    access token, and requests are rate-limited to 10,000 per minute per organization. Resource identifiers are supplied as
    query parameters.

  description: Bi-directional low-latency streaming connection protocol used by the Blynk Library and Blynk.Edgent to maintain
    a persistent link between devices and Blynk.Cloud. Optimized for constrained MCUs (Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, Particle,
    Raspberry Pi), the protocol delivers virtual-pin reads and writes, widget property updates, and remote commands without
    the overhead of polling the HTTPS Device API. Surfaced to firmware developers as the Blynk Library C++ API.
