Account Balance: $
The "Account Balance" does not reflect money owed. This is a feature which is being tested for potential future implementation and can be ignored. This dashboard is undergoing beta testing and all services are currently rendered without charge. This number resets daily at 7am PST, USA.
A modified free tier option with generous limits will be implemented after the conclusion of beta testing (for the disruptors, makers, hacksmiths, DIY hands on types, and curious minds of this world). What will you make, measure or monitor with the X-Centric™ system? The sky is the limit! Shoot us an email at [email protected] to find out how we can help you with your specific implementation.
Enterprise users ask us about X-Centric's Unity Dashboard™ which can help drive business objectives and maximize workflow efficiency (tiered access, custom website/app functionality and skins, collaborative dashboard for data collection, processing, visualization, management and communication).
• Use this button to toggle real-time map of incoming sample points and data.
• Your last 20 points are plotted here when the page is initially loaded or refreshed.
• New records automatically appear on this map in real-time if they have GPS information (which can be obtained by using the X-Centric™ Android mobile application).
• Click on the markers to view sample spot information.
• Real-time measurement interpolation and mapping overlays coming soon!
• Use this button to toggle real-time graph of incoming data.
• Your last 20 points are graphed here when the page is initially loaded or refreshed.
• New records automatically appear on this graph in real-time. The graph plots the first numeric value in your comma seperated data field. We will implement more options for flexibility.
• Pan Option - Hold shift and click on the graph + move mouse horizontally to pan the graph.
• Zoom Option - Click on the graph and move mouse horizontally to scale x axis or vertically to zoom y axis (to target area of interest).
• Reset Graph - Double click on the graph to reset it.
Search, sift, filter, realtime graphing, mapping and interpolation options coming soon!
• Your last 20 records are shown here in the "Data List" when the page is initially loaded or refreshed (new records are automatically and instantly appended to this list for real-time monitoring).
• You can download your last 1000 records using the "Download" button. You may use that button a maximum of 10 times per day so use it sparingly.
• You can add up to 2000 records to your dashboard per day.
• These limits are refreshed every 24 hours at 7am Pacific Standard Time, USA.
These limitations keep our operational costs in check until we implement payment options after concluding our Beta testing.
Welcome to the X-Centric™ Dashboard!
Your unique secret API key is:
Keep this private.
Mobile App Instructions
When you take a measurement via the mobile application, the data is auto-magically and immediately available in your X-Centric™ Dashboard!
MQTT protocol Instructions
The X-Centric™ data management system is MQTT enabled. You can connect to the X-Centric™ broker at
mqtt-protocol.xcentric.tech
on default port 1883.
Your username and password are your API key and your private stream is only available to you. SSL port 8883 coming soon. More instructions and tutorials will be added but fyi X-Centric™ is operating a fully functioning MQTT broker which publishes data uploaded to the dashboard from the mobile app or api to a private stream.
You can receive all published data by subscribing to
x/YOUR_API_KEY/#
You can receive specific data by subscribing to
x/YOUR_API_KEY/SAMPLE_ID
API Instructions
If you would like to add data to your X-Centric™ Dashboard via the API, all you have to do is access a formatted URL. The structure of the URL is as follows.
https://www.xcentric.tech/api/x.php?key=YOUR_API_KEY&email=YOUR_EMAIL&sample=SAMPLE_ID&data=DATA
The fields in bold should be replaced with your own information. Your secret API key should be kept private and can be found above. The SAMPLE_ID and DATA fields should be replaced with the data you wish to upload to the X-Centric™ Dashboard. Dynamic user defined data field, and data addition to dashboard via the API coming soon (i.e. within the structured API url, set a datafield equal to some data you wish to upload and have it stored and available in your dashboard immediately, for example: &pH=7&CEC=20 at the end of the query string url would create custom user defined fields of pH and CEC containing 7 and 20 as data within each field respectively). Avoid using the following characters <, >, &, #, and ? as they may cause errors under certain conditions. Limit calls to 1 per second per IP to avoid errors.
Note that commas (,) are special. Commas inserted between values in your data get parsed and show up in their own cell within the csv you are able to download by clicking the "Download All Data" button.
In its simplest form, this API can be used to upload data to your X-Centric™ Dashboard via a simple browser. Go ahead, replace the fields in the structured URL with some example data and paste it into a new browser tab. You will see that the data has been instantly added to your Dashboard.
For example:
Visiting the following link will add a sample to your dashboard by the name of "Enceladus" with a data field of "42, X, Test, 3.14". When you click the link, check your dashboard and also click the "Download" button to see how these comma seperated values are being parsed.
More practically, you may also wish to add data to the X-Centric™ dashboard programmatically via any device or sensor capable of connecting to the internet. Programmatically construct a URL conforming to the specified structure and connect to the URL to upload the data. IoT connectivity can be added to your sensors or devices by incorporating GSM, GPRS, WIFI, or other internet enabling modules allowing you to seamlessly add data to the Dashboard from wherever*, whenever.
*If you are conducting measurements in remote areas where GSM connection is unavailable, consider purchasing an iridium SIM. These issues will be less of a problem once Starlink is operational in your area.
The X-Centric™ team is actively developing the Dashboard and mobile application, we would love to hear from you. If you have any questions, concerns or feature requests please reach out to us via email at [email protected]
Happy Sciencing Explorer!
• Using this button counts as one of your 10 downloads per day.
• Your last 1000 data points are mapped here (if they contain GPS information).
• Some sample points are included on the map for illustrative purposes.
• Real-time interpolation map overlays coming soon! (measure and map seamlessly and instantly using our proprietary algoriths, or choose from a variety of scientifically documented and publically available open source algorithms).
• Text message/email alerts coming soon for non-responsive stationary field sensors (or if measurements fall above or below a set threshold).
