Downloading data from thingspeak into microbit

I want to be able to download data from thingspeak into microbit, as well as uploading data into thingspeak. I am using an iot:bit. Is it possible?

Here is one fairly detailed tutorial. My worry is that there doesnt seem to be a delay in the write requests to ThingSpeak. You need to wait at least 15 s between requests to ThingSpeak for a free account. Hopefully you can make sure you add some delay. If you constantly bombard the ThingSpeak server, you might eventually be blocked.

In this tutorial, there is a delay of 2 seconds. If you have a paid license, that will work. If not, please increae the delay to 15 seconds at least.

HI Christopher

the tutorials you give do not seem to mention how to download information from ThingSpeak to a microbit - only how to send it?

I too want to know how to do this and am wondering if you or anyone else has a way to do this?

The download and upload API commands are similar. Have a look at the Read Data API page to see how to form the command.

ThingSpeak provides an API to read data stored in your channel. You may use this on your iot:bit device.
