Nightscout Uploader Settings

xDrip » Features » Nightscout » Nightscout master

To enable the Nightscout uploader (master), follow these steps:

1- Go to Settings −> Cloud Upload −> Nightscout Sync (REST-API).

2- At the top of the page, enable the function.

3- Tap on Base URL and enter the format:
https://password@hostname/api/v1/

“password” is the “API_SECRET” you can find in your Nightscout variables.
“hostname” is the URL you use to access Nightscout in a browser (excluding https://).

Example:
If your hostname and password are as follows:

Hostname: jane.us.to
Password: 3MyPassword4NS

Then, the correct URL will be:
https://3MyPassword4NS@jane.us.to/api/v1/

Disable a follower

To disable a follower, you can remove the token associated with that follower.

If multiple followers use the same token, you’ll need to change it and inform those you want to continue following you.
If you’ve shared your API_SECRET with the follower, you’ll need to update it.

Upload to multiple Nightscout sites

You can upload to more than one site; however, there is an important limitation. If you upload to only one site and that site goes down, xDrip will maintain a queue of readings that have not been uploaded. When the site is restored, the readings from the queue will be uploaded.
However, if you are uploading to multiple sites and one of them goes down while another remains functional, xDrip clears the queue as soon as the readings are uploaded to any one of them. When the site that was down is restored, the readings that were not uploaded to it while it was down will not be uploaded.

To upload to multiple Nightscout sites, enter the URLs in the same field, separated by spaces.
