A variable is a series of data-points that change over time. In most applications it will represent a physical sensor that measures something from the real world, such as Temperature, Humidity, Pressure, Water Level, Disk Usage... or any time-stamped data!
This is a simple way of looking at our API structure:
- Your account contains Devices
- Devices contain Variables
- Variables contain Values
For Ubidots core platform licenses, this structure a bit larger though:
- Your Ubidots account contains Apps
- Apps contain Organizations
- Organizations contain Users and Devices
- Devices contain Variables
- Variables contain Values
You can create, edit or delete variables through either our front-end or our API.
