Is there any type of API for goodcloud? I would like my routers to be able to query their “Description” in goodcloud for other monitoring purposes. It would also be nice if I could push information into the “TIMELINE” area of goodcloud. Is this possible? Thank you! ---

We don’t expose the API. You can search the Description on Device List of GoodCloud. You can push information to the Timeline of GoodCloud, even AWS IoT, this is the guide [GitHub - gl-inet/ble2mqtt: BLE 2 MQTT bridge on GL.iNet IoT gateway](https://github.com/gl-inet/ble2mqtt) ---

Thank you for this! I have tried the “ubus call” command from your link and that does work, although I note that on the MT300N it appears that in the log all messages in the log are prepended with “devicesList.” in the log. Is there a way to get around this? I have also not figured out how to put multiple lines yet. ![image](https://forum-static.gl-inet.com/original/2X/1/17955cf3cee2df5e8832c22011085d65560e88e0.png) ---

The “deviceList.”, looks like it is a frontend bug, I will fix it. what do you mean “multiple lines”? I think the “ubus call” just send a string to Timeline, if you want to send multiple lines, just send multiple times. Is this OK? ---

Ah ok thank you for looking into that! It is true I could send multiple messages. I was hoping to have multiple lines for a single entry, but I can do as you say. When I tried to send carriage returns in the string they appear to be stripped out. ---

Could you show me your code? Is it like below? ``` ubus call mqtt pub '{"api":"/user/data", "data":"Fremont ,\n California, \n"}' ``` ---

This is the code, called from a shell script: > ubus call mqtt pub ‘{“api”:“/user/data”, “data”:"’“$message”‘"}’ $message is a multiline shell string collected from a few prior commands. The same string is similarly put into a JSON that gets posted to slack and does come through as multiline. I haven’t poked into it too much to see if I can get it to do the multiline with different formatting. ---
