Afero Cloud OTA Firmware API
The Afero Over-the-Air (OTA) Update API lets a partner drive firmware releases from their own CI/CD pipeline instead of the OTA Manager web application. It creates and updates partner firmware types, creates firmware records in the partner firmware pool, uploads firmware binaries to a temporary location and moves them into the permanent repository, checks whether a name and version already exists, associates pool images with device types to make them OTA-eligible, lists and filters firmware images with tag filtering and paging, pushes an image to a specific device, dissociates an image from a device type, and lists firmware tags.
Afero Cloud OTA Firmware API is one of 4 APIs that Afero publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.
Tagged areas include Firmware, Over-the-Air Updates, Device Management, and Deployment. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and an API reference.
This API exposes 19 operations across 14 paths, and defines 15 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.2.0, at version v1.
Requests are made against a single base URL, https://api.afero.io.
