Populate the meta in location history API through nRFCloud

Hey everyone!

We're making use of nRFCloud on our nRF9160-based system.
I'm trying to populate the meta in the location history API.

The response is always empty, like this:

{
    "deviceId": "nrf-352656101081837",
    "serviceType": "GPS",
    "insertedAt": "2022-12-06T13:35:20.785Z",
    "uncertainty": "24.000000",
    "lat": "68.000000",
    "lon": "17.000000",
    "meta": {}
}
I'm sending the data like this, as shown by the list messages API
{
    "topic": "prod/XX/XX",
    "deviceId": "nrf-XX",
    "receivedAt": "2022-12-06T09:27:13.804Z",
    "message": {
        "messageType": "DATA",
        "data": {
            "acc": 24.000000,
            "lng": 17.000000,
            "lat": 68.000000,
            "meta": {
                "bat": 4167
            }
        }
        "appId": "GNSS"
    },
    "tenantId": "XX"
}
As you see, I'm trying to pack the battery level in the same message, and I want to retrieve this data along with the location when using the location history API. 
The actual message I encode and send is as such:
{"appId": "GNSS","messageType": "DATA", "data": {"lng": 17.000000.,"lat": 68.000000,"acc": 24.000000, "meta":{"bat":4363}}}
My question is: How can I pack this battery data in the location history meta?
Thank you all for all and any suggestions!
Kind regards,
Torje

  • Hi, 

    The issue is with the formatting of the message data. Put the "bat" property inline like this:

    {
        "topic": "prod/XX/XX",
        "deviceId": "nrf-XX",
        "receivedAt": "2022-12-06T09:27:13.804Z",
        "message": {
            "messageType": "DATA",
            "data": {
                "acc": 24.000000,
                "lng": 17.000000,
                "lat": 68.000000,
                "bat": 4167
            }
            "appId": "GNSS"
        },
        "tenantId": "XX"
    }

  • Hello Amanda,

    And thank you for replying.

    I have tried this as well, shown by the message API as such:

            {
                "topic""prod/xx/xx",
                "deviceId""nrf-xx",
                "receivedAt""2022-12-07T11:37:56.846Z",
                "message": {
                    "messageType""DATA",
                    "data": {
                        "acc": 10.000000,
                        "lng"17.000000,
                        "bat"4171,
                        "lat"68.000000
                    },
                    "appId""GNSS"
                },
                "tenantId""xx"
            },
    This gives the following when calling the location history API:
            {
                "deviceId""nrf-xx",
                "serviceType""GPS",
                "insertedAt""2022-12-07T11:37:57.015Z",
                "uncertainty""10.000000",
                "lat""68.000000",
                "lon""17.000000",
                "meta": {}
            },
    Still missing the battery information. If you have any other suggestions, they are very welcomed!
    Thanks again
