Expanded flexibility with Machine Attributes API

Release 203 of the Tulip platform is here. This release contains routine bug fixes and small feature updates, as well as the new Machine Attributes API feature.

The newly released Machine Attributes API allows you to send data to a specific attribute of a Machine via a RESTful API using the /attributes/report endpoint. This enables flexible options to integrate with Tulip from Node-RED, Python, or other languages and services.

With the recent release of our Edge MC, you can connect sensors and machines to your Tulip apps with Node-RED and the Machine Attributes API. Getting Started with Edge MC and Node-RED →
