Location Services

Hello,

I'm tryint to do some test of Custom endpoint notifications with the Aruba Beacons and Meridian.

When I press the test bottom to check the target URL (in this case http://httpbin.org/html) i get this -->

Error: Uh oh - there was a problem triggering that endpoint. Status: 400 (Received bad status code 405 from url http://httpbin.org/html).

I also tried with other URL (http://google.com), and i recived the same error.

Could someone tell me whats wrong  and give me a URL that works to test a custom endpoint campaign?

Thank you!

Ramon,

The external trigger URL should receive and interprete the JSON data that Meridian sends to it. So you need some dedicated PHP script or web application there, instead of pointing it to an arbitrary web site.

I created a short video around this question that shows the data coming in from the Meridian cloud and a web-app responding to that. This video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIF4SqyQkdI

Hope that video answers your question.

Example data coming in from Meridian (note it comes in in json format, not the format below):

(
    [is_enter] => true
    [campaign_id] => 5647648723828736
    [broadcaster_id] => 85BAEDEA-1ACE-404B-874D-29AC21C18D58:16005:17491
    [device_id] => 318e22ed-7450-39a6-bbad-c6eb19d3b79b:com.arubanetworks.campus
)

And if I have an (OAUTH) authenticated request, it has an additional authentication_token:

(
    [is_enter] => true
    [access_token] => bf5268e4a9baa3835c5be135e4715073f93a559e
    [campaign_id] => 5647648723828736
    [broadcaster_id] => 85BAEDEA-1ACE-404B-874D-29AC21C18D58:16005:17491
    [device_id] => 3da7cf8c-7cae-3b71-8a73-d2a078c67744:com.arubanetworks.campus
)

The access_token can be used to lookup the user information (in my case my Name and e-mail) and use it on your server.

We've found that http://requestb.in works pretty well for us as a testing custom endpoint.

Cheers,
