Particle Cloud API
IoT platform API for managing Particle-powered cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth devices with remote function calls, event publishing, and OTA firmware updates.
Best When
You need a full-stack IoT platform with cellular connectivity, reliable device management, and clean REST API for Particle hardware.
Avoid When
You need hardware-agnostic IoT, AWS/Azure-scale deployments, or sub-100ms real-time requirements.
Use Cases
- • Calling functions on remote IoT devices from agents
- • Reading real-time sensor data and variables from devices
- • Publishing and subscribing to IoT events in agent workflows
- • Triggering OTA firmware updates across device fleets
- • Monitoring device connectivity and fleet health
Not For
- • Non-Particle hardware (tightly coupled to Particle ecosystem)
- • Very large scale (10K+ device) deployments without enterprise plan
- • Real-time streaming at sub-100ms latency
