This wiki page describes all available API functions.

Adding a single measurement

GET/POST request to 

http://<WebServiceURL>/measure/add

Parameters

<WebServiceURL> The URL to the web service

Headers

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Payload

key=<apikey>&cellid=<cellid>&lat=<lat>&lon=<lon>&mcc=<mcc>&mnc=<mnc>&lac=<lac>

Where

Parameter Data type Description
<apikey> string The id of the user submitting the measurement
<cellid> integer Cell tower id
<lat> double Latitude
<lon> double Longitude
<mcc> integer Mobile country code
<mnc> integer Mobile network code
<lac> integer Local area code

Response

On successfull insert return HTTP 200 with the string "cell inserted"

Business logic

The request is handled by @de.enaikoon.gpssuite.web.measure.NewMeasureController@. The parameters are read into a map and then parsed into a de.enaikoon.m2m.gsmcellmanagment.model.CellMeasurement, and persisted by @de.enaikoon.m2m.gsmcellmanagment.dao.mongodb.GsmCellDao@ (see the Spring common-business.xml configuration) which saves data via Mongo driver. The user is deduced from _apikey_ which is a string unique to each user. User id is persisted as a field in the same object. Suspect measurements are saved into a special collection CellMeasurementSuspect.

Uploading measurements from CSV file

POST request to 

http://<WebServiceURL>/measure/uploadCsv

Parameters

<WebServiceURL>_ The URL to the web service

Headers

Content-Type: multipart/form-data

Payload

CSV file of the following format: 

lat,lon,mcc,mnc,lac,cellid
37.9872945,23.5773136,202,10,11100,13245414
37.9835,24.613223,202,10,11100,13245416
...

Column names recognized: lat, lon, mnc, mcc, lac, cellid, signal level, create_at, updated_at, speed, direction

Supplemented by the parameter key=<apiKey> as form POST field.

Where

Parameter Data type Description
<apikey> string The id of the user submitting the measurement
<cellid> integer Cell tower id
<lat> double Latitude
<lon> double Longitude
<mcc> integer Mobile country code
<mnc> integer Mobile network code
<lac> integer Local area code

Response

On successful insert return HTTP 200.

Business logic

The request is handled by @de.enaikoon.gpssuite.web.measure.NewMeasureController@.

Getting cell position

POST request to 

http://<WebServiceURL>/cell/get

Parameters

<WebServiceURL> The URL to the web service

Headers

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Payload

cellid=<cellid>&mcc=<mcc>&mnc=<mnc>&lac=<lac>&fmt=<fmt>

Where

Parameter Data type Description
<cellid> integer Cell tower id
<mcc> integer Mobile country code
<mnc> integer Mobile network code
<lac> integer Local area code
<fmt> string (xml (default), txt/text) Response format. If an unknown format is specified, text is returned.

Response

On successful request return HTTP 200 with XML of the following format: 

<code class="xml">
<rsp stat="ok">
<cell lac="0" mcc="250" lat="50.5715642160311" cellId="29513" lon="25.2897075399231" nbSamples="57" mnc="99" range="6000"/>
</rsp>
</code>

Business logic

The request is handled by @de.enaikoon.gpssuite.web.cell.CellController@.
It uses @de.enaikoon.m2m.gsmcellmanagment.dao.mongodb.GsmCellDao@ to calculate the average cell measurement, and builds an XML string to return to the user.

Parameter Data type Description
<cellid> integer Cell tower id
<mcc> integer Mobile country code
<mnc> integer Mobile network code
<lac> integer Local area code
