This tutorial mainly introduces how to simulate data upload by using API testing tool.
**Hardware**
No hardware is required. Only simulate data upload by API testing tool provided by Devicebit platform.
**Procedure：**
1 Sign up a DeviceBit Account ([www.devicebit.com](/www.devicebit.com))
Pic.1 Sign Up
## 3.1 Add My Device, Sensors: Humidity and Temperature
(The steps are as follows. Note: note down the ID, for it will be used in Api calling.)
## 3.2 Add A Device
After login, go to My Devices -> Devices->Add a Device
First, click on Devices -> Add A Device , as the picture1 below. After entering the related information, click on Save.
## 3.3 Add Humidity
The next step is to add the humidity sensor. Go to**My Devices-> Sensors&Controllers->Sensor**, click on **Add**.
Pic.3 Sensors
Then there will be the ***Add A Sensor*** page.
Pic.4 Add Humidity
## 3.3 Add Temperature
Add the ***Temperature*** sensor in the same way. Please see the following picture.
Pic.5 Add Temperature
After setting up, as picture 5 shows, note down the ***ID*** because it will be used in Api calling.
Pic.6 Sensor ID
## 3.4 Data Simulation
Now, let's move on to simulate data upload by using Api testing tool.
At the home page (the website is www.devicebit.com) click on ***Documentation***
Pic.7 Home Page
and then go to **API Directory-> Sensor ->Upload Sensor Data**
Pic.8 API Directory
Website
https://www.devicebit.com/dev/apitest/203
Pic.9 On-line test
Click on ***on-line test***
Pic.10 API Testing Tool
Enter your **Userkey**
Enter ***Device ID*** at API URL
http://www.devicebit.com/api/V1/gateway/UpdateSensors/{device ID}
[（01 for exampe）](http://www.lewei50.com/api/V1/gateway/UpdateSensors/%E4%BD%A0%E7%9A%84%E7%BD%91%E5%85%B3%E5%8F%B7)
After entering the device ID, the APIURL is: http://www.devicebit.com/api/V1/gateway/UpdateSensors/01
Pic.11 Userkey & Device No.
Change ***T1*** to ***Temperature*** for ***Name***; change ***1*** to ***32*** for **Value***;
Change ***01H1*** to ***Humidity*** for ***Name***; change ***96.2*** to ***75*** for ***Value***.
Pic.12 Post Data
Click on ***Run***, and then the request detail will be displayed.
Pic.13 Request Detail
At last, Go to ***My IOT -> Sensors&Controllers->Sensor List***, you will see the following value.
Pic.14 The Value
Well Done! Your data upload is successfully simulated by using API testing tool!
