Quick Start
Get your white-label IoT platform running in under 5 minutes. This guide walks you through account creation, device registration, and viewing your first data.
1. Create your account
Sign up at app.datakubo.com/signup using your email or Google account. A 14-day free trial starts automatically — no credit card required.
On signup, DataKubo automatically provisions your organization with a unique subdomain (yourcompany.datakubo.com), an API key, and a starter dashboard.
2. Get your API key
Your API key is generated automatically on signup. Find it in Settings → API in your admin dashboard. You'll use this key to authenticate webhook requests and API calls.
X-API-Key: dk_live_abc123...
3. Point your webhook
Configure your LoRaWAN network server (ChirpStack, TTN, or any HTTP source) to send device data to your DataKubo ingestion endpoint:
POST https://api.datakubo.com/api/v1/ingest/water-consumption
Headers: X-API-Key: your_api_key
DataKubo automatically normalizes payloads from ChirpStack and TTN formats. See the Webhook Integration guide for detailed payload examples.
4. Register a device
Devices are auto-registered on first data ingestion. Alternatively, register them explicitly via the API:
POST /api/v1/devices/register
Content-Type: application/json
X-API-Key: your_api_key
{
"dev_eui": "a1b2c3d4e5f60001",
"device_name": "Water Meter #1",
"device_type": "water_meter"
}
5. View your dashboard
Once data flows in, your admin dashboard at yourcompany.datakubo.com/admin/dashboard shows real-time device status, consumption charts, and fleet analytics.
