Test Data (websocket?)

Developers

Is there a trove of exhaustive test data out there?

I’m getting the following off a websocket for lightning:

{
  "serial_number": "ST-00081234",
  "type": "evt_strike",
  "hub_sn": "HB-00061234",
  "evt": [
    1710383159,
    13,
    -182,
    1
  ],
  "source": "enhanced",
  "device_id": 392412
}

But this doesn’t “seem” to match what I expect

The QuickStart says we have this

And the other API docs say we have this:

Fine - I have these fields - but there are other fields that show up in the messages … and I’m trying to see if there is a list somewhere of what they are. I’d like to have an exhaustive websocket lib that gets everything.

I just kind of catch issues with my parsing - throw the files into a test fixture and refine.

A similar question was unanswered two years ago - Lightning Strike Event [type = evt_strike] - What is the unit for Energy? - #7 by amin

I thought that was answered somewhere. There is no unit for energy it just is a number

I’m afraid you are not going to find what you are looking for. The API docs only document the fields that are supported for third-party access. The other “undocumented” fields are either used to support WF’s own apps (they don’t use a separate API), are for testing, or are experimental features that may disappear at any point. Sometimes us users can deduce what a value may be, and can choose to use it if we wish, but it is at risk of being removed from the API at any point

Suggest you code to the published public interface ‘and’ have your code defend itself against unexpected extra input like any good program should be coded to do.
