Experimental Release of Glucose Ticker: v1.2.0-beta.2

This is an experimental version - there may be bugs.

What's New:

  • Support for Gluroo: Glucose Ticker can now pull your latest reading from both Nightscout and Gluroo.
  • API Secret Authentication Support: In cases where token-based authentication is not possible (for example, in Gluroo) Nightscout now supports api secret authentication as well.

About Authentication Methods in Nightscout:
There are 2 distinct ways getting data from a Nightscout site:

  • API Secret: Acts as a master password, providing full access to all Nightscout features.
  • Tokens: Offer more granular control, allowing permissions to be set for specific data types.

Recommendation: Unless you have no other choice, I recommend sticking to token-based authentication, since tokens only grant access to a limited set of data in your site, while an API secret gives access to everything. API Secrets are meant to remain secret.

How to Use Glucose Ticker with Gluroo:

  • From Gluroo, get the url to be used with xDrip. It should look like this: 
    https://[email protected]/api/v1

Note the '@' symbol in the url. This is what tells Glucose Ticker to switch to API secret authentication.
