URI

A URI uniquely identifies resources and directs the server to perform a specified operation. URIs often include:

• Path Defines the specific resource location, such as /data for general data access or /data/latest for the most recent entry.

• Query Parameters Optional components that provide additional information, like filtering data by date.

• ID Often used to access individual resources, such as /data/{device_id}, to request data for a specific device.

As an example,

/data contains general endpoint to access all data.
/data/latest retrieves the latest data record.
/data/{device_id} retrieves data specific to a particular device, identified by device_id.
