Contextual API
Query real-time location and associated contextual metadata via REST

The Contextual API is suited for occasional or periodic contextual queries. The Contextual API answers: what is the current location and context?

Pareto's Contextual API queries are identical to those of reelyActive's chickadee open source software (OSS) package. Applications built on the Contextual API will be compatible with both Pareto and the OSS. Implicit linked data representations of products and organizations are sourced from reelyActive's Sniffypedia project, an open database.

Both JSON and HTML are supported: any route can be queried via browser for a human-readable response.


What is the context at ___?

The /contextat route provides real-time location data augmented with any associated contextual metadata. The query is performed on a logical grouping of receivers based on either:

  • a receiver identifier, for example:
    pareto.reelyactive.com/contextat/receiver/001bc50940810000
  • a directory, for example:
    pareto.reelyactive.com/contextat/directory/notman:first:east
  • a tag, for example:
    pareto.reelyactive.com/contextat/tags/office

Consult the chickadee documentation for details concerning:

receiver   directory   tags



What is the context near ___?

The /contextnear route provides real-time location data augmented with any associated contextual metadata. The query is performed on a logical grouping of transmitters based on either:

  • a transmitter identifier, for example:
    pareto.reelyactive.com/contextnear/transmitter/fee150bada55
  • a tag, for example:
    pareto.reelyactive.com/contextnear/tags/chair

Consult the chickadee documentation for details concerning:

transmitter   tags
