Azure IoT Hub - REST APIs

Question

Hello,

The only IoT Hub REST APIs doc I found is this one https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/mt548492.aspx. Are these the only available APIs? What about sending messages (in analogy with Event Hubs) via a REST API? 

Thanks.
Guy

Answer 2

Hello, Thanks but I mean sending messages via REST API to IoT Hub not Event Hub. If i'm right the links in your message show sending messages via REST API to event hubs and the other ones sending/receiving messages using the .NET IoT Hub SDK to IoT Hub. Thanks. Guy

The connection strings system is pretty much useful as they are with IoT hubs in many cases. Below link is a sample Java application that you can also use to connect to IoT hubs.
