Systems and Methods disclosed herein relate to providing a message to an application programming interface (API). The message includes a request for data from a data model, a submission of data to the data model, or both; and a host selection between: a representational state transfer (REST) host and a subscription-based application programming interface (API) host, wherein the REST host receives REST-based messages and the subscription-based API host receives messages in accordance with a standard of the subscription-based API host; wherein the request for data, the submission of data, or both are configured to create, delete, modify, or any combination thereof data related to a smart-device environment structure, a thermostat, a hazard detector, or any combination thereof stored in a data model accessible by the API.

Methods and apparatus for using smart environment devices via application program interfaces

Systems and Methods disclosed herein relate to an application programming interface (API) server that receives, from an API client device connected to the system, one or more requests to perform an activity. The activity includes reading, editing by making additions, deletions, modifications or any combination thereof, or both reading and editing, to at least one portion of a data model comprising information related to one or more smart-devices, one or more smart-device environment structures comprising the smart-devices, or both; perform the activity based upon the one or more requests; log the activity, by storing a responsible party for the activity, based upon a vendor, user, or other party or entity associated with the API client device; and present at least a portion of the log.

Systems and methods for providing enhancement of upload and/or download performance based on client and/or server feedback information are disclosed. In one embodiment, the disclosed method optimizes upload performance by performing an upload speed test to measure an upload speed associated with each of multiple servers. The method detects a user request to upload a file from a client device to a host server. Based on results from the upload speed test, the method selects one of the multiple servers to upload the file. The multiple servers can include host servers providing cloud-based collaboration and/or storage services, one or more content delivery network servers and/or geographically distributed edge servers.

Enhancement of upload and/or download performance based on client and/or server feedback information

Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for upload and/or download streaming encryption to/from an online service, or cloud-based platform or environment. The encryption process includes the following parts: Upload encryption, download decryption, and a central piece of infrastructure called the Interval Key Server (IKS). During both upload and download, the encryption and decryption processes are performed while the files are being uploaded/downloaded, (e.g., the files are being encrypted/decrypted as they are being streamed).

Upload and download streaming encryption to/from a cloud-based platform

Systems and methods of batch uploading of content to a web-based collaboration environment are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, for receiving an upload request from a user through a user interface to upload multiple items and sequentially uploading each of the multiple items to the host server. In one embodiment, the user is able to navigate away from the user interface through which the upload request was submitted prior to completion of the uploading of each of the multiple items to the host server. In addition, the upload of the multiple items is not interrupted if the user accesses a link on the user interface causing another user interface to launch in a browser.

Batch uploading of content to a web-based collaboration environment

Systems and methods for providing enhancement of upload and/or download performance based on client and/or server feedback information are disclosed. In an embodiment, the disclosed method detects that a data transfer event is about to occur and based on a set of characteristics associated with the data transfer event, selects a host from a group of hosts as a pathway for transferring data associated with the data transfer event to optimize data transfer performance. The group of hosts can include a server providing cloud-based collaboration and/or storage services, one or more content delivery network servers and/or geographically distributed edge servers.
