API Polling

With the HTTPGET and HTTPPOST protocols, you can poll information from any Web or REST API that supports the GET or POST methods. That information can then be fed through a filter pack to turn it in to a message to your recipients and groups.

For instance, if you have a web resource that provides XML content, you can configure PageGate to poll for that XML content, then feed it through a filter pack to turn it in to a readable text message.

As an example, you can poll the Spillman CAD API for information to dispatch for first responders.

As another example, you can poll the National Weather Service for information on the weather in your local area, then send that weather information out as an SMS to your recipients and groups.
