I've created a new channel with two fields, field1=temp, field2=humidity. I'm trying to do either a bulk_update.json and update both fields at once (with the intention of queing data and updating a few datapoints at once, or using update.json and updating both fields at once for the channel every so many seconds.
I keep getting an error code returned in the JSON response, and the feeds never update. I also have tried pasting a URL for writing to one field and it returns "0". The fields in the channel never update.
My account is said to be a Free account, and it says I have 3,000,000 messages remaining, but the response error I get tells me I've exceeded the message limit for the ThingSpeak license and I need to upgrade my acount??? Why is this happening when my account says I haven't written one data point yet. I'm trying to write every 20 seconds to avoid the 15 second limit for the free account.
Trying to test this service to see if I may want to upgrade to a Home account…
