Accessing weight data from containers

A container site refers to a site that a container is at. With this site, the current status of the container at that site such as weight can be queried.​

For information on what can be queried refer to the container site documentation

For more information on container sites visit here

Container sites have the ability to query for a field called allWeights that represents all weight measurements recorded between two time frames​

  • This is useful for keeping track of historical data and plotting data
  • allWeights returns an array of weight posts that are individual data points
  • allWeights requires two inputs; range and window
    • Range refers to a specific range in time to retrieve data from in the DateTime format
    • Window refers to the resolution of the data returned. That means allWeights will either return data for every hour or every day

Querying container weight example​

Using the query containerSiteByID

allWeights query
query ContainerSiteByID(
    $id: ID!,
    $range: DateRangeInput!,
    $window: Window!,
    $unit:WeightUnit!
    ) {
    containerSiteByID(id: $id) {
    	 allWeights(range: $range, window: $window) {
            __typename
            timestamp
            weight(unit: $unit)
            # Some 'weightPost' fields omitted for brevity
        }
    }
}

variables = {
    id: '435ncoia234cae45',
    range: {
        start: '2022-06-25T10:15:30Z',
        end: '2022-06-26T10:15:30Z'
    },
    window: 'DAY',
    unit: 'POUND'
}
