Landroid-S lawn mower api term of use
-
Hi all.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but since iobroker has the best integration tool with Landroid-S, I hope than someone can answer.
I'm trying to find the terms of service of the Landroid-S lawn mowers api, but I can not find anything. In the german forums there are post about Worx complaining about the abuse of the api, but I dont understand German and even with google translate everything is very confusing to me.
So, my questions are:
Is there something "official" (from Worx) about the use of the api on api.landroidworx.com to get the user data (mower model, mac address, certificates...)? The iobridge source code is pretty clear about how it works, I'm talking about if it is ok to query it with your own code, or if there are some kind of restriction policies about it.
Is there a problem in talking mqtt directly with the amazon aws cloud (once you get the certificates, of course)? I'm thinking, for instance, in using a mosquitto bridge, or execute
mosquitto_pub -h amazonhost.com ...
scripts directly. I repeat I'm not asking about the technical part. I would like to know if there is recomendations from Worx company).Thank you guys for your incredible work. I'll try to learn some german... but you see I must finish my english first

The API is not official. The developer from worx can block it every second. But we had a conference with the developer from worx 2 years ago and they do not want to lose the smarthome user. So there is no Doku for the API. The most tools for example the desktop app from eisha and the iobroker module were discussed and approved from a developer from worx.

@Meistertr That might have changed as they blocked my IP. According to the helpdesk I'm using an unofficial app. Consequence is that I can't open the app (or iobroker) when on wifi p. Still works on 4G (different IP)

@Robert-Jan-Wonder I had the same issue. To much request causes the blocking. Stop all connections for 12 or 24 hours and your ip works again..

@Meistertr Great, will try that!

I can confirm that I can use the app again. Thanks!
