Telstra WIFI API Consumer on Pivotal Cloud Foundry

If you heard of Telstra WIFI API you will know it will allow you to search for WIFI Hotspots within a given radius and can be used after signing in for Telstra.dev account at https://dev.telstra.com/ to obtain the Hotpots within a given Radius and Lat/Long location.

The WIFI API for Telstra is described at the link below.

The following application I built on Pivotal Cloud Foundry consumes this Telstra WIFI API service and using the Google Map API along with Spring Boot will show you all the WIFI Hotspots Telstra provides from a mobile device or a Web Browser at your current location. The live URL is as follows. You will need to agree to share your location and enable Location services from your browser when on a mobile device for the MAP to be of any use. Lastly this is only useful within Australia of course.

Integrating Telstra Public WIFI API into Bluemix

I previously blogged about Integrating Telstra Public SMS Api as shown below.

Here I show how I integrated Telstra Public WIFI Api into IBM Bluemix. This Api from Telstra is documented as follows. You need to register on http://t.dev to get the credentials to use thier API which I have previously done which then enables me to integrate it onto Bluemix

Once again here is the Api Within the Bluemix Catalog, these screen shots show the Api has been added to the Bluemix Catalog which can then be consumed as a service.

Finally here is a Web based application using Bootstrap so it renders quite well on mobile devices as well which allows you to enter your Latitidue, Longitude and Radius to find Telstra WIFI Hotspots using the Telstra WIFI Api on IBM Bluemix
