Observation

POST /udl/rfobservation

Changed on

Service operation to take a single RF observation as a POST body and ingest into the database. This operation is not intended to be used for automated feeds into UDL. Data providers should contact the UDL team for specific role assignments and for instructions on setting up a permanent feed through an alternate mechanism.
