Upload iAPS to Nightscout Pro

Use this guide for an already working iAPS installation. The old Dexcom/Libre route choices identify the user’s source; they do not guarantee iAPS compatibility with every sensor or region.

Connect

  1. Copy your complete Nightscout HTTPS URL and API Secret from Pro Site Settings.
  2. Open iAPS Settings → Services → Nightscout.
  3. Enter the HTTPS URL and API Secret in their separate fields.
  4. Enable Allow uploads so iAPS can send its available data, predictions and settings.
  5. Compare a new glucose reading and an existing expected treatment in Nightscout. Check uploaded profile/status timestamps separately.

Do not paste the account-portal URL, Pro password or xDrip-specific /api/v1/ Base URL into iAPS.

If connection fails

Copy the exact error. Test whether the same site opens over HTTPS in a browser, verify the complete hostname and check the API Secret. TLS/certificate/host errors can have network or server causes; they are not always caused by a typo or special character. Do not disable secure connections.

If the same failure persists, provide support the app/version, last working time and completed checks. Do not activate an override to refresh a profile, reinstall your APS or alter therapy settings as a generic connection fix.

The upstream iAPS documentation describes itself as incomplete; use its community for app-specific configuration beyond this Nightscout connection.
