Configure your uploader

Before changing anything

Confirm the source app/cloud has fresh readings. Copy your complete Nightscout HTTPS URL from your account. For app uploaders, obtain the required API Secret or token from Site Settings/Nightscout Admin Tools; your portal password is not the uploader credential.

Pick the exact guide

  • xDrip+ Android: credential inside a REST Base URL.
  • xDrip4iOS: separate URL and authentication settings.
  • Loop, Trio, iAPS: app Nightscout service.
  • AAPS: different authentication for original NSClient and NSClientV3.
  • Pro Connect: source-cloud credentials in the hosting portal.

Verify and finish

Save once. Compare a newly produced source reading and its timestamp in Nightscout, then verify the data types your route supports. Add followers only after the site receives data. Keep your existing source until a migration is verified, but avoid simultaneous uploads of the same stream to the same destination.

If the connection test fails, record the exact error and app version. Do not change insulin settings or disable HTTPS to get past an error. Collect details once for support.
