Choose the Gateway URL

For Ignition 8.3, use https://your-gateway.example/data and your complete Gateway API token. Ignition 8.1 uses /main/data and the token configured for Fluxy.

Create, write, and read the tag

Save this as hello_fluxy.py, replace the Gateway URL and token, then run python hello_fluxy.py.

import httpx
from fluxy import Fluxy

api_token = "fluxy-service:replace-with-your-secret"

with httpx.Client(
    headers={"X-Ignition-API-Token": api_token}
) as client:
    fx = Fluxy(
        "https://your-gateway.example/data",
        tag_provider="default",
        http_client=client,
    )

    tag_path = "[default]fluxy"
    fx.tag.configure(
        [
            {
                "name": "fluxy",
                "tagType": "AtomicTag",
                "valueSource": "memory",
                "dataType": "String",
                "value": "",
            }
        ],
        base_path="[default]",
        collision_policy="o",
    )

    fx.tag.write_blocking(tag_path, "Hello World")
    value = fx.tag.read_blocking(tag_path)
    print(value.value)
Expected output Hello World

Verify before installing

Ignition will ask you to trust a self-signed certificate for Green Pipe Partners, LLC. Match its SHA-256 fingerprint before accepting it.

Install

  1. Download only the artifact matching your Gateway's major version.
  2. Open the Gateway Modules page and choose Install or Upgrade a Module.
  3. Upload the .modl, review the MPL-2.0 license, and verify the certificate fingerprint above.
  4. Follow Ignition's restart instruction if the upgrade is staged for restart.

Do not enable unsigned modules. Fluxy Free still requires authenticated API credentials for every route. Follow the complete installation and Hello World guide.

Fluxy is independently distributed third-party software. It is not certified, approved, supported, or endorsed by Inductive Automation. Its module ID is partners.greenpipe.fluxy, using the partners.greenpipe prefix assigned by IA.
