Connect Nightscout

Connect your Nightscout site to SNAQ with its URL and API secret.

If you run your own Nightscout site, SNAQ can pull your glucose readings from it.

What you need

  • Your site URL. It’s the address you type into your browser to open Nightscout.
  • Your API secret. You set this password when you created your Nightscout site.
