ESP8266: ThingSpeak and WebServer integration - bugs in the code

Hello, I have been playing around with ESP for a while now. I have made a weather station with a PM and temperature sensor. The data is displayed on a web server, and I would like to add a ThingSpeak option, but I can't make sense of it. I have a few questions about this because yes:

I add these two functions to the ThingSpeak settings
.
Earlier in the program I have to run a web server:
.
I think that this cannot be the case, therefore at api.thingspeak.com I change the name to server1

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Then I have a problem with the cliente. Because I use the command for the server:
.
And for ThigSpeak:
.
And it still doesn't send me data to ThingSpeak. Can the client be connected to the web server and the ThingSpeak server at the same time? Or do I have to create a second client?



I am a beginner so please understand

They are two different things, once ESP is serving its server client, once it is a server client, e.g. thinkspeak. When you connect to thikspeak you have to use post or get, I prefer get, e.g.:

.
Same with post:
.

But if at the beginning of the program I have created
.
And then:
.
This in the function of the one from you:
.
I don't need to give a different name to this client?

You don't have to make the client global, you create it in a function, send the data, terminate the function and release the memory.

Super. Only if I already have this client globally created? Won't it clash?

Compile it and you'll find out, after all the Arduino IDE won't burst laughing in your face. As far as I know it won't bite, the local variable will be used without affecting the global one. But then why do you need a global one?

To the web server. Here I will use locally. Will test it today I will let you know in the evening. Thank you for your help

Unfortunately an error:

Quote:

'sent' was not declared in this scope

.
I don't really know where to declare this and what it is for

I tried the get method. But unfortunately it doesn't work either. I get a response:
.
I don't get the message : Serial.println("Connected to Thinkspeak ");
So it doesn't connect to the server.

"sent" is some numeric global variable counting the number of attempts to send messages on thinkspeak, just throw it away.
Here:
.
also appears a global variable, you had your analogue like this.
If the if doesn't work, it means it didn't connect to the server, you can add an else to the if and print information about it. I actually had the module in a gazebo in the garden and printing that something went wrong was of little importance to me.
You need to be connected to WIFI, have an IP address assigned, etc. before you can send anything.
.

Similarly, for testing, add an else with a printout that it is not connected to Wifi.
From the function with "post" remove sleep, in my case it was running on a battery and embracing it is also a separate story.
