Hi,
I am using some dragino sensors and for the testing period I have used TTN and Thingspeak. The TTN to thingspeak integration was straigthforward as there are plenty of guides out there. However, the sensor will be running in an environment where I can not install a gateway and I will have to rely on a private LoRaWAN network. I would still like to use thigspeak as my endpoint for the data, and the company has requested documentation to configure endpoint URL and authorization header. They have no other inputs they can configure.
I am a newbie in all of this and I was wondering if you can point me in rigth direction. Is there any documentation available on how to configure a lowrawan server to send the data to my thingspeak channels? For each of these channels I have a write channel feed link, which I am guessing would be the authorisation header? What should I use for the enpoint URL?
Many thanks.

Does your LORAwan server also have an HTTP connection? Often there is a packet forwarding capability, that receives LORA and forwards HTTP. Will yours have that capability?
Thank you Christopher,
Yes it does.
Fantastic! Then you can use the write API to write the data from your devices to your ThingSpeak channels.
Im curious, can you share anything about the LoraWan hardware you are using?
Yes, thank you, That works. I am getting data to thingspeak althoug I have to figure out how to decode the payloads or if I am even getting the payloads. The decoding was done in TTN when I had a trial before, so the channels were configured in thingspeak for that purpose.
In regards to the LoRaWan hardware, I am afraid I can't be of any use. The server, gateways, towers etc are owned by the company I am relying on for coverage.
