Is there a Azure IOT Central C API?

Question

I am trying to interface with Azure IoT Central - I already have a subscription and whatnot. Does this exist? I am intending to get data from my Raspberry Pi and post it to Azure Iot Central.

I found the C API used to connect to Azure IoT Hub and managed to get it working successfully. But this is not what I am looking for since Azure IoT Central provides a very nice way to present the data collected from these tools.

I also found Python API https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-central/howto-connect-raspberry-pi-python. This is good but I was hoping for a C api for this. I'll be using the Python for now.

Okay - after some research, the same API can be used! The tricky part is to get the correct connection string. I tried to play around manually but it was not working. Luckily Microsoft supply a tool that allows you to generate a connection string.

Provide the correct data ScopeID, DeviceID and Primary key, get the connection string and use your already existing Azure IoT hub API.
