Hi there Arduino,
I'm pretty new to this but mainly I want to send data from Arduino to an API REST/SOAP online service.
What you recommend me to start with?
Thank you in advance!

I recommend you start by understanding how the service you want to access is intended to be used (this part does not involve Arduino) and then decide what sort of network interface you're going to give the Arduino. The main options are an Ethernet NIC, a WiFi NIC, or a 3/3G modem.
In your Profile page here there is a link to a page called temboo that makes it super easy for a new user to learn how that stuff works. There is a Choreo i use a lot that post data to a google spread sheet and it works great. There are lots of others out there but thats a good place to start.
@PeterH basically I have to check if there is any internet connection available and then maybe using the webclient to connect to the api
@drksam I created an account at temboo but I want to offer a free script (no requests limits) so anyone can store their data in their accounts automatically.
Is this the way to do it? WebClientRepeating

OK you can interface to lots of different services out there. Do you know which one you want to use already? Do you know where you want your data to go?
And I don't think the Google ones have limits at least iv not hit any yet and I send a fair lot of post ( like 75 - 125 a day to one spread sheet)
Yes I know, data will be stored using http://dasdata.co/api/
As I said I want to create an easy way to store and share datasets.
There are also some trends or you can embed to any other website or mobile interface

Looks easy enough usage should be very similar to other apis that there are arduino examples of.
Looking forward for the device to come next week and try it out
