Hello Everyone, It’s been like decades since I did some questions and answers session. However, things have been great, been busy trying to get the decision makers buy into my solutions. I finally got an audience with a greater task not anticipated. I want to overlay sensor data on VR, basically for a more user experience. Ordinarily, I could use the usual HTTP web server, but for data security we all know its not safe. Since there is some sort of security associated with this platform. I am excited to know how. To expatiate my point, imagine the scenario where I have successfully built my IoT devices and integrated them on the Losant dashboard and found to be communicating correctly with the platform; is there a way I could fetch these same raw JSON datas (through an exposed method) already on display to populate my VR display? Is there an API I could use for this backend data fetch such that only user with the authentication key and secret key can have access to these datas, which is myself ? Your response would be of great help. Anticipating your kind response. Regards ---

Hi @Sunday_Ajiroghene, I just want to clear this question up so that I understand the question 😄 Are you hoping to retrieve JSON data from Losant and send it to another platform/application? And are you looking for the most secure way to do so? Thanks! Julia ---

@JuliaKempf, no, not to send to another platform, but to populate a 3D model I created using Unity Software. A virtual reality graphics which represents a real life scanario. Meaning, yes I want to retrieve JSON data from the platform. I want a situation where, if I press a button from the VR simulated environment, it should activate real life switch. I have figured out how to do this in real time without using losant but data security can’t be guaranteed. Since, losant solves security issue, I want to register every activities in the losant platform for real time monitoring, while I make my control from the game like model. Of course when for instance, I turn on a light 💡, bulb in the VR would be seen ON. I sure would pay for every data passing through the losant platform once deployed. Do you get my point? Meanwhile, do you think of a better way out? Regards, Sunny ---

Hi @Sunday_Ajiroghene! Yes, everything your talking about above is exactly what [Losant Experiences](https://docs.losant.com/experiences/overview/) allow you to do. With it, you can expose a custom API into your IoT data. Here are some things you should check out: > **[Experiences](https://docs.losant.com/experiences/overview/)** > > Learn more about creating end user experiences in the Losant platform. > **[API Walkthrough](https://docs.losant.com/experiences/walkthrough/overview/)** > > Follow along as we build a custom API in a Losant Experience. ---
