# Uplink Data Format V2

{% hint style="success" %}
**Best for Cloud to Cloud transfers**
{% endhint %}

AlphaX expects a JSON formatted object with the following key:value pair format, and populated with the following data types.

```json
{
  token : string; // conduit token from AlphaX Cloud
  networkId : string; // unique identifier on the network
  timestamp : integer; // 13 digit UTC timestamp
  data : array of objects // array of objects as defined below
}
```

#### Formatting the Data Array

The data array should be an array of Objects that are configured in the following key:value pair format:

```json
data: [
 {
  channelId : integer; // the channel identifier for the value
  value : number; // the value of the data (16 digit maximum length)
  }
 ]
```

**Example of complete data packet**

```json
{
 "token": "5b131223c67e7abcd81b0617",
 "networkId": "70B3D32111BD648F7",
 "timestamp": 1660962091000,
 "data": [
  {
   "channelId": 1,
   "value": 462.467835
   },
   {
   "channelId": 255,
   "value": 3.976
   }
  ]
 }
```

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** AlphaX has several reserved channels. These are outlined in the channel plan help article. Please ensure that channel ID’s are correctly mapped to these channel numbers to take advantage of features such as battery life predictions and auto Geo-Location of devices.
