ThingWorx Analytics APIs are available as services on a series of ThingWorx Foundation Things. Each Thing represents a connected microservice that is part of a given ThingWorx Analytics Server deployment. The microservice Things are each auto-generated from Thing Templates that are provided with the ThingWorx Core installation. The hierarchy of these Thing Templates informs which services are available to each connected microservice.

The diagram below shows the hierarchical structure of the Thing Templates and the corresponding Things that use them. The ThingWorx Analytics API documentation provides descriptions of the service parameters and results, including inherited services, for each Thing Template. The API documentation also includes information about the Data Shapes used by the service parameters and results.
