Send Data to WordPress from kiosk

I need to get a data from kiosk (think specific ATM machine) to wordpress database. Kiosk service providers told me to give them Gateway URL and Request format to send data.

Im stuck on this, I dont know which WP API will be able to do it? What will be the gateway url and what request format will it be.

I just dont know where to start this from. I will need to receive the data, save it in DB and then display the data in custom plugin and run different functions on it. I know how to do all this functions once I receive the data, but Im stuck on the step where I need to give the Kiosk providers the instructions in what format to send data and what will be the gateway URL.

Can you help me with this please? Any directions, where to start and which API to use etc…

Thanks a lot in advance 🙂

Sounds like a perfect candidate for the WordPress REST API It’s getting integrated with core in 4.1 I think, but you can use it as a plugin for now.
