If you log into emoncms.  Click on Input and then click on the "Input Api Help"  scroll down to the bottom and you'll see the answers.

Do anyone know if there are a way to get the Input-ID -> http://emoncms.org/input/list.json

are there other ways to create Feeds automatic with URL calls -> http://emoncms.org/input/process/add.json?inputid=1&processid=1&arg=-1&newfeedname=power

All the "Input process actions" specifyed in "Input Api Help" need the Inputid, and thats why I need it ..

I can use the "list.json" function, but then I get ALL input information, and I have to find the correct inputid in there..

My plan is also to use the "add.json" function to create my Feeds, but again I need the inputid

So are the only way to get a "inputid" by using "list.json" function ? 

You can read the inputid with an python script like this:

#!/usr/bin/python

import urllib
response=urllib.urlopen('http://yyyyyyyyyy/emoncms/input/list.json&apikey=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX')

print response.read()

where: 

yyyyyyyyyy is IP from emoncms server

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is apikey
