Hello,
it is planned to add IPv6 capability to ThingSpeak?
For several IOT protocolls that is necessary. Currently we want to connect 6LoWPAN nodes but can't because of the missing IPv6 compatibility.

Can you provide more documentation on the LoWPAN nodes? What specific IPv6 functionality are needed for you to use ThingSpeak with these nodes?

It sounds like you're using a ststic IP address in your nodes. Static IP is not recommended for a number of reasons. Would it not be possible to use the DNS resolver to resolve https://api.thingspeak.com?
Using the hostname is the recomended approach for both IPv4 and IPv6 edge nodes.

We'll look into adding the aaaa record for thingspeak.com and api.thingspeak.com. I'll post back on this thread when completed.
