# Migrate from AWS Lookout for Equipment

> Move from AWS Lookout to Canary Edge

AWS Lookout for Equipment retires **October 7, 2026**. Canary Edge handles the same industrial time-series anomaly detection workloads with a simpler API.

## Key Differences

| AWS Lookout                              | Canary Edge                          |
| ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| Requires model training before detection | Works immediately with generic model |
| S3 bucket for data ingestion             | Direct API call with JSON payload    |
| Async inference scheduling               | Synchronous real-time detection      |
| AWS-only deployment                      | Cloud-agnostic API                   |

## Migration Steps

### 1. Export Your Data

Export your sensor data from S3 into timestamp/value pairs:

```python theme={null}
import boto3
import json

s3 = boto3.client("s3")
obj = s3.get_object(Bucket="your-bucket", Key="sensor-data/pump-1.csv")
# Convert to Canary Edge format
```

### 2. Call the Canary Edge API

```python theme={null}
import requests

series = [
    {"timestamp": "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z", "value": reading}
    for reading in your_sensor_readings
]

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.canaryedge.com/v1/timeseries/entire/detect",
    headers={
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    },
    json={
        "series": series,
        "granularity": "minutely",
        "sensitivity": 75,
    },
)
```

### 3. Optional: Fine-Tune for Your Equipment

For equipment-specific accuracy, fine-tune a model with historical normal data:

```python theme={null}
requests.post(
    "https://api.canaryedge.com/v1/train",
    headers={
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    },
    json={
        "machine_id": "pump-1",
        "series": normal_operation_data,
    },
)
```

Future detection calls for `pump-1` will automatically use the fine-tuned model.
