I need to send an entire JSON to my channel on thingspeak, but I do not know how to do that. Just make use of the POST method?

You can update a channel with GET or POST. Have a look at the documentation for Write Data. You can send a JSON object to a single field, or you can write it to multiple fields. Each field has a 255 character limit. You may have to reformat your JSON object to get it in the correct format if you are writing multiple fields at once using this method.

You can also update with many entries at the same time using the bulk write method for JSON data.

Here is a sample JSON POST to the update endpoint.

POST /update.json HTTP/1.1
Host: api.thingspeak.com
Content-Type: application/json

{
"api_key": "CHANNEL_WRITE_API_KEY",
"created_at": "18-04-23 23:25:21 +0200",
"field1": "avalue",
"field3": 61,
"field4": 52,
"field5": 43,
"latitude": "-4",
"longitude": "2.2",
"status": "Perfect"
}
