Web API

Gizmo's WEB API Is a REST API implementation. Basic goal is to allow Gizmo functionality to be extended and provide means for Server and Client control, monitoring etc.

First action required is to enable the WEB API in server settings.

WEB API can be enabled in server settings menu under general options.

A valid port must be specified (default 8080).

Note: Make sure no other application or service on Gizmo Server pc is using chosen port , otherwise WEB API will fail to start.

You can get a list of supported commands and theirs documentation by navigating to the root/index page with your web browser. Depending on the WEB API port specified in settings the WEB API documentation can be accessed by navigating to URL

http{s if ssl is enabled}://{Server IP or Host Name}:{WEB API Port}

Note: If WEB API port is set to 80 then you don’t need to specify port in the WEB API address URL.

The current authentication scheme used by Gizmo is HTTP Basic.

Valid operator credentials must be specified with each and every call to the WEB API.

You can call and execute WEB API commands either from your WEB Browser or with most REST Clients such as http://restclient.net/
