REST API
What is a REST API
The REST API is a JSON-RPC-compliant API that enables operations such as checking monitor information and switching inputs. It can be accessed via HTTP from external devices on the local network, allowing you to implement control using only the functions you need. It integrates easily with HTML5 and Android applications, enabling flexible operation tailored to your use cases and system configuration.
Features
HTTP-Based Control within a Local Network
Uses HTTP-based JSON-RPC, enabling access from web browsers, command lines, or various programming languages. Enables monitor control with minimal communication data and processing load.
Use Only the API Functions You Need
APIs are separated by function—such as power control, volume adjustment, and input switching—so you can implement only what you need. This allows for flexible and efficient operation based on your system configuration and use cases.
Easy Integration with Applications
By integrating with HTML5 and Android applications, you can place display control buttons in any custom UI. User interactions trigger commands that control the display.
Structure and Basic Specifications
This section covers basic API specifications and communication flow, including authentication levels, access control configuration, and communication considerations. Understanding the overall structure enables effective implementation and operational design.
How to Set Up and Use
This section explains the basic operations and procedures for using the REST API, as well as the monitor settings required in advance. This guide helps you smoothly prepare for API implementation, from initial setup to starting API operations.
