Action API

Overview

The Action API allows you to control the behavior of indi-allsky via HTTP POST requests.

Most actions are asynchronous, therefore, when the HTTP request is finished, that does NOT mean the action has fully completed. The action may require 1-3 minutes to complete.

Data format

Data must be posted in JSON format with the username and password attributes

{
  "username" : "foo",
  "password" : "bar"
}

curl example

curl \
  --insecure \
  --include \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --request POST \
  --data '{"username": "foo", "password": "bar"}' \
  https://localhost/indi-allsky/action/pause
