Command API

Solstice Host URL: IPAddress/api/control

The Command API addresses runtime control of a Solstice host from a third-party application. Commands are executed by issuing a GET to the URL that corresponds to the command to be executed. The Command API does not make use of the JSON key/value records as the other APIs do.

Security is enforced by requiring password authentication when an administrator password has been set. If an incorrect or no password is appended to the GET when one is needed, the command will be ignored.

The URLs for each of the commands and their effects are listed below:

Command URL List

/api/control/clear	Clears the display of all posts.
/api/control/boot	Boots all connected users and deletes all posts on the display. Returns display to splash-screen.
/api/control/reboot	Reboots host as soon as command is sent.
/api/control/restart	Restarts the Solstice software without rebooting the hardware.
/api/control/resetkey	Replace the current screen key with a new random screen key for connection authentication.
/api/control/suspend	Goes into power management mode and suspends the display.
