Command API

Solstice Pod URL: IPAddress/api/control

The Command API addresses runtime control of a Solstice Pod 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 is set. If an incorrect or no password is appended to the GET when one is needed, the command is ignored.

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