REW Rest API not in 5.30 build

[ewfwfewfwef]

Hi - I want to try out the REST api thats mentioned here in the beta documentation

betahelp/help_en-GB/html/api.html

but in testing the latest 5.30 build if I add the -api command line parameter it says "Api not supported in this build"

There does not seem to be any other beta builds available?

Am I missing something?

thanks

NB I couldnt paste full url but its www dot roomeqwizard dot com /betahelp/help_en-GB/html/api.html

 

[John Mulcahy]

There haven't been any public builds with the API yet.

 

[ewfwfewfwef]

Ah OK that makes sense then, do you know what the plans are on timescales for a build including them? Thanks

 

[John Mulcahy]

Pretty soon, maybe in the next few days.

 

[John Mulcahy]

API builds are now available.

 

[ewfwfewfwef]

@John Mulcahy thanks yes I have the api working - I only really wanted to be able to read the current SPL level (as shown in the SPL meter)

is it correct that you need a pro licence to read that?

I am doing a HTTP Post to /measure/command

{
"command": "SPL"
}

 

[John Mulcahy]

That's a command to make an SPL measurement sweep. There isn't an endpoint for the SPL meter yet, though you can access the raw input levels.

 

[ewfwfewfwef]

ah ok thanks - got that working - it only seems to send one event to the subscription

{"unit":"SPL","rms":[59.386411237528165],"peak":[66.70078580605418],"timeSpanSeconds":0.17066666666666666}

should it keep sending it periodically?

Also is an endpoint for the SPL meter planned?

 

[John Mulcahy]

Yes, there will be an endpoint for the SPL meter.

Per the help, if you don't acknowledge the subscription message the subscription will be cancelled.

 

[ewfwfewfwef]

yes I am sending a HTTP 200 but perhaps its in slightly the wrong format - I'll check in fiddler. thanks

 

[John Mulcahy]

The code is the only thing checked, any 2XX code will be accepted. Timeout for response is 1 second. I'll add error messages to the Application error log if a subscription is removed due to timeout or error.

 

[ewfwfewfwef]

thanks yes thats all working now.

 

[ewfwfewfwef]

do you know when the api is likely planned for the actual SPL meter?

 

[John Mulcahy]

Last Saturday, follow the API thread

 

[ewfwfewfwef]

ah sorry - will keep up to date on there. thanks
