[SOLVED]REST API syntax for POST and PUT

[Paolino65 0]

Hi to all,

 

Sorry if I started a new discussion but I don't find information about my doubt.

 

My main need is to send some information from an external server to HC2 ... to a scena ... or a virtual device...

 

I try to call HC2 through API from another server using REST API but i cannot find the correct syntax to ... for examples "press a button " in a virtual devices...

 

There is someone that can help me?

 

 

Thanks a lot in advance 

Paolino

Thanks a lot for upper answer, 

but i don't understand how I can build the "body" when I use the PUT o POST options...where I can find the syntax ?

 

for example, if I want to push a button in a virtual device ... I need to invoke:

 

... /devices/{deviceID}/action/{actionName} and fill the body with the name of the button... 

 

my problem is to found the syntax for the body...

 

in the official documentation I don't find this information... 

 

thanks
