Larix Tuner is a solid way to control your Larix Broadcaster instances and we are continuously working on Tuner improvements.
Following the requests from our users, we now add another important functionality – the API.
REST API is a great way to communicate and control your Larix Broadcaster instances programmatically without web UI.
API capabilities
At the moment, REST API for Larix Tuner allows performing basic remote control:
- Get information about any devices in Tuner account.
- Start/stop/pause streaming process.
- Get current GPS location of the device.
For a device in remote control mode, you can define any of its settings. These are the parameters you may change in Tuner UI and in Larix Broadcaster Settings menu:
- Camera
- Video
- Audio
- Record
- Advanced
- Connections – getting the list, adding, removing etc.
- Talkback
- Overlays
- Widgets
With these calls you can have full control over the device’s behavior.
Please visit Larix Tuner API reference page for full list of methods.
Enabling API
In order to use the API, you need to get the API key and add the operator’s IP (where it’s a developer’s desktop or a server) into allow list for security purposes.
Tuner allows to add specific IP addresses to access your account via API. Currently, only 15000 calls are allowed in a day and you can set threshold alerts to get notified about going near the limit.
Click on Account top menu and click on API setup to get an IP list and an API key.
