Web Call Server uses two URLs for REST API
HTTP | HTTPS |
---|---|
http://host:8081/rest-api | https://host:8444/rest-api |
To invoke the REST API, you have to make request using the following format:
By default, server accepts REST HTTP requests on 8081 TCP port and REST HTTPS requests on 8444 TCP port. Those values are defined with the following settings in flashphoner.properties file
http.port=8081 https.port=8444 |
REST API requests are handled without user authorization by default. HTTP basic authorization may be enabled with the following parameter in flashphoner.properties file if necessary
disable_rest_auth=false |
When authorization is enabled, REST API users are managed from WCS core CLI.
Cross-domain request are managed with the following settings in flashphoner.properties file
rest_access_control_allow_origin=* rest_access_control_allow_headers=content-type,x-requested-with rest_access_control_allow_methods=POST |
By default, cross-domain requests from any address are allowed, to make port redirection work.
For testing purpose you can use a REST client. I.e. Advanced REST Console for browser Google Chrome.
On the screenshot below you can see how to get list of streams by REST API using REST method /stream/find_all
