Hello all,
a quick introduction to the Poly G7500 Command-Line API Reference Guide or the Poly G7500 Command-Line API Reference Guide
Please always ensure you are using the latest >Poly VideoOS REST API< and/or >Poly Command-Line API< from the User and Administrator Documents >here<
If a UI is preferred a Tool like https://www.postman.com/ can be used. Instructions similar to this are >here<
Command-Line API
Enabling the Command Line access via Security > Access will either prompt you for the standard user name of the unit (factory default admin) using ssh and/or the password.
Using for example:
addrbook all
will return all the Speed Dials added to the system.
REST API
Based on the above REST API documentation in order to establish a session a user would initially login to the system:
curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -d "{\"user\": \"admin\",\"password\": \"123\"}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k https://192.168.0.9/rest/session
For the above, we use CURL as this can be used with Windows 10 MS-Dos and/or Linux machines.
- -k is being used to use HTTPs and trust the certificate of the Studio X and/or G7500
- -c is the instruction to write cookies to a file
-b is the instruction to read cookies from a file
For more details on cookies check >here< - Ensure you use the right Admin (example admin) user and password (example 123)
The reply includes the sessionId which we store in the cookie.txt
{"loginStatus":{"failedLogins":0,"isPasswordAgeLimitReached":false,"lastLoginClient":"127.0.0.1","lastLoginClientType":"WEB","lastLoginTime":1591786577000,"loginResult":"NOLOCKOUT"},"session":{"clientType":"WEB","creationTime":2688,"isAuthenticated":true,"isConnected":false,"isNew":true,"isStale":false,"location":"192.168.0.5","role":"ADMIN","sessionId":"PSVG+zUra9TcTFaKpvG0RUP6J6ITchMilk70Gc3k4Rydr0N6Uy","userId":"admin"},"success":true}
We can then continue to use this cookie.txt
# Netscape HTTP Cookie File
# https://curl.haxx.se/docs/http-cookies.html
# This file was generated by libcurl! Edit at your own risk.
#HttpOnly_192.168.0.9 FALSE / TRUE 0 session_id PSVG+zUra9TcTFaKpvG0RUP6J6ITchMilk70Gc3k4Rydr0N6Uy
to continue the session
curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -k https://192.168.0.9/rest/system
and the G7500 and/or Studio X will respond
{"build":"216109","buildType":"dev","hardwareVersion":"1","lanStatus":{"duplex":"FULL","speedMbps":1000,"state":"LAN_UP"},"model":"StudioX50","rebootNeeded":false,"serialNumber":"8L19445XXXXXX","softwareVersion":"3.1.1","state":"READY","systemName":"BaierSteffenGSeries","systemTime":1591789081000,"timeOffset":10800000,"timeServerState":"TIMESERVER_UP","uptime":2689.95}
Reboot a Studio X or G7500:
curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -X POST -d "{\"user\": \"admin\",\"password\": \"123\"}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k https://10.252.149.104/rest/session
curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -H "Content-Type: application/JSON" -k https://10.252.149.104/rest/system/reboot -d "{\"action\": \"reboot\"}"
Disable the Wireless advertisement of MiraCast and/or Airplay:
1st we check the current setting
curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -d "{\"user\": \"admin\",\"password\": \"626DFB\"}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k https://10.252.149.104/rest/session
curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k https://10.252.149.104/rest/config -d "{\"names\": [\"system.network.wireless.wifi.enabled\"]}"
The system will respond with
{"vars":[{"name":"system.network.wireless.wifi.enabled","result":"NOERROR","value":"True","isEditable":true,"isHidden":false,"isSecure":false}]}
In the above case the Wireless in Security - Wireless Security is enabled.
We can then also check the Miracast
curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k https://10.252.149.104/rest/config -d "{\"names\": [\"cast.miracast.enabled\"]}"
{"vars":[{"name":"cast.miracast.enabled","result":"NOERROR","value":"True","isEditable":false,"isHidden":false,"isSecure":false}]}
and/or Airplay state
curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k https://10.252.149.104/rest/config -d "{\"names\": [\"cast.airplay.enabled\"]}"
{"vars":[{"name":"cast.airplay.enabled","result":"NOERROR","value":"True","isEditable":true,"isHidden":false,"isSecure":false}]}
or Bluetooth
curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -d "{\"user\": \"admin\",\"password\": \"626DFB\"}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k https://10.252.149.104/rest/session
curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k https://10.252.149.104/rest/config -d "{\"names\": [\"system.network.wireless.bt.enabled\"]}"
{"vars":[{"name":"system.network.wireless.bt.enabled","result":"NOERROR","value":"True","isEditable":true,"isHidden":false,"isSecure":false}]}
In order to disable all broadcasting WiFi and Bluetooth for example in Partner Modes simply set all to False:
curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -d "{\"user\": \"admin\",\"password\": \"626DFB\"}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k https://10.252.149.104/rest/session
curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k https://10.252.149.104/rest/config -d "{\"names\": [\"system.network.wireless.wifi.enabled\"]}"
curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k https://10.252.149.104/rest/config -d "{\"names\": [\"system.network.wireless.bt.enabled\"]}"
curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k https://10.252.149.104/rest/config -d "{\"vars\":[{\"name\":\"cast.airplay.enabled\",\"value\":\"False\"}]}
curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k https://10.252.149.104/rest/config -d "{\"vars\":[{\"name\":\"cast.miracast.enabled\",\"value\":\"False\"}]}
curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k https://10.252.149.104/rest/config -d "{\"vars\":[{\"name\":\"system.network.wireless.bt.enabled\",\"value\":\"False\"}]}
