Script need it

Hi could someone help me to write a script for me? I need to execute this via script.

Code: Select all

local http = require("socket.http")
local ltn12 = require("ltn12")

local path =  "http://IP:47147/api/v1/runactivity"
local payload = [[ {"activity_uuid":"CBD5ADC7-1E1A-4D28-AD0A-36518EE4785B"} ]]
local response_body = { }

local res, code, response_headers, status = http.request
{
   url = path,
   method = "POST",
   headers =
   {
     ["Content-Type"] = "application/json",
     ["Content-Length"] = payload:len()
   },
   source = ltn12.source.string(payload),
   sink = ltn12.sink.table(response_body)
}

It comes from Vera plus Luup code. Thanks in advance!

Can you explain what the script does and what you're trying to accomplish? It looks like you're grabbing data from an API, but I'm not clear on what you're doing with that data once you request it. This is usually very easy to do in Python.

(I don't know LUUP, and it's one of the reasons I left Vera.)

Hi I'm using a app called simple control remote for my AV equipment and it is compatible with Indigo server. The sinking of all devices is done from a Hub running on a Mac mini so basically with this script I need to send a comment to the Hub to start activity.watch TV. http://IP:47147/api/v1/runactivity"
{"activity_uuid":"CBD5ADC7-1E1A-4D28-AD0A-36518EE4785B"} I hope that helps. Thank you very much!

Code: Select all

import requests
payload = {"activity_uuid":"CBD5ADC7-1E1A-4D28-AD0A-36518EE4785B"}
requests.post("http://IP:47147/api/v1/runactivity", data=payload)


See? So much easier than LUUP.

Thank you very much for your help! But is not working!

Log output? Error messages?

Also, did you edit the script to put in the actual IP address of the device you're sending that to? You just had "IP" in the sample script. That needs to be changed to the actual IP address.

Hi thank you for your reply yes I did put the correct IP address, no error message!

I think maybe requests needs to be told the payload is json:

Code: Select all

 import requests
payload = {"activity_uuid":"CBD5ADC7-1E1A-4D28-AD0A-36518EE4785B"}
requests.post("http://IP:47147/api/v1/runactivity", json=payload)

note that the data parameter from the previous script was changed to json - that's the only change.

Thank you very much it works perfectly now! I really appreciate your help!
