Send Control command from Applescript

I have just started playing with Xcode using the Cocoa Applescript environment.

I have recently built a menu bar based app that gives me control of multiple apps and functions on my computer.
I was toying with the idea of adding some frequently used indigo commands, the computer running the app is not the same one running indigo server so I usually open the indigo web control page to send commands, is there a way of sending the commands from my menu bar app instead, maybe using a

Code: Select all

do shell script "curl -L " & "http://indigo.server.computer.:8176/commands/turn.light.on/etc/etc"

Code: Select all

or something similar

thanks

Check out the RESTful API.

[MODERATOR NOTE] Moved to the AppleScript forum since it's specifically a question about AppleScript.

Thanks Jay

I checked out the RESTful API and came up with this

Code: Select all

do shell script " curl -u username:password -L http://10.0.1.18:8176/devices/kitchen?isOn=0&_method=put"

For some reason the indigo log is stating access denied! Am I not sending the username and password correctly?

I believe you also need --digest to specify digest authentication.

Code: Select all

do shell script " curl -u username:password --digest -L http://10.0.1.18:8176/devices/kitchen?isOn=0&_method=put"

Hmm now the log is telling me it could not find device "Kitchen"

I know its there I just made a sandwich

I tried using the device ID and it still states it can't find it

The RESTful API doesn't use device IDs so you have to use the name. And they are case-sensitive.

Marvalous, works like a charm, thank you very much.
