How to authorize for using the REST URL's

[vtmikel]

Hi all-

Is it possible to use the RESTful URL's for Indigo when there is a password set on the web server? If so, how would one send the credentials?

Thanks in advance.

Indigo uses http digest authentication so whatever you're using to call the RESTful URLs needs to do the authentication first.

Indigo uses http digest authentication so whatever you're using to call the RESTful URLs needs to do the authentication first.

And the unofficial Restful API wrapper I made supports authentication directly, so you might want to look into using it?

This is not affiliated with Perceptive Automation, but I feel that other programmers should not have to re-invent the wheel:

The Indigo Restful API, is a python wrapper that makes it easier to control Indigo through the IWS interface.

For example:

Indigo_server = indigo_restful_api.Indigo_Restful_Server ()
Indigo_server.set_server (r"http://192.168.1.110:8080" )
# Indigo_server.set_server_authentication ( "test", "test")
device_list = Indigo_server.get_device_list ()
for device in device_list:
device_information = Indigo_server.get_device_by_name ( device )

name = device_information["name"]
print name

Thanks! Good to know if and when I start getting into more python scripting. My question was because I was building a plugin for a program called Alfred to support Indigo workflows. I chose to write the plugin in bash script.
