How to send POST or GET to control blink(1)? about blink1 HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi,

Could you provide more details? What application are you using to control blink(1)? There are many.

If this is about Blink1Control2, please file an issue in the Blink1Control2 repo.

If this is about blink1-tool, please file an issue in the blink1-tool repo.

If this is a general query, there are many ways to control blink(1) with HTTP requests. One way is with the blink1-tiny-server command-line program that's part of the blink1-tool repo. Another way is with the built-in HTTP REST API that's part of Blink1Control2 desktop app.

If you prefer NodeJs, you can try node-blink1-server. Many blink(1) customers write their own HTTP-to-blink(1) gateway using the language of their choice and the corresponding blink(1) API.

Thanks for the quick reply! I'm using Blink1Control2 with the API server turned on.

I am using Postman to test the POST Request which fails. I get a response from a GET request, however.

I am able to change the light with the Curl commands that are documented.

Solved my own problem by using GET. Thanks anyway!
