API (URL Info?)

[arrmo]

Hi,

I'm trying to work on an interface to NextPVR ... and I see the new Swagger API, but I am looking at some (older?) other code to get an idea of how to interface - and seeing URL's that don't match Swagger, but perhaps another / older interface (but do still seem to work). Is there documentation on this anywhere?

For example, http://localhost:8866/service?method=rec...ing_id=902"

Thanks!

The API that uses the format /service?method=xxxxx.xxxxx is the API I created. It's used by the kodi addon and webclient. There is no documentation on this, but the kodi addon exists as a demonstration of how to use it.

The Swagger API is part of NEWA, created by UJB. It provides similar functions, but as a REST API. I think Emby uses this API, so you could probably look at this if you're looking for example code.

You can always ask if you have questions, and we'll get you an answer.

Hi,

Makes sense, and no issue at all. Will go find the code for the Kodi add-on, work through that. I'm not seeing some of the functions I need in the Swagger API, but I may just be missing it yet.

Thanks!

It depends on what you want to do, in .NET you can do almost anything that NextPVR can do. NEWA (JSON) and sub's web interface offer just a subset but API. The client source is here https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.nextpvr Kodi master is now on 16 though and pvr-nextpvr has not bee updated yet.

Thanks for the help - will go digging ... .

Much appreciated guys!

BTW, not sure what you mean by .NET. If you have a chance at some point, can you clarify? Not a biggie.

Thanks!

Pronounced dotnet You would probably want to use C# to access sub's major API.

Hi,

Makes sense, and I have used .NET before - just wasn't sure if there was some sort of library file that gets pulled in (to define structures, enum, etc.).

Thanks!

Hi,

Perhaps one more question here, as I'm having troubles finding the right info ... .

The example above returns some basic info on the recording, but I'd like to get the (local) file name ... is that possible (perhaps with a slightly different request)? Also, when I try to use a command to retrieve the file, it's missing the extension (which causes some grief). Is there a way to correct this (on my side)?

Thanks!

The .NET and JSON APIs both support that.
