HOW TO: Control Multicam Logger with the REST API

Enable HTTP Remote Control

First you need to make sure that you have allowed Multicam Logger to be controlled remotely using the REST API. For this make sure that the following checkbox is enabled:

Retrieve the API from the application

Then the best way to get the most up to date documentation for the Multicam Logger REST API is to start the Multicam Logger application on a Mac, and then simply type in a browser on that Mac:

http://localhost:8888/api.html

This will return a page with all the explanations. But just if it's easier for you, we have attached a pdf document with the different calls available at the time of writing. (Things may be different with your version of Multicam Logger).

Add markers from a web page

Using our REST API, you can create a web page that will allow you to add markers from a web page. But we also provide a sample page to get you started. You can already add markers using a web page that Multicam Logger provides. Type something like this:

http://localhost:8888/markers.html

This will return a page where you can add markers. At the bottom of the page, you will see instructions on how to use the page.
