Useful for calling HTTP APIs (e.g. AVer or BirdDog PTZ cameras) from open-stage-control.

/http/get

GET a url (optionally with Basic credentials).

Address	`/http/get`
First argument	url to GET - string (e.g. `http://google.com`)

osc-to-udp

Send OSC messages with structures outlined below to send UDP packets to local network addresses. Service listens for OSC on 9003 by default (configurable in config.json).

Useful for sending RS-232 (via an appropriate adapter) to Crestron, Bluestream, etc from open-stage-control.

/udp/byteArray/Uint8

Send a UDP packet containing an array of unsigned 8-bit integers to an address

Address	`/udp/byteArray/Uint8`
First argument	address - string (e.g. `localhost:8000`) (port must be specified)
Any remaining arguments	integers which will be sent in the UDP packet (e.g. `0x11`, `0xFF`, `1`, `255`, etc. These will be interpreted as unsigned 8-bit integers by the service All supplied arguments beyond the first will be used

osc-to-tcp

Send OSC messages with structures outlined below to send TCP messages to local network addresses. Service listens for OSC on 9003 by default (configurable in config.json).

Igloo Core Service opens a TCP socket to the target device, writes the desired message, then closes the socket.

Useful for controlling Crestron or Lightware devices from open-stage-control.

/tcp/string

Address

/tcp/string

First argument

address - string (e.g. localhost:8000) (port must be specified)

Any remaining arguments

Strings which will be written to the TCP socket.

To enable usage of this utility with telnet-style commands, these are sent as separate lines (e.g. each additional argument will be separated with \r\n, and \r\n will be appended to the last line).
