Enable the REST API, set an IP range and the server port, and test your API.
If either the start address or the end address is set to 0.0.0.0 or to 255.255.255.255, requests from all IP addresses will be accepted.
You can only use port numbers greater than 1024 with the exception of 3000, 8000, 8080, 8081, and the ports you have opened on the “Port” page.
If encryption is used, external REST API calls must ignore CA verification because the certificate is self-signed. For development purposes, we recommend to disable encryption.
If you have changed any settings, a “Save” button appears in the top right corner of the screen. You can make changes in multiple pages and then save your settings.
To reset all settings on the current page to the default configuration, select the “Reset” button at the bottom of the page.
If the API is running properly, a message with the following JSON string appears: {"err":false,"msg":"Test successful"}
.
If this message is not displayed, there may be a problem with your port settings. Make sure the API port you selected has not been set on the “Port” page.
To specify access restrictions for certain memory areas, go to the “Port” page.
