API Reference
Introduction
signageOS provides you with two API sets:
- REST API for device management and monitoring
- JS SDK for building your Applet
REST API
Every device management feature which is available in the signageOS device management console Box is also available through REST API. In fact, signageOS designs all features as API-first.
JS SDK
If you are building an Applet (Universal HTML5 App for digital signage or kiosk) or creating a widget for the signageOS SMIL Player, you can use unified and standardized Javascript SDK which works across all devices signageOS supports.
Javascript SDK gives you access to devices' native functions like a full-featured filesystem, accelerated video playback, peripherals (printers), and sensors. Develop once, deploy anywhere.
