is there an API for meural canvas?
Hi, Is there an API (preferrably a REST API) that allows me to control the canvas independently of a could service, and better integrate my picture collection on my NAS ? Thanks for a hi...
Hello goll,
Thank you for the question. No, unfortunately there is not any additional options to control the Meural Canvas. The only application that works is the Meural app found in any online smartphone store.

Hi,
Would you please ask the development team/product manager to consider producing an API available to product users?
As stated by the originator of this thread, "goll" I think, that would allow people who use the Canvas II to display our own photographs, and I am one of those people, to more easily integrate the Canvas II with our photo collections. The current process of using the Meural app or the Netgear Meural web portal works but is best when dealing with a few photos. When dealing with lots of photos, it can be cumbersome.
I'm just speculating but the current Canvas II supporting architect may already have libraries underneath it, possibly in the form of APIs. It might not take too much effort to put a wrapper around the existing core libraries that you use internally, and expose that wrapper interface to the user community.
Thanks!

Hello Vic,
Thank you for the feedback. We will be sure to pass your suggestion on to the product manager and Mueral team. Perhaps this is something that could be implemented in a future update.

goll I was able to figure out some nice simple REST API calls by examining network traffic, and I posted them here last night, but my message disappeared. Perhaps Netgear doesn't want people to know about this?
I second this request. I am considering putting Meurals up in my company's customer briefing centers, and I want an API to switch photos automatically before customers arrive. It would be far too dificult to coordinate this manually worldwide, so I want our enterprise software to automate the process. We give 3000 briefings per year, so it would be a nightmare without an API
