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...

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?

Hello VoiceOfSoftware!
Thanks for your earlier post. I will be trying it out just to learn and have a little fun.
Indeed the administrator might have removed it for the reasons that you alluded to. If they did though, it would be just common courtesy to let you know that they did remove it and why.
I can understand a company not wanting to encourage the use of undocumented interfaces. Any future changes to the i/f, which could happen in newer versions of the product, might break customer tools. If the i/f is documented then the company would have to spend resources communicating said changes to customers. If the i/f is not documented, then customers who figured it out and used it anyway might be a bit upset if their tools break, though use of undocumented i/f's is a "use at your own risk" sort of thing.
Anyway, I appreciate your earlier posting.
Thanks,
Vic
