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...
Yup, that looks like what I found by using Charles proxy and listening in from iPhone
I appologize for what is likely an idiotic question, but... I'd like to get the API access sorted out before I commit to buying a handful of the Canvas IIs -
Looking at the postman docs for the REST API, it looks perfectly lovely to use, but... what is the API_ORIGIN and VERSION? (I understand what these are, but...) I'm assuming the endpoint (API_ORIGIN) would be my.meural.netgear.com, but what I'm assuming is a valid request just gets me 404 responses.
For all I know, each canvas is running a web server and is the actual endpoint (this doesn't make much sense given the functions in the API, but...)
This might be entirely obvious if I actually had a Meural, but my use case requires 3, and I don't want to drop that kind of money without at least having some clue the API is going to work.
Thanks for your time and any assistance,

The base URL https://api.meural.com
You can see source code for an example written in Node.js at https://github.com/evantahler/tweet2meural
It would be nice if Netgear would open up Meural to IFTTT.
I'd like to trigger a specific playlist based on an action - for example, if I start watching a movie, I'd like my meural to start playing my "movies" playlist.
If it's raining outside, I'd like my Meural to show my "rain" playlist, etc.
It would make the Meural so much more interactive.
Don't ask for IFTT support.
Ask for the API to be publicly documented and supported.
Then anyone can create anything they like - including IFTT support. But more importantly anything else anyone can imagine and code up. Like connections to Apple or Google Photos albums. Or from Facebook albums. Or one click upload from Unsplash.
