Http Api Transaction - Brickcom CB-100A series User Manual

HTTP API Transaction

An HTTP API transaction is always started with a request from a client application, which is
received by the Web server on the IP Camera device and processed by the IP Camera and
finally ends with a response sent back to the requesting client.
The client HTTP request takes in either one of the two forms:

HTTP GET: Normally used to retrieve the settings or status of the IP Camera

HTTP POST: Normally used to configure the settings of the IP Camera
If the request is successfully received by the IP Camera, the response will contain a HTTP
header with a 200 OK response code and the HTTP body with the actual response data or
other value if error occurs. An example is provided for each request type below:
