8 days ago by Darrell Malone

New Endpoints

The following resources have been added to the Eagle Eye API.

Switch Action

You can now use the API to perform actions on a specific switch. Currently, only the reboot action is supported.

/switches/{switchId}/actions 

curl --request POST \
     --url https://api.cxxx.eagleeyenetworks.com/api/v3.0/switches/10058b7a/actions \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '{"action":"reboot"}'

using RestSharp;


var options = new RestClientOptions("https://api.cxxx.eagleeyenetworks.com/api/v3.0/switches/10058b7a/actions");
var client = new RestClient(options);
var request = new RestRequest("");
request.AddHeader("accept", "application/json");
request.AddJsonBody("{\"action\":\"reboot\"}", false);
var response = await client.PostAsync(request);

Console.WriteLine("{0}", response.Content);


import requests

url = "https://api.cxxx.eagleeyenetworks.com/api/v3.0/switches/10058b7a/actions"

payload = { "action": "reboot" }
headers = {
    "accept": "application/json",
    "content-type": "application/json"
}

response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)

print(response.text)

const url = 'https://api.cxxx.eagleeyenetworks.com/api/v3.0/switches/10058b7a/actions';
const options = {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {accept: 'application/json', 'content-type': 'application/json'},
  body: JSON.stringify({action: 'reboot'})
};

fetch(url, options)
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(json => console.log(json))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));

Updated Endpoints

The following Eagle Eye API resources have been updated.

Automations

New Alert Action: EBÜS

For our German-speaking customers, A new Alert action has been added to allow notifications through the EBÜS alarm receiving center software. This action can be configured by sending a POST request to the /alertActions endpoint.

Alert Conditions: Cooldown Timers

Cooldown timers can now be set for Alert Conditions. Once an alert condition is triggered, any additional alerts will be suppressed until the cooldown period expires. In addition, a default cooldown time of 10 seconds will be applied to all new alert conditions.

POST - /eventAlertConditionRules

Video Search

Person Detection: Secondary Clothing Colors

Person detection events may now classify the secondary color of the detected person's clothing.

Vehicle Detection: Display Ready Body Type

Vehicle Detection events will now include a UI ready display name for the body type of the vehicle
