JQuery API Airtime - Airtime Support Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

David Cunningham

Is there any JQuery calls that can check if my Airtime server is online and broadcasting, if it is online and broadcasting return a value of "True" if it is not return a value of "False", is there, if so can I please see some sample code?

Thanks!

Hi David, this feature is supported in the Airtime API, see

 public function onAirLightAction ()

in https://github.com/sourcefabric/Airtime/blob/master/airtime_mvc/application/controllers/ApiController.php

This part of the API requires authentication, please see /etc/airtime/api_client.cfg on the server for your autogenerated API key. Once you know that, you can get the on air status from a URL like this:

http://airtime.example.com/api/on-air-light/format/json/api_key/XXXXX

where airtime.example.com is your server and XXXXX is the key.

Cheers!

I would not recommend doing this across the public Internet because the API key is sent in plain text. But it should be OK on the same machine or across a trusted LAN.

Cheers!

There is a hosts setting for domains that can directly connect. Surely that is enough?

Daniel James

Or you have the option to use https: for the API request.

Cheers!

Howdy, Stranger!
