title: Custom API
|
|
description: Custom Widget Configuration from the API
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
This widget can show information from custom self-hosted or third party API.
|
|
|
|
Fields need to be defined in the `mappings` section YAML object to correlate with the value in the APIs JSON object. Final field definition needs to be the key with the desired value information.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
widget:
|
|
type: customapi
|
|
url: http://custom.api.host.or.ip:port/path/to/exact/api/endpoint
|
|
refreshInterval: 10000 # optional - in milliseconds, defaults to 10s
|
|
username: username # auth - optional
|
|
password: password # auth - optional
|
|
method: GET # optional, e.g. POST
|
|
headers: # optional, must be object, see below
|
|
mappings:
|
|
- field: key # needs to be YAML string or object
|
|
label: Field 1
|
|
format: text # optional - defaults to text
|
|
- field: # needs to be YAML string or object
|
|
path:
|
|
to: key2
|
|
format: number # optional - defaults to text
|
|
label: Field 2
|
|
- field: # needs to be YAML string or object
|
|
path:
|
|
to:
|
|
another: key3
|
|
label: Field 3
|
|
format: percent # optional - defaults to text
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Supported formats for the values are `text`, `number`, `float`, `percent`, `bytes` and `bitrate`.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
For the following JSON object from the API:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"id": 1,
|
|
"name": "Rick Sanchez",
|
|
"status": "Alive",
|
|
"species": "Human",
|
|
"gender": "Male",
|
|
"origin": {
|
|
"name": "Earth (C-137)"
|
|
},
|
|
"locations": [
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "Earth (C-137)"
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "Citadel of Ricks"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Define the `mappings` section as an aray, for example:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
mappings:
|
|
- field: name # Rick Sanchez
|
|
label: Name
|
|
- field: status # Alive
|
|
label: Status
|
|
- field:
|
|
origin: name # Earth (C-137)
|
|
label: Origin
|
|
- field:
|
|
locations:
|
|
1: name # Citadel of Ricks
|
|
label: Location
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Data Transformation
|
|
|
|
You can manipulate data with the following tools `remap`, `scale` and `suffix`, for example:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- field: key4
|
|
label: Field 4
|
|
format: text
|
|
remap:
|
|
- value: 0
|
|
to: None
|
|
- value: 1
|
|
to: Connected
|
|
- any: true # will map all other values
|
|
to: Unknown
|
|
- field: key5
|
|
label: Power
|
|
format: float
|
|
scale: 0.001 # can be number or string e.g. 1/16
|
|
suffix: kW
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Custom Headers
|
|
|
|
Pass custom headers using the `headers` option, for example:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
headers:
|
|
X-API-Token: token
|
|
```
