·Lukas HermannLukas Hermann

Weā€™re excited to announce the release of Stagetimer API v1, a more powerful and versatile version of our API! Weā€™ve made significant improvements based on your feedback, making it even easier for you to integrate Stagetimer with your favorite tools and platforms.

Hereā€™s whatā€™s new in API v1

  • āž• More endpoints for greater control and flexibility.
  • šŸš« No more POST requests, all endpoints are now GET, making it easier to work with video production tools.
  • šŸ”‘ Improved URLs: Room ID is no longer part of the URL, simplifying the usage process.
  • šŸ› ļø Endpoints to create, update, and delete timers and messages.
  • šŸŒ Public socket for real-time updates from the server.

Donā€™t worry if youā€™re currently using API v0, it will still be available and maintained for a while longer. Thereā€™s no need to change your existing setup if itā€™s working well for you.

  • šŸŽ¶ Writing an adapter for the OSC protocol, opening up even more possibilities for integration.
