NOTE: All request URLs documented below must be preceded by a version string, such as /v1 or /latest. The /latest version is always mapped to the most recent API version. This can sometimes be useful in development but is NOT recommended in production apps, because future updates may cause the /latest API version to change, which can break client applications unexpectedly.
Requests marked “Authenticated” require a username and password to be supplied via HTTP Basic Auth. The default username is “kinetic_admin” and the password is generated within the device itself.
To view the password, on the device select the red key from the idle screen, enter the Manager Passcode (default: 1397139) and scroll down to API credentials. On MP200, this option is on the second screen.
We recommend using a tool such as Paw for macOS to test and familiarize yourself with these API calls before formally implementing them in your application.
If you’re not using the UDP broadcasts to detect local Kinetic Engine devices, the IP address of the device can be found by pressing the yellow key from the idle screen and scrolling to the About this device option.
Use this template to compile the URL as:
https://ip-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX.devices.kineticsmart.com:44443/api/v1/
Where XXX is each of the IP address numbers. For example, if the IP address of the device is 10.0.1.196, the URL to reach the device is https://ip-10-0-1-196.devices.kineticsmart.com:4443/api/v1/
