HTTP API Quickstart

Use this guide if you want to call the ActionStreamer platform directly over HTTP instead of going through the Python library.

Recommended Integration Path

1. Create an API key and secret in the ActionStreamer portal.
2. Decide whether you are integrating through the Python SDK or directly against the HTTP API.
3. If you are using raw HTTP, implement HMAC-SHA256 request signing first.
4. Start with a read endpoint such as GET /v1/device/{deviceID} or GET /v1/agent/{agentID} to verify authentication.
5. Move on to create, update, upload, and long-poll workflows once the basic signing path is working.

Base URLs

Use either of these as the published API base URL:

• https://api.actionstreamer.com/
• https://api.actionstreamer.com/v1/

How To Use This Documentation

• Start in Authentication to build signed requests correctly.
• Use Errors and Response Handling to normalize failures in your client.
• Browse HTTP API Overview when you need an endpoint-by-endpoint reference.
• Use the Python library pages under API Reference if you are integrating through the SDK instead of direct HTTP.
