# Moku REST API

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/liquid-instruments/moku-rest-api/  
**Provider:** Liquid Instruments — https://apis.io/providers/liquid-instruments/  
**Base URL:** http://{device_ip}/api  
**Documentation:** https://apis.liquidinstruments.com/api/

Moku REST API is one of 2 APIs that [Liquid Instruments](https://apis.io/providers/liquid-instruments/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Test and Measurement, Instrumentation, and Device Control. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, an API reference, a getting-started guide, authentication docs, and code examples.

The Moku Scripting API is a RESTful HTTP interface served by the Moku device itself. A client first POSTs an empty JSON object to moku/claim_ownership to mint a Moku-Client-Key, then POSTs JSON parameter objects to /api/<instrument-or-group>/<action> for every subsequent operation. Responses are a uniform envelope of success, code, messages and data. Because the API server runs on the customer's own hardware, there is no vendor-hosted base URL — the base URL is the device's IP address on the local network (IPv4, or a bracketed IPv6 link-local address over USB).
