title: Pica8 AmpCon Network Controller Switch API
version: 1.12.1
summary: JSON REST API of the customer-deployed Pica8 AmpCon network controller.
description: 'Machine-readable transcription of the REST API that Pica8 publishes for its AmpCon Network Controller.
PROVENANCE — read before using. Pica8 does **not** publish an OpenAPI description. This document was transcribed by API Evangelist, operation by operation, from Pica8''s own published API reference: the `AmpCon 1.12.0 API document 20230625.docx` attachment on the public AmpCon documentation wiki page listed in `externalDocs` (page 753668, space `ampcon`, AmpCon version 1.12.1, update time 2023/06/25). Every path, method, header, request field, example value and error message below is copied from that document. Nothing has been invented, extrapolated or inferred: where the source document is incomplete or self-inconsistent that is recorded in `x-documentation-gaps` and in the affected operation''s description rather than being filled in. This is a derived artifact, not a first-party Pica8 contract.
DEPLOYMENT — AmpCon is customer-installed software. There is no Pica8-hosted API endpoint; the server variable in `servers[]` is the operator''s own AmpCon appliance address, exactly as the source document writes it (`https://<ampcon-server-ip>/`).
AUTHENTICATION — `POST /token` exchanges AmpCon web login credentials for a JWT, which is then sent as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`. Only `superadmin` users may mint a token or call the API.
ERROR SIGNALLING — AmpCon reports outcome in the response BODY, in a `status` or `status_code` field (200 / 400 / 500), together with a human-readable `msg`, `message` or `info` string. The document does not guarantee that the HTTP status line mirrors the body, so clients must read the body.'

x-documentation-gaps:
- operation: Upgrade switch (section 4.11)
gap: The URL in the published document is truncated to `https://<ampcon-server-ip>/api/` and the HTTP method field is blank. Content-Type is multipart/form-data and the input is `[sn, files]`. The path was NOT guessed and the operation is therefore absent from paths[].
- operation: Group schedule upgrade (section 4.18)
gap: The URL in the published document is truncated to `https://<ampcon-server-ip>/api/`. Method POST, Content-Type multipart/form-data, input `[name, start_date, end_date, files]`. Path not guessed; operation absent from paths[].
- operation: Run playbook (section 6.4)
gap: The URL in the published document is truncated to `https://<ampcon-server-ip>/api/`. Method POST, Content-Type application/json, input includes playbook_name, playbook_dir, switches[], switch_checkall, group_list[], vars and a scheduled object with type DIRECT|ONCE|SCHEDULED. Path not guessed; operation absent from paths[].
- operation: Get configuration file by name (section 3.4.2)
gap: The published document gives the same URL (`/api/config_files`) for both the list and the filter-by-name variant, with no name parameter. Only the list form is described here.
- operation: Delete group (section 4.17)
gap: The published document assigns `POST /api/switch/groups/update` to BOTH group update and group delete. Modelled as a single overloaded operation.
- operation: Update AmpCon login user (section 5.3)
gap: The published document records the method as GET while also specifying a JSON request body. Transcribed as documented.
