Vapor IO

Synse Server API (v3)

Synse Server exposes a uniform HTTP and WebSocket API for reading from and writing to physical and virtual devices through protocol-specific plugins. The same 18 operations are available over both transports: status, version, config, plugin summary/detail/health, device scan, tags, device info, read, read-by-device, read cache, streamed readings (WebSocket only), asynchronous and synchronous writes, and transaction status. Synse Server is self-hosted; the base URL is the host and port of the operator's own deployment, which defaults to port 5000.
