What is the ProDVX API?
The ProDVX API is a Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface (in short, REST API). It acts as a middleman, allowing your software to easily communicate and exchange data with your ProDVX displays.
Simplified development with the ProDVX API
Meet the ProDVX API! In this blog, you will learn more about how our REST API facilitates seamless communication between ProDVX devices and software applications. We will provide answers to the questions: What is a REST API? And what are the benefits? Enjoy the read or watch the webinar!
The API has two main functions:
- System functions access: it provides secure access to specific system features, such as the LED controller, without requiring your application to be signed with system or root access.
- Model agnostic implementation: it facilitates identical software implementation across various ProDVX Android models.
Implementing the ProDVX API on your devices opens doors for greater automation, control, and streamlined communication between applications and ProDVX devices.
More about the benefits will be discussed later in this blog. First, let’s explain why we created this API.
Why did we create the ProDVX API?
We understand and recognise the challenges our partners and customers face in keeping pace with rapid Android updates, stricter security measures, and ever-changing hardware features. That’s why we’ve created the ProDVX API, a unified solution designed to streamline development and empower you to leverage the full potential of our latest hardware advancements.
The benefits of the ProDVX API
The ProDVX API offers numerous benefits for both our end-customers and channel partners, including:
- Ongoing development and maturity;
- Access to device information and status;
- Access to system functions, even without having your application signed for system access;
- Support for both remote and local development;
- Unified access to controllers (e.g. LED) in a structured manner;
- A model-independent interface that facilitates unified communication between software and hardware across our whole range;
- Default support for HTTP protocols;
- Enhanced security with encrypted tokens: the API is accessible only through an encrypted token generated specifically for your application.
These benefits can be grouped into one overarching advantage: simplified software development for ProDVX devices. By simplifying the integration process and facilitating optimal compatibility between software and hardware, our partners can fully focus on delivering value to their end-customers.
