HTTP API reference

The supervisor exposes an HTTP API on port 48484 (RESIN_SUPERVISOR_PORT).

All endpoints require an apikey parameter, which is exposed to the application as RESIN_SUPERVISOR_API_KEY.

The full address for the API, i.e. "http://127.0.0.1:48484", is available as RESIN_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS. Always use these variables when communicating via the API, since address and port could change.

Alternatively, the Resin API (api.resin.io) has a proxy endpoint at POST /supervisor/<url> (where <url> is one of the API URLs described below) from which you can send API commands to the supervisor remotely, using your Auth Token instead of your API key. Commands sent through the proxy require an appId and/or deviceId parameter in the body, and default to POST requests unless you specify a method parameter (e.g. "GET").

The API is versioned (currently at v1), except for /ping.

You might notice that the formats of some responses differ. This is because they were implemented later, and in Go instead of node.js.

Here's the full list of endpoints implemented so far. In all examples, replace everything between < > for the corresponding values.

GET /ping

Responds with a simple "OK", signaling that the supervisor is alive and well.

Examples:

From the app on the device:

$ curl -X GET --header "Content-Type:application/json" \
	"$RESIN_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS/ping?apikey=$RESIN_SUPERVISOR_API_KEY"

Response:

OK

Remotely via the API proxy:

$ curl -X POST --header "Content-Type:application/json" \
	--header "Authorization: Bearer <auth token>" \
	--data '{"deviceId": <deviceId>, "appId": <appId>, "method": "GET"}' \
	"https://api.resin.io/supervisor/ping"

POST /v1/blink

Starts a blink pattern on a LED for 15 seconds, if your device has one. Responds with an empty 200 response. It implements the "identify device" feature from the dashboard.

Examples:

From the app on the device:

$ curl -X POST --header "Content-Type:application/json" \
	"$RESIN_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS/v1/blink?apikey=$RESIN_SUPERVISOR_API_KEY"

(Empty response)

Remotely via the API proxy:

$ curl -X POST --header "Content-Type:application/json" \
	--header "Authorization: Bearer <auth token>" \
	--data '{"deviceId": <deviceId>, "appId": <appId>}' \
	"https://api.resin.io/supervisor/v1/blink"

POST /v1/update

Triggers an update check on the supervisor. Optionally, forces an update when updates are locked.

Responds with an empty 204 (Accepted) response.

  • status: Status of the device regarding the app, as a string, i.e. "Stopping", "Starting", "Downloading", "Installing", "Idle".
  • download_progress: Amount of the application image that has been downloaded, expressed as a percentage.
  • os_version: Version of the host OS running on the device.
  • supervisor_version: Version of the supervisor running on the device.

Other attributes may be added in the future, and some may be missing or null if they haven't been set yet.
