=== media.index ===
=== media.index ===
Start a new media database index.
Create a new media database index.


This method can, optionally, take a list of strings of system IDs to restrict the index to just those systems.
During an index, the server will emit [[API/Notifications#media.indexing|media.indexing]] notifications showing progress of the index.


This method does not block and wait for the index to complete. It will return a response immediately and start in the background. <code>media.indexing</code> notifications will be sent to show progress of current indexing process.

== Mappings ==
Mappings are used to modify the contents of tokens before they're launched, based on different types of matching parameters. Stored mappings are queried before every launch and applied to the token if there's a match. This allows, for example, adding ZapScript to a read-only NFC tag based on its UID.

Methods are used to execute actions and request data back from the API.

Launching

launch

Emulate the scanning of a token.

Parameters

Accepts two types of parameters:

  • A string, in which case the string will be treated as the token text with all other options set as default.
  • An object:
Key Type Required Description
type string No An internal category of the type of token being scanned. Not currently in use outside of logging.
uid string No* The UID of the token being scanned. For example, the UID of an NFC tag. Used for matching mappings.
text string No* The main text to be processed from a scan, should contain ZapScript.
data string No* The raw data read from a token, converted to a hexadecimal string. Used in mappings and detection of NFC toys.

These parameters allow emulating a token exactly as it would be read directly from an attached reader on the server. A request's parameters must contain at least a populated uid, text or data value.

Result

Returns null on success.

Currently, it is not reported if the launched ZapScript encountered an error during launching, and the method will return before execution of ZapScript is complete.

Example

Request
{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": "52f6242e-7a5a-11ef-bf93-020304050607",
    "method": "launch",
    "params": {
        "text": "**launch.system:snes"
    }
}
Response
{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": "52f6242e-7a5a-11ef-bf93-020304050607",
    "result": null
}

stop

Kill any active launcher, if possible.

This method is highly dependant on the platform and specific launcher used. It's not guaranteed that a launcher is capable of killing the playing process.

Parameters

None.

Result

Returns null on success.

Currently, it is not reported if a process was killed or not.

Example

Request
{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": "176b4558-7a5b-11ef-b318-020304050607",
    "method": "stop"
}
Response
{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": "176b4558-7a5b-11ef-b318-020304050607",
    "result": null
}

Mappings

Mappings are used to modify the contents of tokens before they're launched, based on different types of matching parameters. Stored mappings are queried before every launch and applied to the token if there's a match. This allows, for example, adding ZapScript to a read-only NFC tag based on its UID.

mappings

List all mappings.

Returns a list of all active and inactive mappings entries stored on server.

Parameters

None.

Result

Key Type Required Description
mappings Mapping[] Yes List of all stored mappings. See mapping object.
Mapping object
Key Type Required Description
added string Yes Timestamp of the time mapping was created in RFC3339 format.
enabled boolean Yes True if the mapping will be used when looking up matching mappings.
id number Yes Internal database ID of mapping entry. Used to reference mapping for updates and deletions.
label string No An optional display name shown to the user.
type string Yes The field which will be matched against:
  • uid: match on UID, if available. UIDs are normalized before matching to remove spaces, colons and convert to lowercase.
  • text: match on the stored text on token.
  • data: match on the raw token data, if available. This is converted from bytes to a hexadecimal string and should be matched as this.
match string Yes The method used to match a mapping pattern:
  • exact: match the entire string exactly to the field.
  • partial: match part of the string to the field.
  • regex: use a regular expression to match the field.
pattern string Yes Pattern that will be matched against the token, using the above settings.
override string Yes Final text that will completely replace the existing token text if a match was successful.
