Make your first request

Start with an existing camera and a service token that has monitor:read. Complete connection setup and authentication first.

1. List streams and confirm that the response is a JSON array. An empty array means your request matched no cameras within the caller’s access.
2. Copy one camera’s id. This UUID identifies the stream in subsequent API paths.
3. Get a stream using that ID. Confirm that its name matches the camera you selected.
4. Read the returned revision. Update operations that require If-Match use a resource revision to protect against concurrent edits.

The two walkthrough pages use excerpts from fictional responses. For the full response model and supported parameters, use the Streams reference.

If you receive 401, check the server address and token. For 403, check the required capabilities and resource authority. For 404, list cameras again using the same credentials and select a returned ID.
