It's available with the MonoGame version.
Is way cool.

(regarding OR sending information to en external device)

Is there a guide that makes this easy to implement? I use the Monogame version all of the time and I'd like to see how this new feature works.

It's in the Testing Version too with a little bit of documentation in the manual. (As always, thise needs some attention.)

The web pages are included in the folder Content\Web\ so you can copy and tinker with the files as you wish. The simplest one is APISample which shows how to get data and display it.

You can see what's happening by selecting the Options > General > Web Server = checked and pressing Start. Then, from any browser on your PC, enter localhost:2150 to see a menu page.You can also do this from other devices, but use 192.168.1.99 or whatever the IP is on your Open Rails PC.

The idea is to supplement the existing 5 APIs with more. I want one to use with timetables.

Hello,
Why only few of Json datas are available but not ALL HUD datas (speed, speed control KVB status, volt, amp, pressure, etc ...) ?
Could pressure datas be Json displayed in separate lines ?

Perhaps an oversight.

Shouldn't be difficult to fix so please add a Blueprint Request on Launchpad for the missing items and I'll see what I can do.

Will there be instructions on how to use Api functions?

Good afternoon friends.
I introduce myself.
I am Pablo from Spain, train engineer.
I am testing the OR APIs for a small project and have noticed that there are a lot of repeating parameters.
I was looking for information within my little programming experience to modify or create those APIs.
Thank you very much and have a good day.

Welcome to Elvas Tower.

The Web APIs are fairly new. They make a lot of data available, but not everything yet.

If you can tell us what data you are looking for, we can help you find it or write code to make it available.

control signals and switch ?

Do you mean the ability to release signals and change over switches through the Web API?

Our Web API is currently read-only and doesn't accept any inputs. This is something we want to change.

Is KVB (speed control controler) activated inside API ? If yes what is the variable to be catched ?

Do you mean the TrainControlSystem, which I believe is a controller specified by a loaded script?

No, there isn't an API for this data yet. I understand the TrainControlSystem, being scripted, can do pretty much anything. The API will need some careful design to provide access suitable for all possible TrainControlSystem. Serana knows a lot about this topic.
