Controlling Proxima via REST API

The Proxima 4020, 4040, and 4060 servers can be controlled remotely via a simple and effective REST API interface. This public API allows you to control the audio volume, manage the mute status, and perform system actions such as restarting or shutting down.

This document presents all available endpoints, how they work, and a concrete example of HTML/JavaScript integration.

HTML/JavaScript example

Below is a ready-to-use HTML/JavaScript interface to test and integrate the Proxima REST API. You can directly edit the IP address and parameters to match your configuration. 

(Edit the ProximaURL variable to match with the IPv4 address of your Proxima server):
