[New] Use a deployed solution

Endpoints :

• Arm : https://gintoo.com/api/arm
• Disarm : https://gintoo.com/api/disarm

Refer to this section for learning how to issue requests. (Replace localhost with the above endpoints)

How to Run

• You can run this as a standalone node server or in a docker on your local machine.
• To run this as a standalone node server, > - Install npm on your machine > - Run the command npm install followed by node server.js
• To run this in a docker > - First install docker on your machine > - Then run ./scripts/dockerBuild.sh followed by ./scripts/dockerLocal.sh
• In either case, the server console should be greeted with the familiar message: Magic happens on port 8080

How to Issue Requests against the service

Arm the Arlo System

• Run the curl command after replacing ARLO_USERNAME and ARLO_PASSWORD with yours. curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d 'username=ARLO_USERNAME&password=ARLO_PASSWORD&mode=mode1' "http://localhost:8080/api/arm"
• The above request assumes that the mode to arm the system is mode1. Refer to Finding the mode section to verify if this is correct.
• You should get an output :

  200 OK````
  
  

Disarm the Arlo System

• Run the curl command after replacing ARLO_USERNAME and ARLO_PASSWORD with yours.
  curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d 'username=ARLO_USERNAME&password=ARLO_PASSWORD&mode=mode0' "http://localhost:8080/api/disarm"
• The above request assumes that the mode to arm the system is mode0. Refer to Finding the mode section to verify if this is correct.
• You should get an output :

  200 OK````
  
  

Finding the mode
