      Hi there,

      actually the module is working fine. i can access remote.html and all functions are working.
      but as soon i try to access the api via command line i get “Cannot GET” error.

      curl -X GET http://192.168.0.114:8080/api/module
      <!DOCTYPE html>
      <html lang="en">
      <head>
      <meta charset="utf-8">
      <title>Error</title>
      </head>
      <body>
      <pre>Cannot GET /api/module</pre>
      </body>
      </html>
      

      any clue what is going on here?

        Are you sure your link example is complete?
        Is the following example $ curl -X GET http://magicmirrorip:8080/api/module/alert/showalert?message=Hello&timer=2000 working?
        Details see https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control/blob/master/API/README.md

          Hi,
          Yes i,m sure. It is from the Documentation you,ve posted.
          But also your link Example don‘t work.

          Cannot GET /api/module/alert/showalert

          What i‘ve read till now it seems that the api folder isn‘t published.
          I‘ve did an update of MM but didn‘t helped.

          Further help is much appreciated.

            I have exactly the same problem - all API calls result in error “Cannot GET /api/whatevermoduleitrytocall”. However, remote.html loads just fine.

              As I have.

              Edited: It was a mistake, sorry. I have same problem.

                Same here too. I thought that perhaps we needed to have MMM-Api module installed but when I install that my MM won’t even start due to errors.

                  @AxLed said in [MMM-Remote-Control] Cannot GET /api:

                  api/module/alert/showalert?message=Hello&timer=2000

                  it looks like the api was changed, but not documented…

                  looking thru node_helper.js you can see all the commands

                  ip:port/remote?action=xxxxx&parms=???&parms2=???

                  the code lists these actions

                              if (query.action === "SHUTDOWN") {
                              if (query.action === "REBOOT") {
                              if (query.action === "RESTART" || query.action === "STOP") {
                              if (query.action === "USER_PRESENCE") {
                              if (["MONITORON", "MONITOROFF", "MONITORTOGGLE", "MONITORSTATUS"].indexOf(query.action) !== -1) {
                                  this.monitorControl(query.action, opts, res);
                              if (query.action === "HIDE" || query.action === "SHOW" || query.action === "TOGGLE") {
                                  self.sendSocketNotification(query.action, query);
                              if (query.action === "BRIGHTNESS") {
                                  self.sendSocketNotification(query.action, query.value);
                              if (query.action === "SAVE") {
                              if (query.action === "MODULE_DATA") {
                              if (query.action === "INSTALL") {
                              if (query.action === "REFRESH") {
                                  self.sendSocketNotification(query.action);
                              if (query.action === "HIDE_ALERT") {
                                  self.sendSocketNotification(query.action);
                              if (query.action === "SHOW_ALERT") {
                                  self.sendSocketNotification(query.action, {
                              if (query.action === "UPDATE") {
                              if (query.action === 'NOTIFICATION') {
                                      this.sendSocketNotification(query.action, { 'notification': query.notification, 'payload': payload });
                              if (["MINIMIZE", "TOGGLEFULLSCREEN", "DEVTOOLS"].indexOf(query.action) !== -1) {
                                      switch (query.action) {
                              if (query.action === "DELAYED") {
                  

                  to send an alert thru the api

                  http://mirror_ip:mirror_port/remote?action=SHOW_ALERT&message=foo&title=help&timer=10&type=alert
                  

                  the remote.html does NOT use the api, but uses the socketNotifications pipe under the covers.
                  which is why it works, but the older /api/modulename… approach doesn’t

                      I think I solved the problem. At least it worked for me.
                      Just delete file ./modules/package-lock.json. And restart the system.
