Middle Atlantic Racklink Power HTTP Commands

Hi Sam,

Do you have a link to some documentation for the HTTP requests that are possible to send? Then we could help you write the proper SF code to match.

Rest API using Fetch commands it appears:

Middle Atlantic RackLink devices offer a robust API that you can interact with using JavaScript. Here's how you can get started:
Understanding the RackLink API
RESTful API:
RackLink devices expose a RESTful API, which allows you to perform various operations like:
Monitoring: Get data on power consumption, voltage, current, and other metrics.
Control: Turn outlets on or off, set schedules, and configure IP sequencing.
Configuration: Manage device settings and network parameters.
Authentication:
You'll typically need to authenticate your requests using credentials (username and password) or API keys.
Data Format:
The API usually returns data in JSON format, which is easy to parse in JavaScript.
Example Using Fetch API
JavaScript

fetch('https:///api/v1/outlets', {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Basic ' + btoa('username:password')
}
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
// Process outlet data
console.log(data);
})
.catch(error => {
console.error('Error:', error);
});
Explanation:
Import Libraries: If you're using Node.js, you might need to install a library like node-fetch to make HTTP requests.
API Endpoint: Replace with the IP address of your RackLink device.
Authentication: Use the appropriate authentication method. The example shows Basic Authentication.
Request Method: Use GET, POST, PUT, or DELETE according to the desired action.
Headers: Set necessary headers like Authorization and Content-Type.
Response Handling: Parse the JSON response and process the data.
Important Considerations
