Hi guys,
Trying to figure that out with no success:
I'm integrating BI with Facebox. facebox can get and image ising json post request (quoting from their info:

URL via JSON payload
If you submit a URL, Facebox will download that file and use it as though you posted it.
POST /facebox/check
{
url: "{url}"
}

  • url - (string) The absolute URL of the file to download
  • Set the Content-Type header to "application/json; charset=utf-8"
It looked easy at 1st since the "action set" includes the option for a web request. however,
I'm unable to figure out the syntax to use. If I got it right I need to send Facebox a url in which it will download the image to parse.
tried a couple of options but none of them worked.

Any one had some experience with it?

Any help will be appreciated
Gil

Blue Iris does appear to support all you need to accomplish this easily. But without knowing anything at all about your failure we can't begin to suggest fixes.

Could it be that your facebox is making the request but just getting denied due to authentication requirements? You should be able to tell by looking at the active connections in Blue Iris status window.
