Bridge // API Polling

If it has an API, it has a screen.

Point the connector at any REST endpoint — your internal services, a vendor API, a public data source — and its JSON response renders as a live data table on your screens, refreshed on schedule.

Any JSON endpoint becomes a standing display

Configure the endpoint, method, query parameters and authentication; point the response path at the records inside the payload; the connector polls on the sync schedule and publishes the result as the canonical data table. The Live Data Table widget renders it wherever the design is scheduled — a vendor status API, an internal microservice, an open-data feed.

Was Sie mit it has a screen. tun können

Drei Funktionen, die diese Integration für Ihr Digital Signage-Netzwerk unverzichtbar machen.

Request Builder // 01

Shape the call without code

Method, URL, query parameters, request body and content type are all configuration. Custom headers cover API versions and tenant scoping; timeouts keep a slow endpoint from holding up the sync cycle.

A curl command's worth of control, in a form.

Query params and request body as configuration

Custom headers for versioning and scoping

Configurable timeout per request

Shape the call without code
Response Handling // 02

Find the records, render the table

APIs wrap their data differently — a bare array, data.items, results.records. The response path points at the list; each record becomes a table row with columns from its fields. Pagination support walks pages up to the row cap.

Whatever the envelope, the records reach the screen.

Dot-notation response path

A single object renders as a key-value table

Pagination support for paged APIs

Find the records, render the table
Resilience // 03

Stale beats blank

When the endpoint errors or times out, screens keep showing the last good data while the integration records the failure for the operator — a flaky vendor API never blanks a lobby screen.

Your screens degrade gracefully, not visibly.

Last-good caching on error

Failures surfaced on the integration page

Health checks verify the endpoint independently

Stale beats blank
Bridge // Einrichtung

Vier Schritte zu verbundene Bildschirme.

Von der Einrichtung bis zu Live-Inhalten in Minuten, nicht Tagen.

Schritt 01

Connect the integration

Add the REST API integration in Hangar.Media and open its configuration page.

Schritt 02

Configure the request

Set the endpoint URL, method, parameters and authentication. Secrets are stored encrypted.

Schritt 03

Point at the records

Set the response path to the list inside the payload and cap the rows worth showing.

Schritt 04

Bind and schedule

Bind the Live Data Table widget to the feed in the Content Designer; the connector refreshes it on the sync schedule.

Bridge // Fragen

Häufige Fragen. Direkte Antworten.

Which authentication methods are supported

API key (header or query parameter), HTTP Basic, and custom headers. Credentials are stored encrypted and never appear in the published feed.

How often does the data refresh

On the integration's sync schedule. Between refreshes the screen shows the last published table; a failed poll keeps the last good data rather than blanking the widget.

What if my API wraps records in an envelope

Set the response path (e.g. data.items) and the connector extracts the list; each record becomes a row with columns from its fields. A single object renders as a key-value table.

Is this Hangar.Media's own API

No — this tile pulls YOUR APIs onto screens. The platform's own REST API for controlling Hangar.Media programmatically is documented separately under Platform → API & Webhooks.
