Setting Up Web API
You can setup Web API from a Web browser and operate the projector using Web API.
Note: You can authenticate Web API communications using API authentication (Digest authentication).
The user name for API authentication is EPSONWEB; use the password that is set for Web Control
Password.
1. Open the Epson Web Control from your Web browser.
2. Select Developer's Menu.
3. Set the Enable API setting to On.
4. Enter one of the following Web APIs to operate the projector:

http://<ip>/api/v01/contentmgr/playlist/play/:id 0 to 7 (default is 0)
http://<ip>/api/v01/contentmgr/playlist/stop 0 to 31 (default is 128)
Note: In the above URLs, enter the IP address for the projector in the <ip> field. For example, a URL
instructing a projector with the IP address 192.168.0.2 to playback playlist ID 3 would look like this:
http://192.168.0.2/api/v01/contentmgr/playlist/play/3
If secure HTTP is enabled, change the http in the URL to https.

Secure HTTP
You can use the HTTPS protocol to increase security between the projector and a web browser
communicating with it. To do this, you create a server certificate, install it on the projector, and turn on
the Secure HTTP setting in the projector menus to verify the reliability of the web browser.
