Object API

An Object is represented by a transformation matrix representing it’s position in 3-space, as well as a collection of Assets (Mesh files, Texture files, Shader scripts, etc.), and potentially a frame and/or timestamp. This API exposes CRUD and Query operations for Objects.

Objects are meant to be interacted with by individual devices, and these changes will be streamed to other devices via the Events API. In addition, Create and Update messages sent to the HTTP API are converted to events and streamed out to registered devices.

Object Creation

POST /v1/object/

Object Lock

GET /v1/object/{key}/lock

A lock allows a single client to obtain ‘ownership’ of an object. This is an atomic operation, and is guaranteed to return a lock to one and only one client who requests it. Keep in mind, however, that no checks are performed within CLyman to verify that the object’s owner is the only one updating it, it is the responsibility of the client to obtain a lock prior to making updates.

Status Codes:
Query Parameters:
 
  • device (string) – Required. The ID of the Device requesting the lock.

Object Unlock

DELETE /v1/object/{key}/lock

Unlocking allows a client to release ‘ownership’ of an object. This is an atomic operation, and no additional locks will be granted on a locked object until this method is called by the owner.
