<h2>
	Sample app using the Social Stream HTTP/WSS remote control API
</h2>

Ensure that you have matching session values, both with this page if testing (for example, dock.html?session=xxxx&server), or used when calling the API itself.
<br /><br />

See <a href="https://github.com/steveseguin/social_stream/blob/main/README.md#server-api-support" target="_blank">this link for details</a> on how to add these commands to your stream deck or application. 
<br /><br /><br />As a basic example though, a call that uses a basic GET request would be structured like:<br /><p><b><i>https://io.socialstream.ninja/{sessionID}/{action}/{target}/{value}</i></b>.</p>
<br />
<div id="header"></div>
