do you have an Ethernet router where you can assign the THETA X an IP address based on the MAC address?
This could be an inexpensive home router. Some of the WiFi routers have Ethernet ports on it.
Once you assign the camera the same (static) IP address, you can then find it regularly.
Using Insomnia or lightweight Postman API client will be easier.
The last time I used Insomnia, it was a bit confusing how to use it offline. They changed it a bit since I wrote this article.
To recap, there are two options:
- you can use a router if you have one and your use case is okay if you have an Ethernet router. This might be easier.
- if you do not have a router in your setup, you can connect the THETA X directly to the Mac with no hub. You will need to set up Internet Sharing on the Mac. The article above explains it.
NOTE: The article was written for developers to test the API. It may be difficult to use in actual production. You should approach it as a “learning” experience and try to have fun.
