In this demonstration I’m testing the API with a mobile android app, as shown in the article referenced below. Currently, I have tests showing different RICOH THETA API commands and requests. I intend to do more tests in the future such as Exposure compensation.
If you’re using a mobile app for testing the THETA API, I’d be interested in hearing your experience using it.
Reference: Using the THETA Web API without programming (Remote photo app)
Testing Environment:
Camera
- Name: RICOH THETA X
- Firmware: 1.41.0

- Can be done through LCD on camera or using the API
- Delete all media on camera
- Can use USB cable, connect to Windows, delete through Windows explorer
Device to Test Camera
- Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab A8

API Tests:
/osc/info
/osc/state
camera.setOptions
(to image) - This option didn’t start working until I added this as the content-type:
application/json;charset=utf-8
camera.takePicture
- make sure this is the content-type:
application/json;charset=utf-8
