GET AND SET Access Lists

API Endpoints for retrieving and adding the access lists of the ANPR LUMO. There are four lists:
• white list listname = 'white.txt'

• wiegand matchlist listname = ‘wiegandlist.txt‘
Use the GET method to retrieve the property and the PATCH method to set it.

URL Method URL Parameter Data parameter
 /access/:listname  GET  :listname  :filter (optional, can be empty)
 /access/:listname  PATCH  :listname  :entries
 /access/:listname  DELETE  :listname  :specifier

Retrieving an access list

With a GET request a list of plates is returned. The plates can be filtered by sending a JSON document containing a pattern field that contains a regular expression (RegEx).

Add a plate to an access list

With a POST request a new entry for the access list can be added. The body of the POST request should contain a JSON document in same format as successful GET request response document.

Delete a plate from an access list

With a DELETE request, one or more entries can be deleted by either specifying one of the two fields in a JSON document inside the request body:
- index - delete a single item with the given index number
- pattern - delete every plate that matches the given pattern.
