Steps

  1. Create an OAuth 2.0 client in Wallboard (or use the built-in client credentials) and obtain an access token via the authorization_code grant (PKCE required for public clients) or the legacy password grant for service accounts
  2. Review docs.wallboard.us/docs/api/ for the content (/api/content) and playlist/simpleloop (/api/simpleLoop) resources, plus the unified read endpoint /api/v2/deviceContent
  3. Query /api/v2/deviceContent filtered by contentGroupId to see the content/loop currently assigned to a screen or group
  4. Call the relevant write endpoint to update the assigned content or playlist — plain PUT does a partial update on most fields
  5. For a full playlist/data replacement, use the dedicated manage_playlist or manage_datasource endpoint rather than a plain PUT
  6. Re-query deviceContent or the screen status endpoint to confirm the update propagated to the device
