Steps
Enroll devices and apply a Kiosk & Signage (Chrome Enterprise) management license via the Google Admin console
Configure a kiosk app/PWA policy so the device boots directly into the signage app — done via the Admin console or programmatically via the Chrome Policy API
Authenticate API calls with OAuth2 using a Google Workspace admin account or service account holding the relevant Admin SDK / Chrome Management scopes
Use the Admin SDK Directory API's chromeosdevices resource to list, retrieve, update, or deprovision devices
Use the Chrome Management API's customers.telemetry.devices resource (chromemanagement.googleapis.com) to pull fleet telemetry (CPU, memory, network, OS update status, kiosk app status)
Build the actual signage/kiosk experience as a Progressive Web App per ChromeOS kiosk-app guidance, since content/playback logic lives in the app, not the management API
Known gotchas
There is no single unified 'signage API' — device policy/provisioning goes through the Admin SDK Directory API plus the Chrome Policy API, while telemetry/insights go through the separate Chrome Management API; content playback logic is entirely app-side
Kiosk mode requires a paid management license (Kiosk & Signage Upgrade); devices without a license cannot be locked into kiosk mode from the Admin console
All of these APIs require Google Workspace admin-level OAuth scopes — there is no local/on-device REST API analogous to Sony's or Samsung's for direct, credential-free device control
