Steps

  1. Identify the anthias device's local IP/hostname on the network — the REST API is served per-device, there is no multi-screen cloud console in the open-source build
  2. Consult the Anthias API v2 reference at developer.screenly.io/anthias_api_v2/ for the assets resource schema (uri, name, duration, start/end date, is_enabled)
  3. Call the device's assets endpoint to create the asset, passing its uri (image, video, or web url) and playback duration
  4. List assets on the device to confirm the new asset registered and check its position in the playback order
  5. Update the asset (enable it and/or set start_date/end_date) so it joins the active rotation
  6. Reorder assets via the API or local web UI if a specific playback sequence is required
