Tidbyt
Show what's on Airwave on a Tidbyt.
A Tidbyt app (pixlet) fetches an HTTP endpoint on a schedule and renders pixels. The
public API's compact endpoints (/guide/now, /now-playing, /sessions/count) are a good fit. Use an API
key from Settings → API Keys.
Example: "now playing" on channel 101
load("render.star", "render")
load("http.star", "http")
load("encoding/json.star", "json")
AIRWAVE = "http://192.168.1.10:36020/api/public/v1"
KEY = "airwave_your_key" # store as a Tidbyt app config/secret in practice
def main():
resp = http.get(AIRWAVE + "/channels/by-number/101/now", headers = {"X-API-Key": KEY})
if resp.status_code != 200:
return render.Root(child = render.Text("Airwave offline"))
now = resp.json().get("current")
title = now["title"] if now else "Off air"
return render.Root(
child = render.Column(
children = [
render.Text("CH 101", color = "#4a9fe0"),
render.Marquee(width = 64, child = render.Text(title)),
],
),
)For a whole-lineup view, fetch /guide/now (one row per channel) and render a few. Poll no faster than you
need — every request hits your server. See the API Reference for the response shapes.
