Wwise SDK 2019.1.11

This example performs the same function as the WAMP example, but this time using HTTP POST.

Initializing the project

Note: This example requires Node.js to be installed.

Run the following command from the sample directory <Wwise installation path>/SDK/samples/WwiseAuthoringAPI/js/hello-wwise-node-http to install dependencies.

npm install

Project Code

The sample file, index.js, in the hello-wwise-node-wamp sample directory performs an RPC call to Wwise Authoring API using HTTP POST.

(function () {
    
    var Client = require('node-rest-client').Client;
    var ak = require('../../../../include/AK/WwiseAuthoringAPI/js/waapi.js').ak;
    
    var httpParams = {
        data: {
            uri: ak.wwise.core.getInfo,
            options: {},
            args: {}
        },
        headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" }
    };
 
    var client = new Client();
    
    var req = client.post("http://localhost:8090/waapi", httpParams, function (objectPayload, response) {
 
        if (response.statusCode != 200) {
 
            if (response.headers["content-type"] == "application/json") {
                console.log(`Error: ${objectPayload.uri}: ${JSON.stringify(objectPayload)}`);
            } else {
                console.log(`Error: ${(new Buffer(objectPayload)).toString("utf8")}`);
            }
            
            return;
        }
 
        console.log(`Hello ${objectPayload.displayName} ${objectPayload.version.displayName}`);
    });
    
    req.on("error", function (err) {
        console.log(`Error: ${err.message}`);
    });
    
})();

Note: The line var ak = require('../../../../include/AK/WwiseAuthoringAPI/js/waapi.js').ak imports a declaration of the API paths.

It is located in <Wwise installation path>/SDK/include/AK/WwiseAuthoringAPI/js.

For the sample, the path to this file is relative to the sample's location.

Running the project

Run the following command:

node index.js

If the Wwise Authoring API successfully connects to Wwise, you should see the following output:
