This REST API can be used by external software that want to use to control full frame guiding and full frame focusing capabilities.


In this first version, the API does not allow to control the mosaic capture features available in SkySurveyor.


In a way to make an easy to use API, we have used a HTTP based API based on REST architecture.


Below the list of all Web methods exposed by the REST API.
