Good morning, I’m trying to use the rest api to get information about my streaming application. but any call I make, the result is always the same: { Id = 27, Status = WaitingForActivation, Method = “{null}”, Result = “{Non ancora calcolato}” } Maybe there is some setting to set? I am using the trial version Thanks in advance ---

Hello @Davide_Rendina, I can share some resources with examples that may help you out. This is how you query the Engine to get stream data: ``` curl -X GET \ -H 'Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8' \ -H 'Content-Type:application/json; charset=utf-8' \ http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/live/monitoring/current ``` > **[Get stream statistics with the REST API](https://www.wowza.com/docs/statistics-query-examples)** > > Retrieve stream, application, and server statistics with these Wowza Streaming Engine REST API query examples We have this video tutorial as well to get you familiar with making REST API calls.

I use curl for windows, do you have to use a different syntax? Also, if I were to call the API from a remote server and not from localhost, can I refer to some examples? thank you, good day ---

hello, I managed to make the call via cUrl but got this message: {“message”:“Your IP address (myIp) has been blocked”,“wowzaServer”:“4.8.11+5”,“success”:false,“code”:“403”} I have already tried to put my IP in the whiteList in the server.xml file but I get the same result `127.0.0.1` `xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx` ---

Perfect through cUrl now I can use the API. Is there any documentation regarding the use of the REST API through an [Asp.Net](http://Asp.Net) application? in the forum I found a link but the page no longer exists. Thank you ---

We do not have an [ASP.net](http://ASP.net) client. It is up to the user to generate a client library as the referenced Wowza page suggests.
