Hi,

The call will be the same but you’ll need to make it from your Android device. I would see if there is a curl or wget or similar that you can run within an Android shell or similar, though it may require root access. For simple GET requests you could also just try entering the URL in a browser, e.g.

```auto
http://[WOWZA-IP]:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/publishers

```

Note that you may need to modify access or authentication for via [conf]/Server.xml for this to work outside of localhost.

Regards,

Paul
