Property	Description
Local end point	Specify the local IP and port number that this channel should listen on. The protocol can be HTTP or HTTPS for secure communication. The IP can be any IPv4 or IPv6 IP address that is available or all of them at once. Click on ‘configure…’ to start the NetSh Express Setup.
End point URL	This field shows how the local end point will look. ‘+’ Means every IP or hostname that refers to this server can be used.
Enable JSON API	Check this box to enable the JSON API. JSON API URL’s end in ‘.json’. Find out more in the HTTP API Reference.
Enable XML API	Check this box to enable the XML API. XML API URL’s end in ‘.xml’. Find out more in the HTTP API Reference.
Allow read/write to everyone	This enables everyone to use the HTTP RES API channel. Only check this option if you are on a trusted local network.

On the authentication page you can specify multiple authentication items. These items only apply to the current channel.

Edit HTTP REST API channel – Authentication

The following properties are available for each authentication item:

Property	Description
Description	This can be the name of the user(s) or the application(s) that use this item to connect.
Token	Specify an API key if you want this user to authentication with an API key. If a value is specified here then this value should be present in the ‘Authorization’ header of the HTTP request.
IP Address	If a value is specified then this authentication item will only allow access to the specified IP address. This can be either an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
IP Range	This checkbox determines if the IP Address field is the start of an IP range. If this is checked both IP Address should be set as well as the field below IP range.
Access	Read, Write or Read/Write. Read is able to load / find messages and Write is able to create new messages to be sent. Note: Read access allows users to specify a SQL filter to find messages. This filter is sensitive to abuse by end-users with malicious intent. It’s not recommended to allow read access to users that are not trusted.
