### Standalone Server API Documentation

Source: https://github.com/arvydas/blinkstick-client/wiki/BlinkStick.com-API-features-for-standalone-server

Documentation for the standalone BlinkStick server API, which runs on port 3000. It details the '/update' endpoint and its parameters for controlling BlinkStick devices, including status, color, patterns, and LED specific overrides.

```APIDOC
Standalone Server API:
  Endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:3000/update

  Parameters:
    device (string): The API key of the device to control. If omitted, all devices are updated.
    status (string): Accepted value is "off" to turn off the BlinkStick.
    color (string): Color to send to the device as RGB value (rrggbb) or named color.
    pattern (string): Name of the pattern to play.
    firstLed (integer): Override index of the first LED to control. Available values are [0..63]. Defaults to the value specified in the notification.
    lastLed (integer): Override index of the last LED to control. Available values are [0..63]. Defaults to the value specified in the notification.
    channel (integer): Override channel to control. Applies only to BlinkStick Pro. Available values are [0..2]. Defaults to the value specified in the notification.
    repeat (string/integer): Number of times to repeat a pattern. Set to "loop" for indefinite looping or a positive integer for a specific number of repetitions.
    duration (integer): Duration in milliseconds to repeat a pattern. Can only be used with patterns. Cannot be used with 'repeat'.

  Note: At least one of 'status', 'color', or 'pattern' is required.

  Examples:
    Turn BlinkStick off:
      curl "http://127.0.0.1:3000/update?device=1234&status=off"

    Set BlinkStick red with default channel and LED index parameters:
      curl "http://127.0.0.1:3000/update?device=1234&color=ff0000"

    Set BlinkStick blue and override LED indexes:
      curl "http://127.0.0.1:3000/update?device=1234&color=0000ff&firstLed=4&lastLed=5"

    Play pattern "police":
      curl "http://127.0.0.1:3000/update?device=1234&pattern=police"

    Play pattern "police" on all connected BlinkSticks:
      curl "http://127.0.0.1:3000/update?pattern=police"

    Play pattern "police" 5 times:
      curl "http://127.0.0.1:3000/update?device=1234&pattern=police&repeat=5"

    Play pattern "police" and keep playing until a color is sent or another pattern playback is requested:
      curl "http://127.0.0.1:3000/update?device=1234&pattern=police&repeat=loop"

    Play pattern "police" for LEDs 1..5:
      curl "http://127.0.0.1:3000/update?device=1234&pattern=police&firstLed=1&lastLed=5"

    Play pattern "police" for 5 seconds with default settings:
      curl "http://127.0.0.1:3000/update?device=1234&pattern=police&duration=5000"
```
