Broadsign Real-Time Pop server sample

This is an unofficial server example. It is discouraged to use it as-is for production uses. It comes with no warranty.

About Real-Time Pop server implementation

This is an implementation of version Broadsign Control 13.2's real-time pop protocol: https://docs.broadsign.com/broadsign-control/13-2/real-time-pop-api.html

Using in your Broadsign configuration

The endpoint should be pointing to <url to server>/pop.

Installing Rust

Follow the steps indicated on the official page: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install

Using VS Code

1. Install rust-analyzer and Rust extensions.
2. Recommended: Change Rust extension settings to use rust-analyzer instead of rls (ctrl + ,).
3. Run unit tests using cargo test.
4. Run using cargo run. Use cargo run --release for optimizations.

Log levels

You may set the log level by prepending RUST_LOG=<level>, where level corresponds to:

• debug
• error
• warn
• info (default)
• trace

RUST_LOG=trace cargo run

Note that logs messages are not currently enabled in the tests by lack of time and will.

See proof of plays

They are stored in the SQLite pops.db file in the working directory. For the tests, a test.db fle is used, instead.

Using Insomnia

An Insomnia file is available (api_insomnia.json). You may import it to help you debug or comprehend how to use this real-time pop server implementation.
