Hi,  
is there a way to fill 2 or more devices running Anthias with the same assets from one backend ?

I want to send important Infos to a few monitors in different location on the same LAN. Is there a way to “link” the Anthias installations, so a “master” backend will be used to get the informations on different “client” Anthias installations ?

thinking about a future feature writing this words - how about a “private” vpn like hamachi running directly on Anthias to sync Anthias devices worldwide ?

Hey @NKA - there is an API you can use to push things back and forth, we’ve not written our own CMS _yet_ but it’ll happen in the near future. I’m managing, oooh, 40-odd devices now so it’s starting to get to be a bit of a pain to do this by hand!

Hi AlexisPHC,

is there a tutorial or something else to use the API - I´m not familiar with this, perhaps you can help me - and others - out ?

@NKA, you could get started with [Postman’s blog post about REST APIs](https://blog.postman.com/rest-api-examples/). You could test REST APIs using [Postman](https://www.postman.com/) or even [curl](https://curl.se/).

Once you have an idea of what are APIs and what they do, you can open up a browser and go to `http://<DEVICE_IP_ADDRESS>/api/docs` to check the API documentation (given that you’ve already installed Anthias on your Raspberry Pi or x86 device).

Let us know if you have any further questions.
