lg-netcast

Netcast client written in js/ts

Installation

npm install lg-netcast

Usage Example

Initialize the client with the API host. By default the port is :8080, make sure you add that to your API_HOST

Get current channel information

const client = new NetcastClient(API_HOST);
client.get_session(access_token).then(async (session_id) => {
    const cur_channel = await client.get_current_channel(session_id);
    console.log(cur_channel);
});

Check the API docs for general usage on this package

Authentication

To interact with the TV, you need a valid access_token. The access token is actually just the pair code of the TV, you can get that with client.display_pair_code().

  --access_token: Pair code of the TV
    (default: "123456")
    (an integer)
  --command: command to issue
    (default: "current_channel")
