Creating HARs.

[beardie79]

"There are numerous ways to create them, or export them in many different applications. Including Postman, Telerik Fiddler2, and even most browsers DevTools will allow you to export/copy web requests as HARs."

May I ask if you have any resources / sources on how to learn how to generate these HARs? I am migrating from a StreamDeck where I could just post a nabu.casa URL from HomeAssistant.

I kinda just found the standard and rolled with it.

The learning curve for how this plugin is using them is INSANELY small.

This plugin is only looking at the entries respective

1. comment for the name it displays in Loupedeck
2. request.postData.text for the payload
3. request.postData.mimeType for the Content-Type (normally application/json or text/xml)
4. url for the actual endpoint it invokes (put ?query=string values in this field)
5. method which tells the plugin how to deliver the HTTP request to the endpoint. (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE...)

You can either create multiple HAR files in the directory explained in the documentation, or stick all of the endpoints in the same HAR file, since entries in an array, however that can become difficult to read if it gets too many entries.

Below is an example of a hollowed-out HAR file, just replace the items with curly braces with the desired values {{...}} (be sure to remove the curly-braces as well).
