API commands
The HTTP API uses GET-requests (not POST/PUT), and is structured in a way to be compatible with existing hotkey control software.
https://api.vdo.ninja/{apiID}/{action}/{target}/{value}or
https://api.vdo.ninja/{apiID}/{action}/{value}or
https://api.vdo.ninja/{apiID}/{action}Any field can be replaced with "null", if no value is being passed to it. Double slashes will cause issues though, so avoid those.
