Internal GCAPI

To access the Como API you first need the passcodes to the system via GCManage API.

If you're on the same network as the GrandCare system, you can call directly to it's IP address. If not, you'll need to get the public URL from the GCManage API remotelogin service.

This URL (whether private IP or public address) will be referenced as $SystemAddress in the rest of the documentation.

$SystemAddress Examples

http://gcmanage.grandcare.com:21000
http://192.168.0.5
http://10.100.1.5
