Interacting with Running Nodel Instances

Inspect and manage live Nodel hosts through their REST API.

Workflow

1. Identify the correct host and port. With no configured port, Nodel reuses its cached last port or falls back to 8085.
2. List nodes and confirm the exact target name before using a node-scoped endpoint.
3. Read console, activity, parameters, actions, and events before mutating state.
4. Test the narrowest safe action or diagnostic call, then re-read logs and state.
5. Use restart, rename, deletion, script, parameter, binding, or file writes only when the requested change requires them.

Quick Start

URL-encode node names in paths (My Node becomes My%20Node).
