No API Access from Home Assistant

[SandraCHC]

I have installed the Figate Addon in Home Assistant, and make only recordings on Motion.
Now I would like to start a recording from an automation für 30 Seconds.

I have try the API from SSH with CURL

~ curl -d "sub_label=lighton&duration=1&include_recording=true" -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -X POST https://localhost:5000/api/events/MyCam/test/create
curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 5000 after 0 ms: Could not connect to server

What is my issue that the API is not answering?

[NickM-27]

you are using the wrong content type, it should be application/json

[SandraCHC]

Thank you @NickM-27
But unfortunately the issue is the same

~ curl -d "sub_label=lighton&duration=1&include_recording=true" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://localhost:5000/api/events/MyCam/202409301351-t1/create
curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 5000 after 0 ms: Could not connect to server

I have try with http and https, with localhost and 127.0.0.1 and with the local ip from Home Assistant

[NickM-27]

Your formatting is wrong, it needs to be json. Besides that, are you sure port 5000 is open

[SandraCHC]

Thank you for your realy fast answer @NickM-27

Your formatting is wrong

What do you mean?

Besides that, are you sure port 5000 is open

I have installed HA in a Proxmox Container, and have installed the add-on.
My IP in HA is 192.168.1.55, and my FQND https://ha.mydomain.tld:8123
I don't found a setting in the addon to enable the api or the Port 5000
The curl command is used from terminal (SSH Addon) in HA directly.

I also used the blueprint and the Frigate integration to send notifications. The proxied api call with ...8123/api/frigate/notification... is working.

But if iI try https://ha.mydomain.tld:8123/api/frigate/evebts...
I get a 404: Not found.

[NickM-27]

You can't use that, you have to use the 5000 port

[SandraCHC]

But why I can't use the API on port 5000 in my HA Terminal?
Is the API only active if I install a separate Container for Frigate and not the Frigate Addon?

[NickM-27]

It's disabled by default for the addon hence I'm telling you to enable it

[SandraCHC]

Ouch. I not recognize the toggle "show disabled ports..."
Thank you very much

Do you know, If I can send a notification from a recording from API?
