- Some API calls have a single URL for GET and POST - e.g. `/api/ntp/config`
- Other API calls use e.g. `/api/limit/status` to GET data and a different URL `/api/limit/config` to POST data.
- If you want to investigate the web api communication, a good tool is [Postman](https://www.postman.com/)
- Settings API require username and password provided with Basic Authentication credentials

If you want to configure the ntp server setting, first fetch the information from the web API:
```
~$ curl http://192.168.10.10/api/ntp/config
~$ curl -u "admin:password" http://192.168.10.10/api/ntp/config
{"ntp_server":"pool.ntp.org","ntp_timezone":"CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3","ntp_timezone_descr":"Europe/Berlin"}
```
Then, second step, send your new settings. Use the text output from curl in the first step, add `data=` and enclose the whole data with single quotes.
```
~$ curl http://192.168.10.10/api/ntp/config -d 'data={"ntp_server":"my.own.ntp.server.home","ntp_timezone":"CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3","ntp_timezone_descr":"Europe/Berlin"}'
