function Add-VerkadaHelixEvent{ <# .SYNOPSIS Creates a Helix event in Commadn using https://apidocs.verkada.com/reference/postvideotaggingeventviewv1 .DESCRIPTION This method can be used to generate a Helix Event in Command. Users will be able to specify the attribute values for each attribute key that was previously defined in the Event Type creation process. To successfully create a Helix Event, users will need to input the associated Camera ID, API Token with Helix permissions, Event Type UID, and the exact event epoch timestamp in milliseconds. The org_id and reqired token can be directly submitted as parameters, but is much easier to use Connect-Verkada to cache this information ahead of time and for subsequent commands. .LINK https://github.com/bepsoccer/verkadaModule/blob/master/docs/function-documentation/Add-VerkadaHelixEvent.md .EXAMPLE Add-VerkadaHelixEvent -camera_id 6b8731d7-d991-4206-ba71-b5446fa617fc -event_type_uid cf918b16-26cd-4c01-a672-5a91b79311e1 -timeStamp (get-date) -attributes $attributes This will add a new helix event for the current time for the sepcified camera, event ID, and submitted attributes. The org_id and token will be populated from the cached created by Connect-Verkada. .EXAMPLE Add-VerkadaHelixEvent -camera_id 6b8731d7-d991-4206-ba71-b5446fa617fc -event_type_uid cf918b16-26cd-4c01-a672-5a91b79311e1 -timeStamp '1/1/2025 08:35:00 -06' -attributes $attributes -org_id '7cd47706-f51b-4419-8675-3b9f0ce7c12d' -x_verkada_auth_api 'sd78ds-uuid-of-verkada-token' This will add a new helix event for Jan 1, 2025 at 8:35 AM CST for the sepcified camera, event ID, and submitted attributes. The org_id and token are submitted as parameters in the call. #> [CmdletBinding(PositionalBinding = $true)] [Alias("Add-VrkdaHlxEvt","a-VrkdaHlxEvt")] param ( #The UUID of the organization the user belongs to [Parameter(ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [ValidatePattern('^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-5][0-9a-f]{3}-[089ab][0-9a-f]{3}-[0-9a-f]{12}$')] [String]$org_id = $Global:verkadaConnection.org_id, #The UUID of the camera who's name is being changed [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)] [ValidatePattern('^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-5][0-9a-f]{3}-[089ab][0-9a-f]{3}-[0-9a-f]{12}$')] [Alias("cameraId")] [String]$camera_id, #The UID of the event type to be used when creating the event [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)] [ValidatePattern('^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-5][0-9a-f]{3}-[089ab][0-9a-f]{3}-[0-9a-f]{12}$')] [String]$event_type_uid, #The the epoch time of the event [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)] [datetime]$timeStamp, #The parameters to be submitted for the event [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)] [object]$attributes, #Boolean if the event should be flagged [bool]$flagged=$false, #The public API token obatined via the Login endpoint to be used for calls that hit the public API gateway [Parameter()] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [String]$x_verkada_auth_api = $Global:verkadaConnection.x_verkada_auth_api, #The region of the public API to be used [Parameter()] [ValidateSet('api','api.eu','api.au')] [String]$region='api', #Switch to write errors to file [Parameter()] [switch]$errorsToFile ) begin { $url = "https://$($region).verkada.com/cameras/v1/video_tagging/event" #parameter validation if ([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($org_id)) {throw "org_id is missing but is required!"} if ([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($x_verkada_auth_api)) {throw "x_verkada_auth_api is missing but is required!"} $myErrors = @() } #end begin process { $epoch_time = (New-TimeSpan -Start (Get-Date "01/01/1970") -End $timeStamp.ToUniversalTime()).TotalMilliseconds $body_params = @{ 'camera_id' = $camera_id 'event_type_uid' = $event_type_uid 'time_ms' = $epoch_time 'attributes' = $attributes 'flagged' = $flagged } $query_params = @{} try { Invoke-VerkadaRestMethod $url $org_id $x_verkada_auth_api $query_params -body_params $body_params -method POST return "Event created successfully" } catch [Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.HttpResponseException] { $err = $_.ErrorDetails | ConvertFrom-Json $errorMes = $_ | Convertto-Json -WarningAction SilentlyContinue $err | Add-Member -NotePropertyName StatusCode -NotePropertyValue (($errorMes | ConvertFrom-Json -Depth 100 -WarningAction SilentlyContinue).Exception.Response.StatusCode) -Force $msg = "$($err.StatusCode) - $($err.message)" $msg += ": $(($query_params + $body_params) | ConvertTo-Json -Compress)" Write-Error $msg $myErrors += $msg $msg = $null } catch [VerkadaRestMethodException] { $msg = $_.ToString() $msg += ": $(($query_params + $body_params) | ConvertTo-Json -Compress)" Write-Error $msg $myErrors += $msg $msg = $null } } #end process end { if ($errorsToFile.IsPresent){ if (![string]::IsNullOrEmpty($myErrors)){ Get-Date | Out-File ./errors.txt -Append $myErrors | Out-File ./errors.txt -Append } } } #end end } #end function |
