Data API

Your own data on screen,
within seconds

Any system that can send a web request can now put live data on your screens: a till, a ticketing or booking system, your own software, or Zapier, Make and n8n. Create a feed, send JSON to its address with your key, and every screen that plays the feed shows the new data within seconds.

Free plan, no credit card required. Paid plans from €5/month. Plugin version v1.2, released 2026-10-20.

On the screen

What the screen shows

Figures

Big numbers such as revenue today, visitors or conversion, with an arrow for the change.

Order board

Order numbers that are being prepared and ready to collect; a ready number lights up.

Menu

Items with prices and categories; sold-out items are struck through or hidden.

List

A table or ranking that turns the page by itself.

Last updated label

A small label appears when no new data arrived for a while, so nobody reads old numbers as live.

Smart triggers

Play a slide when a figure passes a value, or take over the screen while orders are ready.

Setup

How it connects

01
Create a feed

Under Plugins, Data API: choose figures, list, order board or menu.

02
Create a key and send data

POST replaces the data, PATCH changes one figure, order or item.

03
Add the feed to a playlist

It plays like any other slide, in your colors and language.

Privacy

What reaches the screen

Only what you send reaches TVpilot, and only what the feed shape shows reaches the screen, as plain text. Keys are stored as a fingerprint, are shown once, can only write to your own feeds and can be revoked at any time.

Read only: TVpilot never changes anything in the source

Any TV

Show it on the TV you already own

TVpilot turns the hardware you have into a managed screen: an Amazon Signage Stick with the TVpilot app, a Raspberry Pi with one command, a Fire TV Stick or Android TV, or simply the browser of a smart TV. One player URL per screen, managed from the dashboard.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which systems can send data?

Anything that can make an HTTPS request with a header: a till or booking system with webhooks, your own code, or the Webhooks step in Zapier, the HTTP module in Make and the HTTP Request node in n8n.

How fast does a screen update?

Screens check a feed every 15 seconds and an order board every 5 seconds.

Are there limits?

Each feed accepts 60 requests per minute and 256 KB per request, which is plenty for live figures, an order board or a full menu.

Which plan do I need?

The Data API is a Premium plugin, included in the Pro and Business plans. After a downgrade, feeds keep showing their last data.
