Screens API
Screens endpoints in the Brix REST API: 47 operations (GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE), with auth, permissions and curl examples.
Base URL https://api.brixsignage.com. Send Authorization: Bearer $BRIX_API_KEY unless an operation says No auth. The permission chip names what the key must hold. See Authentication and scopes, Errors and rate limits and Pagination.

GET/v1/screens
List the screens in your workspace, including each screen's organization node, assigned content, online status, and player settings. Pass limit (and optionally cursor) to page through results; without limit, the full list is returned. Results are limited to the organization nodes you can see.
**Notes.**
- The state object is a lean subset here (connection, currentContent, cache, proof, sync, telemetry.identity/display); GET /v1/screens/{id} returns the full snapshot.
- nextCursor is a screen id (keyset by id), not the base64 cursor the shared resource routes use.
| Parameter | In | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
limit | query | integer | no | Page size (max 500). Omit to get every screen. |
cursor | query | string | no | The `nextCursor` of the previous page (a screen id). |

POST/v1/screens
Create a screen. name is required; nodeId, location, and tags are optional. This operation is safe to retry with an idempotency key. Each screen created increases your billed screen count, so this request is refused if your account is suspended or cancelled.
**Notes.**
- Returns the stored row, not the composed Screen that GET /v1/screens/{id} returns: tags is the JSON-encoded string, and the composed fields (contentName, state, …) are absent.
- The screen waits in pairing status until a device claims it (POST /v1/screens/{id}/claim-replacement) — or use POST /v1/screens/claim or /v1/screens/enroll, which create and pair in one step.

PATCH/v1/screens/{id}
Update a screen's own fields, including name, location, tags, orientation, organization node, and player settings. This endpoint does not assign content; use POST /v1/screens/:id/assign to change what a screen plays.
Partial update. To change what a screen plays use POST /v1/screens/{id}/assign — this route refuses contentKind/contentId with a 400.
**Notes.**
- The PATCH response does not merge the live socket facts (linkFlaps10m, a socket-fresh lastSeenAt) that GET adds.
