Update a sub-composition's content and animation state in one call

To update a sub-composition's content and update animation state in one API request, you'll need two things:

• The app token for the particular instance of the control app you're using

• The sub-composition ID and payload structure of the overlay you want to update

With that data on hand

1. Prepare a PATCH request to https://app.singular.live/apiv2/controlapps/:appToken/control, which is the endpoint to update and animate a control app In and Out.

2. Replace :appToken with the actual app token for your app instance.

3. Add a request body with the actual sub-composition ID and payload structure. Include the updates you'd like to make and change state to In or Out. The request body should look like this, but with the sub=composition ID, payload data, and state filled in.

Sub-composition name

[
    {
        "subCompositionName": "your-subcomposition-name",
        "payload": {
           "controlnode-field": "control node content"
         },
        "state": "<toState>"
    }
]

Sub-composition ID

After sending the request, you should get a 200 OK response with a payload of { "success": true }.
