Building JavaScript examples to control RICOH THETA cameras through the WebAPI.
Contributions very welcome. If you commit a .js file, it must be runnable as-is.
It must use ES Modules. As of ES6 (ES2015), JavaScript supports a native module format called ES Modules, or ECMAScript Modules. This is modern way to do modules in JavaScript. This approach uses the export and import keywords, instead of the older CommonJS syntax of module.exports and require.
Run the programs in this repo by using Node.js.
Example:
in fake-theta/protocols, run the following command.
node info.js
There is a cloud API called fake-theta that allows you to test API commands without a THETA. I am using Node.js, so I can run JavaScript programs from the command line. I’m running version 18.15.0. I am on a MacBook Air, running Node.js from the Terminal. I connect directly to my THETA X by Wi-Fi. Node.js
If you don’t have Node.js installed, here’s a good guide written by @erikrod1. Requires email registration.

Make sure to run npm init in the directory you’re working from.
npm init will help you build a basic package.json file. You can just accept all the defaults. After the setup is completed, you may need to edit the package.json file that has just been created and add the following line:
"type": "module",
So my package.json file looks like this:
{
"type": "module",
"name": "js",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "takepic.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC"

As the original fake-theta from RICOH only supplies a single image, Oppkey built
a fake-storage server and modified camera.listFiles to show URLs with RICOH THETA
X 11K images. Additional information on fake-theta with Oppkey modifications is here:
https://theta360developers.github.io/sdk/.
The fake-storage comes with both thumbnails and the larger 11K images from the THETA X. When possible, test functionality with the thumbnails.
