A cross-platform Bluetooth daemon with a REST API interface. (github.com)

This is part of the cross-platform work for bluetuith, and is essentially a demo of the bluetooth-classic library.

This daemon provides a REST API interface to control Bluetooth Classic functions.

Features are:

  • Pairing (with authentication)

  • Connection (automatic and manual profile based connection)

  • Object Push (Send and receive files)

And currently only on Linux, it additionally supports:

  • Bluetooth network tethering (PANU/DUN)

  • Media playback control (AVRCP)

It also provides an interactive API viewer (courtesy of Scalar Docs) via the "/docs" endpoint. Also, it provides an openapi command to output the entire OpenAPI specification of the REST API.

This is currently in preview (i.e. alpha).

Any feedback is appreciated.

That's cool any plans to implement a WiFi direct style feature to allow faster file transfer. I can see the opportunity to build a foss cross platform alternative to airdrop on top of this.
